Q

Describe the paternalistic model and it’s pros and cons

A
  1. Dr makes a systematic enquiry: asks specific questions
  2. Patient is passive; answers the doctor’s questions
  3. Information flow: largely from doctor to patient, often minimal
    information given
  4. Doctor makes the decision about what is best for the patient:
    underlying assumption is that the doctors is best placed to make it
  5. Expectation that patient will agree as ‘doctor knows best’

Pros

  1. Supportive – good for when patients are very sick, vulnerable
  2. Relief for patient – implicitly trust doctor

Cons
1. Very asymmetrical – patient does not have much input – patient values

Q

Describe the Shared doctor-patient relationship model and its pros and cons

A
  1. Two way exchange of information between patient and doctor at all stages
  2. Both participants are seen as bringing expertise
  3. Patient and doctor reach a decision together about best course of
    action/treatment
  4. Depends on building a consensus
  5. Role of doctor: create an environment in which patient feels able to
    express treatment preferences
  6. If disagreement, process becomes one of negotiation.

Pros
Patient has an opportunity to get a good understanding of condition. Dr understands patients values.
Better decision making – collaborative

Cons
Patients capabilities of making decisions?

Q

Describe the informed/patient-led model and its pros and cons

A
  1. Doctor communicates all relevant information and treatment options, and the risk and benefits, to patient
  2. Doctor communicates sufficient information for patient to make an informed treatment
  3. Patient is active and expects to make the decision
  4. Decision making is sole prerogative of the patient

Pros
Patient has the power to challenge decision making

Cons
Burden/stress of making decision

Q

What is the current stance on doctor patient relationships?

A
  1. Shared model advocated:
    a. ‘Partnership’ idea evident in policy and professional discourses
    b. Shared decision making is seen key element of person-centred
    care
  2. But need a ‘repertoire of doctor-patient relationships’: one shoe
    doesn’t fit all, nature of relationship may change within and across
    consultations
  3. Need to be guided by patient preferences and clinical condition

Q

Why is infant mortality seen as an indicator of health?

A
  • Easy to measure
  • Under 1 year of age
  • As conditions change very rapidly see a change in infant mortality
    rates.
  • Important marker for population health.
  • Dramatic fall in mortality rates since 1988
  • Slight increase in infant mortality rate, don’t know if it’s significant yet

  2. With each step down the socio-economic ladder, health becomes
    poorer
  3. Evident across many indicators including general health and morbidity
    measures

Q

What are the general patterns of health inequality of main causes of death/health indicators?

A
  1. Infant mortality rate- Children in lowest socioeconomic status households have highest infant mortality rates
  2. Cancer mortality – both male and female, most deprived have higher mortality rate compared to least deprived.
  3. Cancer incidence rates – more cases in many forms of cancer (e.g. larynx, lung) in deprived, male and female except, malignant melanoma, fewer cases in more deprived
  4. Geography - Morbidity and mortality rates consistently higher in north and west and in urban areas (UK)
  5. Occupation - poorer health in those who are classes in the lowest occupational group

Q

Describe the behavioural and cultural model for social inequality

A
  1. Proposes: Health inequalities are as result of variations in health behaviours and lifestyles e.g. smoking, diet, exercise etc.
  2. Health behaviour choices is seen as result of:
     Individual choices or
     Knowledge or  Culture
     Evidence: Most important health behaviours follow the social gradient: smoking, lack of physical activity, poor nutrition are higher in lower socio-economic groups

Q

Describe the material/neomaterial model for social inequality

A

Proposes:
1. Health inequalities are the result of differences between socio-
economic groups in access to material resources (social inequality) –
2. direct effects of poverty and material deprivation
3. Access to material health resources is shapes by broader structural
factors: place in society, policies etc
Evidence:
• Lower socio-economic status is associated with poorer access to material health resources (Marmot Review, 2010)
• E.g. Income, food, fuel, heating, housing, transport, healthy environments, exercise facilities

Q

Describe the psychosocial model of social inequality

A

psychosocial environment = the way people’s environments make them feel
1) Psychosocial stress affects health:
I. Directly: ‘allostatic load’ theory links psychosocial environment to physical disease through neuroendocrine pathway
II. Indirectly: adoption of ‘unhealthy’ behaviours e.g. smoking
2) Psychosocial stress associated with social inequality leads to social gradient of health outcomes:
I. Money and other worries associated with low income and poorer material circumstances
II. Stress associated with position in social hierarchy
e.g. poor health outcomes associated with lower social control over life

Q

What is the life course explanation for health inequalities?

