HLTH1005 Understanding Wellbeing and Mental Health Assignment 1 Brief

HLTH1005 Task Description

In week one you will be assigned to a group of four of your peers. As a group, you will make a presentation that identifies the influential factors of the holistic model that promote and/or negatively impact mental well-being. Each student will also need to discuss one or more of the principles and values underpinning trauma-informed practice. The presentation must not be more than 10-minutes long.

In addition to the presentation, each student will individually write a written response that discusses how trauma might influence two of the factors of the holistic model which contribute to an individual’s well-being. These factors are: biological, social, psychological and spiritual.

Rationale

This task will provide an opportunity to work collaboratively to explore and apply the holistic model of patient care by identifying factors that promote and/or negate mental well-being as well as discuss the principles and practices of trauma-informed care in healthcare settings. Students will get the opportunity to develop their collaboration and presentation skills, encouraging critical thinking skills to promote their own mental well-being. This assessment will ensure that students can collaboratively identify and discuss holistic care and demonstrate an understanding of the principles and practices of trauma-informed practice.

Task Instructions

Part 1: Group presentation

Step 1:
In your groups, using the holistic model of patient care, identify the intrapersonal and extra-personal factors that influence one’s mental health and well-being. These biological, psychological, spiritual and

sociological factors are collectively understood as a holistic approach to mental well-being and informs healthcare professionals with a person-centred perspective to provide the most effective provision of care.

Step 2:
Further, discuss what protocols might be in place in a healthcare setting (either at a system or individual level) to ensure a healthcare setting is trauma-informed.

To do this follow the below steps:

1. You will be allocated into groups of 4 students. This will happen in week 1 and your group details will be accessible in the assessments folder.
2. Each group will need to allocate a member of their group to discuss one of the factors of the holistic model- biological, psychological, spiritual and sociological factors, and discuss one or more trauma-informed care protocols in place for a healthcare setting to be trauma-informed.
3. Each student in a group of 4 will need to speak for approximately 2.5 minutes.
4. Groups with less than 4 students will need to collaborate and discuss all factors of the holistic model together, this may mean that students will be speaking for more than 2 minutes.
5. One group member will need to record, save, download and submit the presentation in an MP4 file to Blackboard.

Part 2: Written Response (750 words)

An essential aspect of trauma-informed practice recognises the prevalence and subsequent impact of traumatic life experiences on mental well-being, therefore healthcare settings need to be safe, inclusive environments that provide tolerance for diversity and compassion.

Choose two of the factors from the holistic model above (biological, psychological, sociological or spiritual) and write a response on how the experience of trauma may impact these chosen factors that contribute to an individual’s well-being. Remember that ‘trauma’ can be defined under various classifications from a single instance or complex. The primary focus of this response should focus on the potential impact these adverse experiences can have on these chosen factors of the holistic model. To complete the written response, complete the below steps:

1.Choose two of the factors from the holistic model above (biological, psychological, sociological or spiritual); and
2.Write a response on how the experience of trauma can impact these two factors of the model
which contribute to an individual’s well-being; and
3.Use at least 3 academic references to support your response; and
4.Use APA 7 referencing style.
