TOPIC: Critically examine medication adherence in people with disabilities, why disabled people may be non-compliant with their medication regime/treatments using a disability studies analysis, and how medication adherence and non-compliance in people with disabilities is conceptualized in nursing.
THE PAPER MUST FOLLOW THIS FORMAT/STRUCTURE AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS LISTED BELOW:
Strong Introduction:
Briefly identify the purpose of the paper.
State purpose of the paper and provide a brief outline of the paper.
Be clear and concise and state thesis at the end of the introduction paragraph.
BODY (TO FOLLOW THIS FORMAT):
Paragraph 1:
Describe the problem – medication adherence in disabled people and why disabled people are non-compliant with medication regime/treatments.
Describe how this problem is relevant to nursing.
How does nursing define the ‘problem of disabled people’s medication adherence and being non-compliant with medication regime/treatments’? (In an individual’s body? In an individual’s mind, IQ or behaviour?)
How nursing generally addresses the issue? Be specific with this issue – e.g. how nurses focus on the individual’s responsibility to medical adherence and medication regime/treatment compliance instead of focusing on changing intolerant societies; health care providers’ willingness to support people who have intellectual and physical disabilities.
What ways can this approach be problematic from a disability studies perspective?
Are there any areas of commonality in how health care providers and disabled people understand and respond to this issue?
Give a clear summary of the disability ‘problem’.
Give a clear identification of how this problem is defined within nursing using the medical model of disability.
Cite article(s) to support statements.
Important: Provide evidence to back up your statements.
Paragraph 2:
Be sure to include ideas about disability– the medical model of disability vs the social model of disability perspective, the concept of ableism, issues related to rights, to care, to culture and intersectionality.
Be clear between impairment and disability; be clear on the difference between the medical and social models of disability, and correct use of language.
These include separation of impairment (lacking mechanism of the body- e.g. seeing, hearing, cognitive ability, mobility) and disability (oppression, disadvantage and/or restriction caused by societal organization that fails to take into account the diversity of human embodiment).
Be sure to talk about disability in ways that acknowledge these key aspects.
Keep in mind some of the key points, terminology, and language of a disability studies perspective.
When using a word (e.g. intersectionality, ableism, disability justice) – be sure to provide a definition, explain what you mean, you’re understanding of this concept and how it applies within the paper.
If you use “disabled person/people” or “people/person with a disability” state reason for your choice of terminology using a disability studies perspective.
Include evidence of understanding of a disability studies perspective – Cite article(s) to support ALL statements.
Make sure to provide a citation to support each point.
*Remember to be consistent with a Disability Studies analysis.
