Sutherland et al. , (2015) conducted an intervention evaluating the effectiveness of the multi-component intervention ‘Physical Activity 4 Everyone’ (PA4E1). The aim of the intervention was to examine the effectiveness of the 24-month PA4E1 intervention in reducing the decline of moderate to vigorous physical activity among secondary school in disadvantaged areas. The intervention targeted disadvantaged schools in NSW, with five intervention schools and five control schools. The total number of students involved in the intervention was 1,150, where students were aged 12 at the baseline measurement.…
75 million Americans that are over the age of eighteen suffer from a mental disorder. That number is too large! In 2007, three out of every 100 Americans are treated for depression and that number has tripled since 1987. Only twenty percent of those people go to psychotherapy, and the other percent only get treated with medication. Medicine alone cannot help most people get better.…
The adherence rate is analyzed during this program, but it also would be important to analyze the adherence rate after the program as well. We want to see if people will continue the physical activity. Weight loss and an improved BMI were both positive outcomes of this research program. The context of the study was sufficient enough to enhance its capacity for external validity. Since socioeconomic status is a predictor of disease and disability, this is the population that was chosen for this…
To complement organized intervention strategies, parents and staff members were asked about additional or alternative communication strategies that would be feasible when communicating with parents about a health programs content. Table 3 shows which strategies were mentioned most often. To summarize, 100% of parents and 90% of staff members reported email as the best form of communication, followed by take-home newsletters, social media such as Facebook or twitter, and texting messages on cell phones.…
According to Kelliel Woodson in 7 ESL Modifications to Set Your Students Up for Success, one modification a teacher can do for the ELL students is to give them extended time to work on an assignment. The reason she gives is because with extend time the ELL student can help to lower anxiety of the assignment (Woodson, 2017). According to the article, Best Practice for ELLs: Small-Group Interventions by U.S. Department of Education, an effective way to help ELL students is to work with them in a small group setting. The reason is because the ELL students will not be afraid to try without someone making fun of them (Best Practice for ELLs: Small-Group Interventions,…

At International Community Health Services: Holly Park Clinic, I primarily serve Asian-Pacific Islanders and encounter up to 57 different languages in a year. I frequently triage patients with acute concerns who are unable to be scheduled within 3 days. During and after each triage, I find myself asking an increasing number of questions, such as – "Have I integrated my objective data and my patient’s subjective information effectively? What interventions are culturally appropriate for this family? Am I utilizing an evidence-based approach?…
Susan, you mentioned that both of your models included group therapy. I am a strong advocate of group therapy for substance abuse users. Group therapy can be the glue that keeps them held together as a unit. The same principle is applied with support groups such as AA, however a person is generally assigned a sponsor that they can call when they feel their sobriety is being threatened. Lewis (2014) explains the correlation between group therapy and recovery.…
Treating a person with an eating disorder is a long process that requires licensed psychiatric care. “The treatment of bulimia nervosa patients follows the stepped-care program. First the patients receive psychoeducational lectures including elements of cognitive behavior therapy. Group therapy is held by an experienced dietician and a psychiatric nurse throughout around twenty sessions. The patients also receives, and if needed, individual nutritional counselling and social skills training.”…
In order to truly have a healthy lifestyle, physical activity is a huge factor that can go a long way in benefitting an individual’s lifestyle. In a low-contact intervention done by Aoife Lane, Niamh Murphy, Adrian Bauman, and Tien Chey on inactive Irish women who recently participated in a mass 10km run, they share their results and assessment on the effectiveness of this type of intervention. In this paper, I will summarize the overall basis and findings of the intervention conducted by the researches, along with sharing my reaction on the topic. The researchers’ purpose of conducting this study was to evaluate what kind of impact a low-contact intervention would have on the physical activity of women who are not sufficiently active, in this case - inactive Irish women. They went about selecting these women through a survey that was distributed online or through the post.…
In the research article written by Maureen O’ Dougherty and her colleagues depicts women before and after an exercise intervention. The reason this study was implemented to determine if sedentary women after the exercise intervention would remain physically active through the self-determination theory. This theory expanded on the reasoning behind motivation and cultural trends and how it developed women exercise habits, whether it be frequently or not at all. It is known that regular physical activity at the moderate level can decrease activity, but the fact that women have a low level of physical activity prompted this study. Coming into the study there was little known about motivators for physical activity for women or how these motivators…
The Social Psychology of Exercise Adherence According to Seguin (2010), exercise is defined as exerting physical effort to maintain or improve health and fitness. It is truly a remarkable concept in life, as it allows an individual to take control of personal health and wellbeing. Exercise compiled with a little bit of commitment to leading a better dietary lifestyle can produce amazing physical results, but more importantly incredible psychological results as well. The phrase, “you look good, you feel good” has been thrown around for years, but in fact there is proof through research that backs this up with direct correlation to exercise.…
Intro At first glance some groups seem to be quite superficial. When you hear the term jogging you don’t associate it with intensive counseling or any counseling group for that matter. This would be an incorrect assumption. The jogging group is actually a therapy group that pairs exercise with therapy.…
The process of integrative group therapy comes from the recognition that no single theory on its own can be effectively in group counseling to benefit each individual participating in the group. Therefore, group counseling must include a combination of cognitive and behavioral techniques because I believe that no single theory has all the answers. An Integrative approach to group counseling can be a necessary advantage for a leader to relate to each person with in the group. Norcross and Beutler (2008), believe that psychotherapy should have flexibility to be personalized to the different needs and contexts of the group and not applied as one theory fits all. In other word different group members will respond better to different therapeutic…
On the website, people.vcu.edu, it was said that group counseling starts as early as five and could go all the way up to age 18. With that said, different age groups were broken up so it could accommodate a specific age groups. In the beginning, just to sum up everything about children in group counseling, there are three different approaches when dealing with children in group counseling. The three different approaches are Crisis, Problem, and Growth centered groups. In a Crisis-centered group, this deals with a child or a group of children that have a conflict with each other or a disagreement.…
