... Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual disorder that is a common psychological disorder. Sexual dysfunction is can be defined as one’s inability to enjoy sexual encounters, affecting both men and women. Sexual dysfunctions seldom threaten one’s physical health, rather, they tend to affect one’s psychological health; depression and anxiety are common psychological effects of sexual dysfunction. ED, the sexual dysfunction among men, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection that is suitable for intercourse (Morris & Maisto). ED can occur at any time during a man’s life. Physical causes of ED can include alcohol or tobacco use, fatigue, brain or spinal cord injuries, liver or kidney failure, and specific types of prostate or bladder surgery. These physical causes can occur at any time during a man’s life; however, ED is more common in men over the age of 65 (AAFP, 2006). Some medical problems, such as diabetes and hypertension, can also lead to ED.

Juarez, MPH Lara Boyett, MSN, RN, ACNP-BC, CEN Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate emergency nurses’ experiences and perceptions of violence from patients and visitors in US emergency departments (EDs). Background: The ED is a particularly vulnerable setting for workplace violence, and because of a lack of standardized measurement and reporting mechanisms for violence in healthcare settings, data are scarce. Methods: Registered nurse members (n = 3,465) of the Emergency Nurses Association participated in this cross-sectional study by completing a 69-item survey. Results: Approximately 25% of respondents reported experiencing physical violence more than 20 times in the past 3 years, and almost 20% reported experiencing verbal abuse more than 200 times during the same period. Respondents who experienced frequent physical violence and/or frequent verbal abuse indicated fear of retaliation and lack of support from hospital administration and ED management as barriers to reporting workplace violence. Conclusion: Violence against ED nurses is highly prevalent. Precipitating factors to violent incidents identified by respondents is consistent with the research literature; however, there is considerable potential to mitigate...

...States. And in these 3.3 million reports approximately six million children are harmed every year by one of these malicious acts; and that’s about six million too many. Simply defined, child abuse refers to physical, mental, or sexual harm done to a minor whether it is intentional or unintentional. But, unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Not only are there several different categories for child abuse, but states also have their own laws are regulations defining the acts. Although Congress has enacted several pieces of legislature in response to the continual problem, clearly that is not enough. It was reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that in 2011 approximately 5 children were lost every day due to abuse related deaths (childhelp.org). There is an obvious need for reformation in order for this pandemic to be overcome. Although it’s not the most known form of maltreatment, child neglect is the most prevalent form of child abuse in the U.S. today, as reported on childhelp.org by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They reported that of the 3.3 million cases reported each year, 78.3 percent alone is due to child neglect (childhelp.org). Neglect falls into four basic categories: physical, educational, emotional, and medical. Physical neglect refers to not providing a child with basic necessities, such as food or shelter. educational neglect is when a parent or guardian fails to enroll a child in school or provide adequate homeschooling...

... Psychology assignment (karon Chewter 7nd March 2016) Psychology applied to health Health psychology is the study of health, illnessillness, and health care practice. Health psychology as a unique area of psychology came to the forefront in the 1970s and has since grown. (Gross.R 2005) Health psychology is an exciting and relatively new field devoted to understanding psychological influences on how people stay healthy, why they become ill and how they respond when they do get ill? It focuses on health promotion and maintenance, prevention and treatment of illness and the understanding of the biopsychosocial aspects of physical and mental illness, improvement of the health care system and the formulation of health policy (S.E, Taylor, 1995). The main areas of health psychology are stress and coping, health behaviours and issues in health. Health psychologists study such issues and develop interventions to help people stay well or get over illness. For exampleexample, a health psychology researcher might be interested in why adolescents continue to binge drink even though they know that binge drinking increases their risk of cancer and heart disease. Understanding this poor health habit leads to interventions to help adolescents stop binge drinking. The waysways, in which health psychologists try to change the behaviours, the influence of behaviourist such as Skinner and Watson will become apparent. Applying...

...of 40 years. In this short reflection, we are going to assess the Physical, Psychological and Social Impact of Bereavement on Individuals, look at the different group responses to the bereavement of individuals and the impact and implication of the people in health and social care when an individual is bereaved. 1.1 Explain the impact of significant life events on individuals. Bereavement is the condition of having being deprived of something or someone valued, especially through death. The individual feels yearning, pining and longing for the one who has died. The bereaved feels empty inside. It can greatly impact the way in which a person deals with events in later stages of life. We also call it grief. One of the biggest reasons of grief in humans is the loss of loved ones. The grief can have multifaceted effects on physical, psychological and social behavior of the people. When grief overpowers an individual, he can be adversely affected in various ways. If an individual hears the news of loss of loved ones, this shock causes the adrenal system to release adrenaline steroids in body causing a variety of physical reactions. It can cause physical ailments, nausea, dizziness and vomiting. There is a sudden increase in the blood pressure and stress levels due to the inflammation responses of cytokines. It has also been observed by the scientists that insomnia due to narcolepsy is one of the main physical impacts of bereavement. On the psychological front, it has been...

...such isolated lives. Constant contact with social media has led to an unlimited number of cases that are tied to social isolation. Because of this issue, people are more invested in everything other than what they are physically doing; the increase of innovations through technology has to lead to a decrease of face-to-face interaction amongst society, which has created less meaningful relationships and a lack of social interaction that we need to function as a society, creating unnecessary health risks for people who fall under this category. Problem Analysis Technology has made too many things so easily available from groceries to shopping to simple communication to friends and family in such a way that people have surpassed being dependent on it. People need to understand that technology isn’t supposed to be so personally depended on, the negative outcomes are so much worse than the positive outcomes.

...of abuse seen in infants is physical abuse defined as non-accidental trauma or physical injury (2007). Neglect, both physical and emotional, is also considered abuse. Typical warning signs seen would be the lack of separation anxiety in the older infant, but more importantly, “the parent is disgusted by child's odor, sounds, drooling, or stools. (Jarvis 2012).” Upon physical assessment the nurse should suspect child abuse when finding multiple bruising at various stages of healing or pattern injuries, especially in infants as they do not walk. Infants subjected to abuse may also present with failure to thrive or growth failure. In India Muslims and Hindus participate in a ceremony were children are dropped from the tower onto a tightly stretched sheet, bounce and are caught and handed to the mothers. The culture believes it is good for the infants’ health, however others may see this as harmful to them. In Arizona it is the nurse’s responsibility to report any and all suspected or actual cases of child abuse and neglect to local authorities or Child Protective Services. This is necessary for all cases where the individual is under the age of 18. The nurse is not responsible for following up with the case, just reporting. American Humane Association. (2007).

This includes the concept of health promotion, which can be defined as the science and art of helping people change their lifestyle to move toward a state of optimal health (Edelman and Mandle, 2010). Health promotion is an important concept in nursing because it encompasses concepts that nursing is concerned with today (Edelman and Mandle, 2010). Today much of the nursing role is involved in health teaching as a form of health promotion. However, we will look at the three levels of health promotion prevention, describe the purpose of health promotion in nursing practice, explore nursing roles and responsibilities evolving in health promotion, and explore implementation methods for health promotion that incorporates areas of nursing. Three Levels of Health Promotion Primary Prevention Level According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health promotion can be defined as “the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health.” (WHO, 2009). Health is reaching a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, by an individual or group. In the primary prevention level, health promotion is focused on preventing or delaying onset of chronic disease (Edelman...
