case study presents an adolescent client with a likely diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).   The comprehensive assessment provided by the case study thoroughly addresses all aspects of the client’s life that indicate abnormal symptoms that require treatment (Wheeler, 2014).  The client’s suicidal ideation, depressed mood, decline in focus with school, lack of self-worth, and sleep problems are symptoms consistent with MDD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).  This client expresses fatigue and troubles with interpersonal conflict as well as uncontrollable feelings and actions of self-harm.  His depressed mood and constricted affect are evident, as well as the collateral information offered by the mother illustrates symptoms of depression (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).  His perceived lack of social support would make him a good candidate for group therapy to treat his depression.    

            An effective group therapeutic intervention for depressed adolescents is group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (Keles & Idsoe, 2018).  CBT works by identifying and changing some of the automatic thoughts that are leading to maladaptive behaviors and coping.  Considering the prevalence of depression across all ages, particularly adolescents, group CBT is an appropriate and effective treatment (Keles & Idsoe, 2018).  One of the other factors that makes group CBT effective is the social support that is offered in the group setting (Nardi, et al., 2017).  This client has verbalized a lack of emotional support and understanding among peers, so the social support offered in the group would be appropriate and effective for this client.  Group CBT shows effect for adolescents with depression and anxiety that persists beyond the treatment duration (Rith-Najarian, et al., 2019).  The projected outcomes for this client are positive related to the effectiveness of group CBT.   

Counseling a group of adolescents has ethical and legal implications related to consent and adherence to treatment programs, as the adolescents are often forced into treatment by parents.  This can make it challenging for providers when the adolescent clients are not interested or invested in treatment.  However, this case study presents a client who appears interested in seeking help and treatment related to his symptoms.  It is important to consider the client’s consent ethically even when the legal consent is obtained by the parent or guardian.

Assignment: Workplace Environment Assessment

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template.
• Reflect on the output of your Discussion post regarding your evaluation of workplace civility and the feedback received from colleagues.
• Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:
  • Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)
  • Clark (2018)
  • Clark (2015)
  • Griffin and Clark (2014)

The Assignment (3-6 pages total):

Part 1: Work Environment Assessment (1-2 pages)

• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template you completed for this Module’s Discussion.
• Describe the results of the Work Environment Assessment you completed on your workplace.
• Identify two things that surprised you about the results and one idea you believed prior to conducting the Assessment that was confirmed.
• Explain what the results of the Assessment suggest about the health and civility of your workplace.

Part 2: Reviewing the Literature (1-2 pages)

• Briefly describe the theory or concept presented in the article(s) you selected.
• Explain how the theory or concept presented in the article(s) relates to the results of your Work Environment Assessment.
• Explain how your organization could apply the theory highlighted in your selected article(s) to improve organizational health and/or create stronger work teams. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 3: Evidence-Based Strategies to Create High-Performance Interprofessional Teams (1–2 pages)

• Recommend at least two strategies, supported in the literature, that can be implemented to address any shortcomings revealed in your Work Environment Assessment.
• Recommend at least two strategies that can be implemented to bolster successful practices revealed in your Work Environment Assessment.

re to this discussion post (site sources if applicable)

     Change is a challenging phase to adapt and overcome. Change comes with perseverance, dedication and persistence. Nursing continues to evolve and change over time. “Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a life-long problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care” and improving patient outcomes and work environment (Melnyk, Gallagher-Ford, Long & Fineout-Overholt, 2014). Effectively disseminating my evidence-based change proposal would be to use both internal and external methods. One internal method would be to use the Emergency Department Management Team, including my manager, assistant manager, director and nursing educator to promote my idea of improving policies and practices in place for workplace violence. The use of effective leaders can lead a project proposal to success and with the support and the best intentions of staff to create a healthy and safe emergency department.

     External methods would include presenting to the Emergency Nurses Association to gain their support and enhance ideas of improving workplace violence. Using an organization that is specific to the Emergency Department can help promote ideas of change and can help facilitate changes within a department. 

     Both internal and external methods provide support and guidance to such an important topic. Having both internal and external support will help facilitate the best patient outcomes and the safest environment for employees. These methods also allow the spreading of evidence, information and presenting information to both groups will help facilitate an increase in interest.

     Communication strategies will be different because internal groups will be more patient and employee based where external will include state and regional levels of data to determine the need for change among different facilities. The internal board of the Emergency Department and the hospital will be more interested in its employees and safety whereas an external board like a national organization (ENA) will want to know if this is a facility problem or a national problem.
