Case managers
Area of Science:
- Mental Health Services
- Psychology

- Assessing case manager well-being is important.
- Personal growth is a key aspect of professional development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine personal growth in case managers.
- To validate the Case Manager Personal Growth Scale (CMPG).
- To explore factors related to personal growth in this population.
Main Methods:
- A sample of 98 case managers participated.
- The psychometric properties of the CMPG were assessed.
- Correlations with burnout, accomplishment, job satisfaction, social desirability, caseload, age, and tenure were examined.
Main Results:
- The CMPG demonstrated good reliability and construct validity.
- CMPG scores negatively correlated with burnout.
- CMPG scores positively correlated with personal accomplishment, job satisfaction, age, and tenure.
Conclusions:
- Personal growth is a relevant construct for case managers.
- The CMPG is a reliable and valid measure.
- Factors like experience and job satisfaction are linked to personal growth.

01:21Cognitive Learning
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.
01:26Modeling in Therapy
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

01:15Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
