Epidemiology: A) Helps promote understanding of the patterns of occurrence associated with mental disorders. B) Helps explain research findings about the neurophysiology that causes mental disorders.

Ans: A Chapter: 1 Client Needs: Safe, Effective Care Environment: Management of Care Cognitive Level: Apply Integrated Process: Teaching/Learning Objective: 4 Page Number: 2 Feedback: Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease distribution and determinants of health within populations. It contributes to the overall understanding of the mental health status of population groups, or aggregates, and it examines the associations among possible factors. Epidemiology does not explain research findings about neurophysiology, provide theoretical explanations for why specific disorders occur, or predict recovery. 2.

C O M Integrated Process: Nursing Process Objective: 5 Page Number: 4 Feedback: Although public stigma and self-stigma may be areas needing to be addressed, in this cultural group, label avoidance would be most important. Label avoidance or avoiding treatment/care so as not to be labeled mentally ill is a type of stigma that influences why so few people with mental health problems actually receive assistance. Asian cultures commonly have negative views of mental illness that influence the willingness of members to seek treatment; they possibly ignore the symptoms or refuse to seek treatment because of this stigma. Negative life events affect anyone, not just those of the Asian culture. 3. A nursing student is assigned to care for a client diagnosed with schizophrenia.
