Discussion: Clinical Supervision – Kaltura WEEK 4 (1)

Substance use disorders are complicated psychiatric and medical conditions that involve physical addiction as well as psychological or emotional dependence. Substance use disorders are some of the most difficult to treat. It takes a great deal of patience on the part of the provider and the client. It may take several attempts before a client is successfully able to “kick the habit.” Your guidance and patience can help the client to persevere through difficult times during the journey to recovery.

Clinical Supervision is an essential component of your development as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. It provides an opportunity for professional collaboration as you share experiences with and gain insights from colleagues. For this Clinical Supervision, consider a client with a substance abuse disorder whom you do not think is adequately progressing according to expected clinical outcomes.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

• Analyze clients presenting for treatment of      substance-related and addictive disorders
• Evaluate effectiveness of therapeutic approaches for      clients diagnosed with substance-related and addictive disorders
• Recommend treatment plans

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources concerning      treating patients with substance-related and addictive disorders.
• Reflect on a client you are currently counseling or      have previously counseled at your practicum site who has been diagnosed      with substance-related and addictive disorders.

Post a 3- to 5-minute Kaltura video in which you do the following:

• Describe the client. Note: Do not use the client’s actual name.

• Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.

• Identify any additional information about this client that may potentially impact expected outcomes.

• Provide specific recommendations for the client to help them in determining why they are not progressing and what your suggested      treatment plan consists of.

• It is useful to      consult the Prochaska and DiClement model.

Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources less than five years in APA format, including introduction and conclusion

Article Critique Instructions

Formatting Article Critique

Length: Your paper should be three-to-four (3–4) double-spaced pages.

Format your article critique by starting with the following:

• The name of the author
• The title of the article
• The title of the journal, volume number, date, month, and page numbers in APA format
• Brief statement of the issue or problem the article addresses
• Brief statement of the purpose, hypothesis, and methods
• Major conclusions

Compose Your Critique

After the opening summary, compose your critique. For this course, your critique needs to address the 1) technical components of the article and 2) your analysis and opinion of the article.

1. The technical components must include your assessment of:
   • The accuracy of the title
   • The specificity and accuracy of the abstract
   • The clarity of the purpose
   • The relevance and clarity of the literature review
   • Absence or error in facts or interpretation (This last item requires you to look at some of the author’s cited references when they seem to be in error or misused.)
2. Your analysis and opinion are the bulk of this critique and must address:
   • The relevancy of the topic and why it is important (or not)
   • Are the author’s assumptions stated clearly and located helpfully on the article?
   • Does the methodology seem appropriate for the issue and hypotheses? Could the work be replicated based on the description?
   • Is the data presented clearly, and is it error free? You do not need to do in-depth calculations, but evaluate the integrity in tables and charts; you may catch surprising errors.
   • Does the author provide a balanced focus on the most important and relevant ideas or weaken the article by over- or under-emphasizing certain ideas?
   • Does the author write clearly? Are there ambiguous statements that should have been clarified or more fully supported with evidence?
   • Does the author seem biased or have clear evidence of objectivity?
   • Are there gaps in the author’s work and conclusions that you believe warrant follow up?
