Methods of Documentation II: POMR

Methods of Documentation II: POMR

The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by recurrent obsessions, compulsions, or both, which consume significant time and interfere with daily functioning. Obsessions involve persistent, intrusive, and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that evoke anxiety. Common examples include irrational fears of contamination or harm. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to reduce the anxiety caused by obsessions. For instance, individuals...

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are two separate psychological conditions that influence behavior, relationships, and overall life functioning. Though both involve maladaptive behaviors, their core characteristics and motivations differ significantly.
Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others to manage various aspects of life. Individuals with this disorder often struggle with...

Fatigue

Fatigue

Fatigue occurs when materials rupture under repeated or fluctuating loads, even at stress levels far below their static breaking strength. It typically results in brittle failure, even for ductile materials. It is a critical consideration in designing machines and structural components subjected to repetitive or varying loads. The nature of these loadings can range from fluctuating loads like unbalanced pump impellers causing vibrations to repeatedly bending a thin steel rod wire back and forth...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Classification of Illness

Classification of Illness

The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe and...

Summary

Occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) in New Zealand presents challenges to embodiedness, impacting identities and leading to constant self-surveillance for symptom management despite rehabilitation efforts.

Area of Science:

Sociology of Health and Illness
Occupational Health Psychology

Background:

Occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) poses significant challenges for individuals, affecting their sense of self and ability to return to work.
Previous rehabilitation models often overlook the persistent pain and psychosocial impacts of OOS.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the lived experiences of embodiedness for New Zealanders suffering from occupational overuse syndrome (OOS).
To understand how persistent pain and functional disability are integrated into individuals' identities and daily lives.

Main Methods:

Qualitative exploration of embodied experiences in OOS sufferers.
Analysis of how individuals renegotiate identities and biographies in response to chronic pain and disability.

Main Results:

Embodiedness becomes problematic in OOS, leading to liminal fragility, social isolation, and loss of identity.
Successful return to employment often requires ignoring persistent pain, creating a disconnect.
Individuals develop heightened self-absorption and constant bodily surveillance to manage symptoms.

Conclusions:

OOS rehabilitation needs to address the complex interplay of embodiedness, persistent pain, and identity.
Rethinking OOS recovery must acknowledge the profound impact on selfhood and the strategies individuals employ for symptom management.
