Book Synopsis Risk and Resilience by : Tyson Pankey
Download or read book Risk and Resilience written by Tyson Pankey and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black medical students experience unique race-based stressors within the medical training environment that compromise their psychological and professional well-being, as well as their motivations to remain in medicine. Such detriments may undermine broader efforts to diversify the medical workforce, and by extension, reduce health disparities. The Race-based Disparities in Stress and Sleep in Context (RDSSC) model predicts that specific coping resources may alter racial minority students' appraisals of race-based stressors and facilitate coping responses that promote psychological and educational well-being. This study examined the validity of race-based stress and coping pathways theorized within the RDSSC model among a national sample of Black medical students. An online survey was administered that assessed participant demographics and measures of race-based stressors, internal and external coping resources, coping response, psychological distress, and educational outcomes. Regression analyses were conducted to examine coping response as a mediator of the relationship between race-based stressors and mental health and educational outcomes, and between coping resources and mental health and educational outcomes. Structural Equation Modeling was employed to assess the overall fit of study data to the RDSSC model. Partial support was found for race-based stress and coping pathways theorized within the RDSSC model. Study findings regarding the influence of race-based stressors, coping resources, and coping response on mental health and educational outcomes have implications for medical education and Black medical student well-being. Additional institutional and individual-level interventions to reduce the occurrence of race-based stressors and increase the availability of coping resources among Black medical students are warranted.
Book Synopsis Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life by : National Research Council
Download or read book Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of older Americans grows, it is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Differences in health by racial and ethnic status could be increasingly consequential for health policy and programs. Such differences are not simply a matter of education or ability to pay for health care. For instance, Asian Americans and Hispanics appear to be in better health, on a number of indicators, than White Americans, despite, on average, lower socioeconomic status. The reasons are complex, including possible roles for such factors as selective migration, risk behaviors, exposure to various stressors, patient attitudes, and geographic variation in health care. This volume, produced by a multidisciplinary panel, considers such possible explanations for racial and ethnic health differentials within an integrated framework. It provides a concise summary of available research and lays out a research agenda to address the many uncertainties in current knowledge. It recommends, for instance, looking at health differentials across the life course and deciphering the links between factors presumably producing differentials and biopsychosocial mechanisms that lead to impaired health.

Book Synopsis Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

Book Synopsis Taking My Place in Medicine by : Carmen Webb
Download or read book Taking My Place in Medicine written by Carmen Webb and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2000-07-21 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adapting to life as a medical trainee challenges any student. Minority students—African Americans, Mexican Americans, native Americans, mainland Puerto Ricans, and Hawaiians—whose backgrounds often differ from those who govern medical centers, need also adapt to the values, beliefs, and customs of the dominant group. Mentors with similar backgrounds, who can serve as role models, are usually sorely lacking. This book is designed to help minority students thrive personally and academically in medical school, to make a realistic assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, to successfully confront societal myths and stereotypes and to develop healthy strategies to meet academic, personal, and relationship needs. Dr. Carmen Webb, having assisted countless medical students with these very issues, has assembled an outstanding cadre of insightful professionals to address these important needs, each highly qualified and devoted to promoting medical student well-being.

Book Synopsis Coping Style as a Mediator of Stress and Mental Health in Diverse Populations by : Galatia J. Cepeda
Download or read book Coping Style as a Mediator of Stress and Mental Health in Diverse Populations written by Galatia J. Cepeda and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the current study was to investigate the associations among negative life events/stress (e.g., daily hassles, trauma) and mental health (i.e., symptoms of: depression, PTSD, and general distress) in European-American versus Latino(a) individuals. Specifically, there is limited research on the coping strategies of minority individuals and how they relate to negative life events/stress and mental health. Although researchers have begun to focus on coping in minorities, mainstream coping measures and theories are frequently used. In the current study, collectivistic and mainstream coping styles were examined as potential mediators between negative life events and mental health. The study included both European-American and Latino(a) university students. Although many of the results replicated previous research regarding the relationships between stress, coping, and mental health, the hypotheses that coping would mediate the relationship between stress and mental health were not supported. It is likely that the complexity of capturing cultural identity made it difficult to draw conclusions about how these constructs unfold in majority versus minority individuals. The task of future research should be to begin to address and assess the multifaceted nature of cultural identity, particularly in minority groups.

Book Synopsis Stress in Hispanic Women Enrolled in Selected Medical Schools in Texas by : Anita Connelly Nicholson
Download or read book Stress in Hispanic Women Enrolled in Selected Medical Schools in Texas written by Anita Connelly Nicholson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little uniquely identifiable information about Hispanic women who gain entrance into medical school is known. A few studies that focus just on stress in Hispanic women in medical school have found "unique" stressors. This research examines stress in Hispanic women students (all four years) at Texas A & M University System - Health Science Center - College of Medicine (TAMUS-HSC) at College Station and at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Texas. Twenty-four women took part in this project. Data was gathered using a packet of questionnaires, incorporating Sheridan and Radmacher's Comprehensive Scale of Stress Assessment and the Personal Style Inventory (1987 and 1991) and The Community Oriented Primary Care (COPC) Student Project: Stress in First-Year Medical Students (Lensky, Noori, Matsukuma, Melamud & Chen, 1999). Each woman was personally interviewed. The results suggest increased stress and "unique" stressors found by others who have researched Hispanic women in medical school. The intensity of medical school coupled with the stress that engulfs them from fear and sometimes anger (two stress emotions) stemming from worry about failure in school and worry about student loans that they are fearful they may not be able to repay causes high stress. Social, ethnic, and cultural bias and norms barriers to which they struggle to overcome anger them. Results from investigation of coping strategies suggest the women are coping as well as can be expected and are joyous over what they are doing. They rely on social groups to give them support. The knowledge they have obtained that there is prejudice toward their academic qualifications seems to make them more determined. They appear to be non-traditional and strong women who feel they are destined to become medical doctors. This research should add valuable information to future research in this area. It is suggested by this author that there is a need for substantial, active, immediate and constant support for all minority students in Texas medicine. It is of necessity that minority mentors be trained and efforts made to put in place a program that works to support the women who are struggling and in fear of failing out.

Book Synopsis Communities in Action by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book Synopsis Boys in White by : Howard Saul Becker
Download or read book Boys in White written by Howard Saul Becker and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition from young layman aspiring to be a physician to the young physician skilled in technique and confident in his dealings with patients is slow and halting. To study medicine is generally rated one of the major educational ordeals of American youth. The difficulty of this process and how medical students feel about their training, their doctor-teachers, and the profession they are entering is the target of this study. Now regarded as a classic, Boys in White is of vital interest to medical educators and sociologists. By daily interviews and observations in classes, wards, laboratories, and operating theaters, the team of sociologists who carried out this firsthand research have not only captured the worries, cynicism, and basic idealism of medical studentsâthey have also documented many other realities of medical education in relation to society. With some sixty tables and illustrations, the book is a major experiment in analyzing and presenting qualitative data.