A
  1. health impacted by behavioural, material and psychosocial pathways
  2. interact across people’s lives in a complex way: known as lifecourse
    effects
  3. Material, behavioural, and psychosocial (and biological) processes
    operate independently, cumulatively and interactively across an individual’s life course, or across generations, to influence the development of disease risk

Structural determinants and conditions of daily living

  • material factors
  • psychosocial factors
39

A

Upstream: Tackle wider influences on health through public policy approaches e.g. reducing poverty, taxation, reducing unemployment via national policies

Downstream: tackling individual g health behaviours, lifestyles e.g. smoking, diet, access to care

41
Q

What is tackling social gradient and what are some strengths and weaknesses of it?

A
  1. Population wide approach
  2. Aim = a more equal distribution of health chances across socio-
    economic groups i.e. reduce the gradient
  3. Need absolute improvements for all groups but a rate of improvement
    which increases at each step downwards on the socio-economic ladder
  4. Provide resources and services at a progressively greater level as needs
    increase

Strength:
1. Tackles every group

Weakness:
1. Progressive, over time. May take longer than tackling socially disadvantaged straight away.

42
Q

What is tackling social disadvantage and what are its strengths and weaknesses?

A

Tackling social disadvantage aims to improve health of worst off only

Strength:
1. Moral arguments support steering interventions at those in poorest health

Weakness:

  1. not a population wide strategy therefore won’t tackle the social gradient in health
  2. What about those just above the line – where do we even draw the line?
43
Q

How does tackling social gradient differ from tackling social disadvantage?

A

Social gradient aims at the whole population regardless of which social group they belong to whereas social disadvantage aimed only at the disadvantaged group.

44
Q

What is progressive/proportionate universalism?

A
  1. Reducing social gradient in health by tackling the gradient
  2. Population wide approach
  3. Aim = a more equal distribution of health chances across socio-
    economic groups i.e. reduce the gradient
  4. Need absolute improvements for all groups but a rate of improvement
    which increases at each step downwards on the socio-economic ladder
  5. Provide resources and services at a progressively greater level as needs
    increase
45
Q

A
  1. Mass media campaigns on stop smoking and folic acid: increase inequality
  2. Work place smoking bans: increased inequality
47
Q

What is the role of doctors in reducing health inequalities?

A
  1. As clinicians – Ensure access to high quality health care for vulnerable groups, refer to support services (e.g. housing, debt advice), data on inequality attributable admissions
  2. As advocates - Development of services/programmes for better health outcomes
  3. As managers and clinical leads – model employer
  4. As educators - Provide placements in disadvantaged areas, investigate
    social determinants, local projects

    MEN – lower than women ~ 76 years
    WOMEN – higher than Men ~ 81 years
  2. Morbidity:

    - Boys more vulnerable in infancy
    - Immune system differences
    - Some hormone differences
    - Cardiovascular reactivity
    - Neuroendocrine responses

56
Q

What is the difference between gender difference in health and gender inequality in health?

A
  1. Prostate cancer: men only – difference rather than inequality 2. Breast cancer:
    a. higher rates in women – difference not inequality
    b. Lower survival rates in men: gender inequality
57
Q

What does the term race refer to and what are reasons for not using the term?

A

Historically term used to argue for the existence of inherent biological differences between populations

Reasons for not using the term:
Observed differences used to support argument that some populations were superior to others and used to justify subjugation of some populations
Populations are physically and genetically more similar than different

58
Q

What is the meaning of the terms ethnicity and culture?

A
  1. Two common characteristics that separate one ethnic group from another (UK Commission for Racial Equality, 2006)
  2. A long shared history, of which the group is conscious as distinguishing it from other groups, and the memory of which it keeps alive
  3. A cultural tradition of its own, including family and social customs and manners, often but not necessarily associated with religious observance.
59
Q

What are the key ethnic inequalities in health?

