Introduction
Case plan and program management can be defined as the process, by which the carer takes the responsibility of the patient through follow-ups with the determination where the patient is has been prescribed with a medicine and treatment process and assessing where the outcome of the treatment is positive. In case the expected outcome is not observed during the case management, changes are made in the treatment programs so that the expected outcome can be achieved in terms of the patient’s health condition.
The case management can be categorised based on the five essential aspects, which include identifying the needs of the patients, assessing the individual patient needs, development of a treatment plan, coordinating a care process and monitoring the outcomes and alternation in the care process to obtain favourable care. In this study, the complex needs of the client are the care plan and management of depression.
The Client with Complex Needs
Depression is often a significant illness. Most of the patients who are diagnosed with depression need primary consultations. Often it is observed that depression is a chronic health condition that often needs certain changes in the care plan so that the condition can be handled. These changes in the care plan often occur in terms of the discontinuity or fragmentation in the care process. This can occur due to the lack in the coordination and lack in adequate urgency showed in the treatment process (Alson et al., 2016).
In many cases, the management of depression encounters challenges that include premature termination of the therapy or frequent inte
uption in the treatment process. This results in an increase in risks of unfavourable conditions such as depression and its related outcomes. Often care plan and program management required needs to be patient-centred so that it also focuses on the self-management and empowerment of the patient in controlling the depression and continuing the care process.
The studies and peer review that has been ca
ied out related to the care plan of any mental health disease are often observed that there are two limitations involving in the depressive illness. One of the limitations is that it is often difficult to differentiate the symptoms in between two different mental illness such as depressive condition and schizophrenia. The second limitation is often the interventional review does not highlight the intensity of the care interventions that are provided to the patients.
As mentioned by Aragones et al. (2017), often in the case management process of depression, the medical professional ensures that there is a stringent follow up of the depression status of the patients. The follow-up plays a vital role in determining the depression status as well as psychiatric consultation. In the case of depression, psychiatric consultation is another aspect that has a unique role in improving the patient's condition. The depression care programs are often observed to provide effective outcome with expected conclusions.
As stated by Aragones et al. (2017), to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention and care plan, it is important for the researcher to monitor the extent the case management of the depression are impacted by the care processes and the care plan. There can be different types of the depressive disorder, based on which the care plan is developed. Based on the number of symptoms and its severity, the depression can be categorised. It can be mild, moderate and severe.
The recu
ent depressive condition is the stage when the patient suffers from repeated depressive episodes. These episodes may result in loss of interest, reduced energy and depressive mood in the patient. It can often lead to anxiety symptoms, loss of appetite and distu
ed sleep. It can also generate feelings of guilt, lack of self-worth and poor concentration. In some cases, the depressive condition can also be the bipolar affective condition, which often reflects manic episodes that are often separated with normal moods.
Maniac moods have elevated and i
itable moods with hyperactivity and lack of self-esteem. The care plan and program prevention are prepared so that the complex interaction between the patient and the society can be resolved. Often depression occurs in the patient due to unemployment, psychological trauma and bereavement. It can lead to stress and even dysfunction worsening the life situation of the individual. Moreover, as highlighted by Cheung et al. (2018), depression has a close inte
elationship with physical health. For instance, there is a close relationship between the cardiovascular conditions of the patient due to depression.
Under such circumstances, often, care plan and prevention programs are adopted by the medical professionals so that the depression can be reduced in the patients. Some of the interventions plans that are usually selected by the medical professionals include community approaches with school-based programs helping in enhanced positive thinking among the children and the adolescent population. In addition, the care plans also include behavioural therapies so that the depressive symptoms can be reduced and improve the condition of the children. The exercise program is also another well-known program for the depressive condition in the elderly patient.
Theories and Concepts
Researchers and health professionals have been utilising models and theories in the field of psychiatry for the determination of the change in the behaviour of the patients and its results care plan initiative that is taken up by the medical professionals. As mentioned by Martinez et al. (2019), the emergence, spread and development of the psychosocial models or theories reveals certain potential explanation that allows the people to behave, think and process the developmental; processes. Some of the theories, which help in explaining depression and its incidence inpatient, based on the theoretical framework, known as psychoanalytic theory. The psychoanalytic theory is based on the philosophies that have been presented by Freud and Jung. The psychoanalytical theory states that mental disorder usually occurs due to certain unconscious powers within the human mind. This behaviour results in dynamic interaction that occurs in between ego and superego.
The main aim of the treatment involved includes increasing individual awareness with the identification of conflicts and underlying causes resulting in the changes behaviour. As mentioned by Ng, How and Ng (2017), the concept of Freud's theory is closely associated with nursing practices of the mentally ill patients that often concentrates on the...
