Corrections Nursing and the Community
[ send me this paper ]

Cost Effective Measures in Maintenance of Mental Health Treatments and Possible Alternative Therapies
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing cost effective measures in mental health treatment. The Surgeon General in the United States has issued a report which estimates that “one out of every five Americans suffers from some form of mental disorder with direct and indirect costs to society totaling nearly $200 billion a year”. In addition to the number of those considered affected by a mental health illness within the country, the range and diagnoses of mental health illnesses vary a great deal. While those with severe mental health conditions may be able to be “reliably” diagnosed and treated in the medical community, there are those who cannot afford medical mental health treatment as they may be uninsured and there are also those who may be less easily diagnosed or may be associated with mental disorders which relate to alcoholism and/or substance abuse therefore creating a large and diverse population in need of mental health care. The mental health community has also come to the realization that mental health care treatment costs are escalating while funding is not, resulting in mental health professionals seeking other more cost-effective treatments for their patients but treatments which must also maintain the effectiveness of traditional treatment as well. Since alternate treatments have been studied in the past decade, it has been found that while many alternative treatments are cost-effective, many are also as effective as traditional treatments and some have proven more-effective than traditional therapies. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Coworkers And AIDS: Attitudes
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Fear and intolerance comprise the vast majority of attitudes towards AIDS within the workplace. Even though the general public is well-educated by now as to the safety issues associated with contact to an AIDS patient, there still remains unfounded apprehension when it comes to working within the same environment as those with AIDS. Clearly, the HIV/AIDS population faces considerably more challenges than other members of society do, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently ignorant to deeper issues surrounding the disease, often unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it comes their life choices. Inasmuch as the workplace is often a hotbed for judgmental attitudes, AIDS patients have experienced undue stress that is directly related to workplace attitudes. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
