SHORT ANSWER

  1. Identify and describe the four “habits” proscribed by Kaiser Permanente’s Four Habits model. What health communication problem are they designed to combat?

Main theme: Although providers are spending more time with clients, the amount and sophistication of information that must be communicated creates a time crunch that must be met.

Answer must have: Correct identification and explanation of 4 habits: invest in the beginning of the visit and build rapport; elicit the patient's perspective; demonstrate empathy; and involve patients at the end of the visit in designing a treatment plan. Must show recognition that program was designed to deal with the provider-client time crunch through communication training, specifically in the art of the interview.

Answer may have: Mention of other provider-client interpersonal communication problems like power distance and jargon.

A-head: Health Communication in Provider-Client Settings

  1. Considering provider-patient interpersonal communication, differentiate between the machine-and-mechanics relationship and the child-parent relationship. Give an example of each.

Main theme: The magisterial-physician posture of many doctors produces an imbalance in provider-patient interactions that plays out in two ways, in a machine-and-mechanics relationship or a child-parent relationship.

Answer must have: Accurate rendition of the two relationships: physicians are experts who diagnose and fix the problem; the doctor is dominant, all-knowing and the patient is submissive and reliant. Examples must fit descriptions.

Answer may have: Mention of other provider-client interpersonal communication problems like power distance and jargon or the Four Habits program.

  1. Mass media play a role in the realities we see. This is certainly true in television and film’s portrayal of the health profession. How do the media typically represent the health profession? Do they present an accurate picture? If they don’t, what is ignored or left out?

Main theme: Media cannot mirror the reality of health care because that reality is simply too big. So what they reflect is a “fun house mirror” version of reality. Some things appear bigger than they really are; some things appear smaller; and some things disappear altogether.

Answer must have: Recognition that although the medical world is the source of a huge amount of media content, but it is largely hospital-based, with technology and medical experts featured at the expense of primary care. Family care, preventative care, and community health rarely appear. Doctors are always present; nurses not so much.

Answer may have: Mention of entertainment media campaigns designed to improve health literacy, narrative persuasion theory, EORM.

A-head: Health Communication Contexts

  1. One of the factors interfering with successful provider-patient interpersonal communication is fear of malpractice law suits. Is this fear misplaced, and if it is not, what are some proposed strategies for overcoming this impediment to successful meaning making?

Main theme: Malpractice lawsuits are costly to those physicians in money, emotional well-being, and germane to this question, the future willingness to interact openly with patients.

Answer must have: Recognition that these lawsuits are indeed a problem and inclusion of all or most of the proposed solutions: better interpersonal communication reduces the risk of law suits and disclosure-and-apology is more effective than defend-and-deny.

Answer may have: Mention of other provider-client interpersonal communication problems like power distance and jargon or the Four Habits program.

  1. Despite the Internet’s many advantages for improving health literacy, it comes with a number of disadvantages. List and describe three and give its counterbalancing advantage.

Main theme: The Internet and social networking sites have become primary sources of health-care information.

Answer must have: Accurate listing and description of 3 problems—privacy of personal health data; misinformation; disruption of traditional provider-patient relationship—and countervailing advantages—provider access to wealth of accurate data; wealth of accurate information; empowered, educated patients.

Answer may have: Mention of technology’s double edge, cyberchondria, or communicated diseases.

ESSAY

  1. Two reasons that provider-patient interpersonal communication is often problematic is the power distance between providers and clients and the reluctance this produces on the part of clients to speak up. How does the way that doctors and practitioners communicate affect or lead to these problems? How have some patients been empowered to reverse these effects and what are some other solutions that may facilitate better communication?

Main theme: Not only are physicians much respected in our culture for their level of education, skill, and devotion to helping, but when we are ill or otherwise in need, that elevated status is magnified because clients are, indeed, reliant on their power.

Answer must have: Answers will vary, but there should be recognition of existence but weakening of the traditional power distance between doctor and patient; possible mention of machine-and-mechanics relationship and child-parent relationship; nocebo effect; end-of-life conversations; and time pressures because of difficulty explaining sophisticated treatment options.

Answer may have: Mention of ameliorating impact of technology or other provider-client interpersonal communication problems.

  1. Entertainment media have contributed to health literacy and behavior. Yet, there is evidence that entertainment media can also encourage unhealthy behavior. In what ways have they been demonstrated to do so? What are examples of unhealthy behaviors that have resulted? Can entertainment media also facilitate healthy behavior? If so, how? Use examples.

Main theme: Entertainment media’s contribution to health knowledge and behavior goes beyond perceptions of doctors and hospitals. There is much contemporary science demonstrating that entertainment media can encourage unhealthy behavior.

Answer must have: Acknowledgement of all or most of the text-identified problems: media violence and risk-taking behaviors; screen smoking and real-life tobacco use; alcohol ads and teen drinking; thinness depicting and promoting media and distorted body image; children’s screen use and sedentary behavior and related problems. Solutions, such as CDC/Hollywood partnership must be mentioned as well, with discussion of narrative persuasion theory and EORM.

Answer may have: Mention of media effects theories like cultivation and social cognitive theory.

  1. Family and friends clearly affect health and well-being. Detail the health benefits of those relationships and discuss some contemporary efforts to maximize their value. Give examples.

Main theme: Recognizing the value of significant others in maintaining good health and in times of need brought on by illness or accident, an important contemporary health communication objective is increasing the number of people who have friends or family with whom they talk about their health.

Answer must have: Answers will vary, but there should be recognition of fact that family is who patient says it is; different forms of support; family councils; and changes to hospital culture.

Answer may have: Mention of support groups or end-of-life interaction with staff.

  1. Only two countries in the world, including the US, allow direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising (DTCA), so most of the world obviously sees it as problematic. What do you think? Detail its supposed benefits and supposed drawbacks and then take a stand; should the practice be allowed? Defend your answer.

Main theme: The typical American television viewer sees as many as nine prescription drug ads a day, totaling 16 hours per year, far exceeding the amount of time spent with a primary care physician. The practice is not only controversial; many people consider it unethical.

Answer must have: Answers will vary, but there should be a relatively robust listing of plusses and minuses and mention of possible ethical problems. Student must take a position and reasonably defend it.

Answer may have: Commentary on empowered clients and value of technology.

  1. The Health Belief Model argues that six main constructs influence people’s decisions about whether to take action to prevent, screen for, and control illness. People, it says, will act if they….. Finish this explanation. In other words, what are those six constructs and how do they combine to move people toward taking more control over their personal health and well-being?

Main theme: The question of why some people fail to respond to public health campaigns can be answered by the Health Belief Model that, at its root, argues that people’s beliefs about how susceptible they are to a disease, coupled with their perceptions of the benefits associated with trying to avoid it, influence their willingness to act.

Answer must have: Correct listing and description of 6 constructs: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cue to action, self-efficacy. Explanation of how they interact must be accurate.

Answer may have: Mention of health campaigns or relationship between self-efficacy and empowered clients.
