Health Improvement Plan By: BriKekahuna
Client Overview • Gender: Female • Age: 34 • Education: High school diploma • Profession: CNA • Marital status: Married • Chief Complaints: Poor stress-management skills, lack of consistent exercise, anemic, scoliosis, and low potassium level
Overview of Health History • Weight: 145 • Height: 5’1” ft. • Adult Illnesses: Anemic, scoliosis, high blood pressure, irregular heart beat, and low potassium level • Family Health History: hyperlipidemia, anemic, HTM, and gall stones • Modes of Relaxing: Exercise, sleeping, relaxing, and listening to music
Research • Top sources of stress include: • 69% money • 65% work • 61% economy • 57% family responsibilities • 56% relationships • 52% family health problems • 51% personal health concerns • 52% of people are turning to exercise to manage their stress • Sedentary behaviors include: • 48% listen to music • 40% read • 34% watch television or movies for more than two hours per day
Target Behavior • Manage stress
Theory (SCT) • Recognized as a health behavior “system” • Broken down into 3 main factors: • Personal influences: economic status, level of education, self-management skills, and self-efficacy • Environmental factors: family behavior, media influences, social norms, and community groups • Co-existing behaviors: support of unhealthy behavior, which leads to engaging more in the unhealthy behavior
Smart Goal • Forms of stress-management: • Increase in exercise • Join a community group • Increase in positivity • Attend a local church • Maintain a healthier diet • Creating financial peace • Managing work load • Spouse relationship improvement
Results • Highly educated on: • The advantages and disadvantages of the unhealthy behavior • Local churches • Community groups • Benefits of exercise • Started to attend a local church • Thinking in a more positive perspective • Decrease in work-load buildup • Exercised continuously
Personal / Professional Analysis • Using a theory to help guide my client and I was a huge help with both forming the plan itself, and going through it • Helping another individual change their unhealthy behavior, put a huge weight onto my shoulders, considering their personal self-efficacy, their perspective, and willingness to change • Gathering information and statistics on the unhealthy behavior certainly helped my client realize the advantages and disadvantages of that behavior
