Using Visual and Narrative Methods to Achieve Fair Process in Clinical Care
Published on: February 16, 2011
Summary
Adopting a social model of disability requires viewing rehabilitation problems within a human systems framework. This approach integrates individuals and their social context, moving beyond patient-centered care to a more holistic rehabilitation process.
Area of Science:
- Rehabilitation science
- Disability studies
- Social model of disability
Background:
- The traditional medical model of disability is insufficient; a social model acknowledges environmental influences on disablement.
- Patient-centered care has limitations as it isolates rehabilitation issues to the individual.
- A human systems model reframes rehabilitation problems as relational and context-dependent.
Discussion:
- Critiques traditional patient-centered care for its limitations in addressing complex rehabilitation needs.
- Advocates for a broader ownership of rehabilitation challenges beyond the individual patient.
Key Insights:
- A social orientation necessitates acknowledging the social environment's impact on disability.
- Rehabilitation problems are influenced by and situated within social relationships.
Outlook:
- Suggests integrating 'carers' and significant others into the ethical and therapeutic rehabilitation system.
- Emphasizes professionals' self-awareness regarding their roles and influence within the rehabilitation system.
