FAMILY ASSESSMENT PART II

Family Health Assessment Part II

Health can be seen as being free from sicknesses and infirmities. This definition is not

complete without mentioning and emphasizing the individual mental, emotional and physical

wellbeing. The resources and the opportunities an individual possesses are also determinants of

healthy living. The health of individuals ranges from another as a result of environment or

residential areas. A lot of factors which could be education, social-economic and food can

contribute to one's health. This is made known by Healthy people (2020); ''social determinants of

health (SDOH) are conditions in the environment. Which people are, born, learn, live, play,

worship, work and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning and quality of life outcomes

and risks''. Paragraph 1 of Healthy People (2020, 2019), it was stated that there are just five

essential areas of determinants. Which are education, economic stability, social and economic

context, health and healthcare, neighbourhood and environment?

It can also be said that every family struggles and battles with one or more SDOH.

Economic stability and social and community contexts are what Walker faced.

The Walker's family relocated from Hawaii down to Texas some years ago, and they had

to deal with the SDOH of economic stability. This immigration was due to Mr Walker's natural of

the job when he retired from the Navy; he works at a shipyard. Quite unfortunate, tell new

environment doesn't possess a shipyard. This factor led to Mr Walker's unemployment due to this

regrettable situation and ultimately affected all the members of the family. That event also made

Mrs Walker be the only one that fends for the family; this becomes stressful and made her stranded

in a job she's not happy with it. It made her underemployed, which in turn reduces the self-worth

of our Walker since he cannot boast of himself as being the one providing for his family. Lack of

funds also incapacitated everyone also affects their daughter as she's unable to embark on such

projects. The family has fallen apart due to stress, insecurity, lack of funds and inadequate rest.

Mrs Walker began to have a sense of entitlement that she ought to be able to enjoy herself because

he works hard to earn. In turn, Mr Walker should buckle down and get something doing. These

factors have caused a series of misunderstanding and argument between the couple. Therefore, Mr

Walker started saving up to fund the bills at home.

Community contexts also contribute to Walker's struggle; their social connection is not that

strong; families are also drifting apart. The family is unable to meet new people in the community

since Mrs Walker walks from home, and Mr Walker is unemployed. Their daughter now has low

self-esteem, he has also become so shy though she made some good friends in school. She also

wishes that her grandmother was close so she could visit her. This issue increases her struggle

since she has no family so close. An article from the New Department of Health, 2019, para.1)

discloses that The Walkers do not have a good sense of bonding, interpersonal relationship and

trust in the community, and they are not recognized. The Walker's feel rejected, unloved and

isolated, and this, in turn, affects their emotional health.

One of the tools which can be used to scrutinize the physical, mental and emotional health of an

individual is Screening Tools. These tools are developed for every age group and different stages

in life.