A
  1. Ethnic minority groups generally have poorer health than white majority population
  2. Poorer health outcomes and experience is not uniform within the ethnic minorities
  3. Infant mortality rates
    Higher in Pakistani, African and Caribbean compare to White British Pakistani is higher than African and Caribbean
  4. Type 2 diabetes
    South Asian family origin:
    up to six times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than the white population
    Likely to develop type 2 diabetes 10 years earlier
    African and African-Caribbean descent:
    three times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than the white population
60
Q

What are some key explanations for ethnic inequalities in health?

A
  1. Genetic/biological
  2. ‘genetic homogeneity’- ethnicity and ancestry used as a proxy for genetic risk
  3. Some congenital anomalies and haemoglobinopathies strongly influenced by genes but ethnicity not always helpful in helping to identify at risk groups
  4. Epigenetics: genes are affected by the environment
  5. Genes and biology cannot explain all ethnic inequalities in health
  6. Cultural – health behaviour
  7. Seek to locate the poorer health of ethnic minority groups in the nature of what it is to be a member of that particular group
  8. Often focus is on health beliefs and behaviours of ethnic minority groups e.g.
    - ‘Asian rickets’ caused by deficient South Asian diet
    - High ghee content of some Asian diets
  9. Diverse range of health behaviours and lifestyles among minority
    groups:
    - Smoking
    - Exercise
  10. Migratory
  11. Migrants selected by health characteristics – usually have better health among population of origin
  12. Health of migrants tends to revert to the mean standard of the population of origin – produces a relative decline in health compared to health in country of destination
  13. Stressful experience of migration and settling in new country
  14. The ‘Salmon Bias’ phenomenon – people returning home when ill could
    artificially reduce the mortality rate of migrant populations
  15. Social deprivation
  16. Ethnic inequalities in health reflect the broad patterning of socio- economic inequality among ethnic minority groups (Nazroo,)
  17. Socio-economic factors make a major contribution to ethnic differences in health - more important than other factors
  18. Affects access to health resources: housing, food, exercise etc.
  19. More likely to live in deprived areas
  20. Higher unemployment rate
  21. Racism
  22. Racism is a daily experience for many ethnic minority groups
  23. Direct experiences of racism and racial harassment can result in health
    inequality
  24. Indirect experiences of racism also have an effect on health, e.g. a fear
    of racism creates worry and stress which can damage health
  25. Lack of responsive service provision for some ethnic minority groups:
    services need to be sensitive to cultural and religion

Most likely: social deprivation

61
Q

What is racism and its different forms?

A
  1. Racism in general terms consists of conduct or words or practices which disadvantage people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin. In its more subtle form it is as damaging as in its overt form (The Macpherson Report 1999
  2. Direct racism: people are treated less favourably because of their ethnicity or religion.
  3. Indirect racism: people unaware their actions are undermining the position of people from ethnic minority groups.
  4. ‘Institutional racism’: ‘the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethic people’
62
Q

How can racism affect health?

A
  1. Direct experiences of racism and racial harassment can result in health inequality
  2. Indirect experiences of racism also have an effect on health, e.g. a fear of racism creates worry and stress which can damage health
  3. Lack of responsive service provision for some ethnic minority groups: services need to be sensitive to cultural and religion
63
Q

What are the benefits of MECC?

A

Benefits of brief advice/interventions to patients
1. Most serious illnesses are caused or perpetuated by unhealthy lifestyles
2. Adopting healthier lifestyles can have a huge positive effect of people’s health
3. Delivering Brief Advice/Interventions can be the trigger to change
4. Most people want to be healthy and even to improve their own health
(70% of smokers want to quit)
5. Research has found that patients welcome the opportunity to talk to
staff about lifestyle issues, but don’t start this conversation themselves
or think that staff are too busy to talk
6. MECC makes it easier for people to make those changes

Benefits of brief advice/interventions medical professionals

  1. You should see improved and quicker outcomes from treatments (e.g. wound healing)
  2. The satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference to patients’ lifestyles
  3. Increased confidence in contacts with patients
  4. Improving your own lifestyle
  5. Enhancing your skill set.

Duty of care
As an NHS organisation we have a responsibility to protect and improve the overall health and wellbeing of our staff and service users

Finance
e.g. estimates that £10,000 invested in brief advice could save £43,000 health care costs

64
Q

What is MECC?

A

brief advice / intervention
1. It is a brief intervention about lifestyle issues e.g. smoking, alcohol
2. Encouraging people to make healthier choices for better health
3. Systematically promoting the benefits of healthy living - ask advise,
act/refer
