• Self-efficacy
• Concentration
• Attention
• Arousal

Question 2

What is the meaning of ‘Self-efficacy’ and some of its components?

Answer 2

Self-efficacy is defined as a person’s judgement about her or his capability to successfully perform a particular task (Bandura, 1986
Past performance – Good predictor on future outcomes of self-efficacy.
If you believe you are good at something you will most likely continue.
Provide support and encouragement to improve self-efficacy
In order to build self-efficacy, the goal is to learn and not master.

• Vicarious experience.
  Watching someone else doing the skill – If they can do it, you can do it.
• Verbal persuasion
  Depend how you practice this, can be self-talk instruction or motivational. What ever it is that you need to focus on.
• Credible:
  Who ever is teaching needs to be credible, so the student has belief in the teacher.

Question 3

What are the main components of Microanalytic measurement of self-efficacy and what do they entail?

Answer 3

• Level of self-efficacy:

A measure of the total number of tasks that make up a behaviour

• Strength of self-efficacy:

Assesses the certainty an individual has that they will successfully attain each level

• Generality of self-efficacy:

A measure of the number of domains in which the individuals believe they are capable of success

Question 4

What are some models that assist in approaches to practice?

Answer 4

• Biological or “Medical” model
• Psychoanalytic model
• Cognitive Behavioural model\
• Family systems model- Humanist models such as positive
  psychology

All different theories assist in giving us a broad understanding of issues.
You can pick the frame works that best adapt to the situation.

Question 5

Multi-disciplinary vs interdisciplinary care definitions:

Answer 5

Interdisciplinary care
- An interdisciplinary approach to client care involves team members from different disciplines working collaboratively, with a common purpose, to set goals, make decisions and share resources and responsibilities.
- Applies to disability work
- More tailored service dependant on clients needs
- Co-morbidity is the norm (A lot is going on with the client, mental health, physical, housing etc)
- Evidence reflects that Interdisciplinary care produces better outcome
- Including client and workers satisfaction

Multi-disciplinary care
- In contrast, a multidisciplinary approach involves team members working independently to create discipline-specific care plans that are implemented simultaneously, but without explicit regard to their interaction.
Different contexts may facilitate different collaborative care models
- Different disciplines within team but tend to be more silos (Separates) Think E-Focus – no collaboration
- May need to make more referrals for clients/ advocate and refer accordingly

Question 6

What is the role of psychologist within a Interdisciplinary team?

Answer 6

• Understand problems
• Looking at individuals in context
• Managing client’s distress
• Engaging in clients’ treatments/lifestyle changes/managing routines
• Understanding the scope of your practise

Question 7

What are the Collaborative care elements? think about what they entail

Answer 7

• Person-centered Care
• Interprofessional Communication (and conflict resolution)
• Role Understanding
• Collaboration and Leadership

Question 8

What is the Process of formulating:

Answer 8

Good interdisciplinary care depends on good communication
- 5P’s case formulation
- bio-psycho-social mode
- generally used as a combination

• Case formulation aims to organize clinical information to coherently understand a presenting problem and directions for effective intervention
• The formulation asks what is wrong, how it got to that way, and what can be done about it
• Practiced across different disciplines, but integral and routine in psychological care
• Different theoretical models outlined earlier may offer alternative formulations of a presenting problem
• Formulation is an alternative and complimentary to diagnostic systems, it accounts well for context and development of a problem and is well suited for interdisciplinary communication
• Clinically intuitive model often used in interdisciplinary contexts is the 4 or 5P’s
• Accounts for a presenting problem’s predisposing (origin or risk) factors, precipitating factors, perpetuating (maintaining) factors, and protective factors
• Often used in combination with bio-psycho-social mode

Question 9

What is the 5P’s case formulation ?

Answer 9

• Organizing an issue in this way you know what key information needs addressing in order to address the issues accordingly
• Clinically intuitive model often used in interdisciplinary contexts is the 4 or 5P’s Accounts for

1. Presenting problem’s
2. Predisposing (origin or risk) factors,
3. Precipitating factors,
4. Perpetuating (maintaining) factors, and
5. Protective factors

• Offers targets for intervention
• Often used in combination with bio-psycho-social model in interdisciplinary care

Question 10

What is the Bio-psycho-social mode?

Answer 10

• Taking into account the following
  1. Biology
  2. Psychology
  3. Social influence
• George Engel’s Biopsychosocial model attempted to broaden physicians understanding of illness, away from medical model to understand patience in context
• In some ways an integration, quite complimentary, to leading theoretical approaches to understanding psychological disorders we talked through earlier
