Abstract
Physiological, psychological, and structural factors that could impact these incidents are unclear, but many behaviors can be mapped to precipitate such cases of overdose or other alarming trends in the welfare of veterans. The individuals are susceptible to opioid misuse due to a myriad of possible mental disorders, often including comorbid PTSD and opioid use disorder. The researcher focused on the qualitative analysis method and used semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to collect data. The survey forms were structured in sections. The medical practitioner’s responsibility is to enhance the professional management of treatment for individuals while appreciating their beliefs and practices. The prime experience and recovery from a sickness lie in exposure to a therapeutic environment. Therefore, the professional practice among physicians depends on the ability to integrate the metaparadigm variables, that is, nursing, fitness, person, and the surrounding, to promote disparate heritage.
Introduction
Drugs pose a significant risk to the health of an individual mainly because of the chemical compounds used during manufacturing. In this case, it is important to classify the components based on the synthetic make-up due to the relational risks and impact. Researchers argue that there is a significant possibility that an individual addicted to a substance becomes dependent on an opiate with similar synthetic compositions. Therefore, the categorization of medicine provides insight into the peril of abuse. The legalization of pharmaceuticals refers to the level of abuse and the impact on the victims (Dewhirst & Secomb, 2017). Despite the similarity or differences in the compounds, individuals showcase dynamic body responses such as relaxation, anxiety, violence, and excitement. The prescription of opioids among veterans is one of the key factors to assess due to the high probability of addiction that negatively influences the quality of life.
Opioids are drugs with a chemical compound of opium or other synthetics that mimic the effects of consumption. The intake of opioids affects the neurotransmitters in the brain by blocking the transmission of impulses to different sections, such as the frontal lobe. The function of the particular part of the brain contributes to decision-making and reasoning. Therefore, the substance acts as a strong and efficient painkiller as well as boosting the intense feeling of pleasure among the victims. An excellent example of an opioid is heroin, with a significant dependence rate among the users. In research by Tanweer et al. (2019), the researcher stipulates that heroin compromises the brain’s proper functioning by influencing dopamine receptors. The consumption leads to an elevated release of the dopamine hormone to the body system and ensures a significant association between the dopamine release and the drug’s consumption. Primarily, it is an element highly abused among Americans due to its effect on the body.
Physiological, psychological, and structural factors that could impact these incidents are unclear, but many behaviors can be mapped to precipitate such cases of overdose or other alarming trends in the welfare of veterans. The individuals are susceptible to opioid misuse due to a myriad of possible mental disorders, often including comorbid PTSD and opioid use disorder (Bennett et al., 2017). In the worst cases, some studies have suspected misuse of opioids in relation to mental health conditions with suicide ideations (Drews, 2020). Depressants cause the relaxation of the body from anxiety and stress hence the significance to the mental and physical health conditions. However, the elements that mainly include opioids, barbiturates, and alcohol cause a high risk of abuse due to the chemical compounds. The substances affect brain functioning, thus leading to dependence based on the consequential feeling. The consumption of stimulants causes a rush in the body system that boosts wakefulness and energy among the users.
It is crucial to establish the variables that influence the delivery of quality services within the field of medicine. On the one hand, researchers argue that the baseline performance of a nurse entails effective recovery among the patients. On the other hand, it is vital to address the issue of appreciating dynamism in the traditions among the clients (Ĺ korniÄŤková & Nováková, 2017). In this case, the foundation of the simulation regards the proficient exploitation of the metaparadigm concept as a demonstration of professionalism. There are various indicators of expertise in recognition of the diverse customs of sick people. One of the components is the realization of a person’s beliefs and practices without compromising the counterparts’ distinct attitudes and ideas about heterogeneity.
It is crucial for a nurse to integrate dynamic cultural practices with the treatment plans to enhance optimal recovery and client satisfaction. The foundation of competence within the nursing career is the ability to show respect to diversity without judging the outcomes based on appropriateness. In this case, a medical practitioner implements the Purnell model under the spectrum of demonstrating expertise in comprehending the knowledge based on the traditions of an individual and the distinction to the illness. Different communities practice different customs. Therefore, the common baseline risks the emergence of a common phenomenon within the healthcare sector. Primarily, the consequences from the engagements of persons from a particular background render the necessity to appreciate the dynamism while integrating an action plan that projects positive results from the practice. The organizational indicator of the simulation relies on the ability to integrate the institution’s deliverables, such as philosophies and mission, with the necessity of appreciating the heritage of different ethnicities (Sharifi, Adib-Hajbaghery & Najafi, 2019). Fundamentally, the construct of the theoretical mainframe encompasses the optimal utilization of both the behavior and the professional practice within the sector to boost the service delivery system.
Methodology
The research focused on collecting primary and secondary data to affirm the critical interdependent relationship between opioid prescription and addiction among Veterans in the academic sector. In this case, the researcher focused on the qualitative analysis method and used semi-structured interviews and questionnaires to collect data. The survey forms were structured in sections. The first part involved collecting personal details for comparison and determination of gender equality and diversity based on the demography. The second division encompassed assessing the respondents’ awareness of an opioid prescription for Veterans suffering from PTSD and its significance. The third segment involved evaluating social work and care components and the best approaches to promote community health. The last piece enshrined investigating the key variables that foster the interdependence between main factors of the diversity of customs and norms and the population’s well-being.
Findings
There is a significant interdependence between cultural competence and social work and care. The global human society is dynamic, hence the importance of incorporating the practice that boosts relationship-building among people from different ethnic backgrounds. It is an essential factor within the healthcare sector due to the optimal service delivery among patients from distinct regions. The medical practitioner’s responsibility is to enhance the professional management of treatment for individuals while appreciating their beliefs and practices. The prime experience and recovery from a sickness lie in exposure to a therapeutic environment. Therefore, the professional practice among physicians depends on the ability to integrate the metaparadigm variables, that is, nursing, fitness, person, and the surrounding, to promote disparate heritage.
Conclusion
Cultural competence is an essential factor among medical practitioners in delivering services to veterans. American soldiers experience a profound challenge during the operations that affect their mental health. One of the common sicknesses among individuals is post-traumatic stress disorder. It is a condition that physicians treat with an opioid prescription. Although it is a chemical compound that offers relief among patients, it poses a high risk of addiction due to its effect on dopamine release to the body. It is crucial healthcare professionals consider the utilization of meta paradigm aspects in the medication among the veterans to prevent the addiction to opioids.
