Family Case Study

The COVID pandemic has made a more rigorous comeback in 2021 with severely impactful second waves in many countries especially India. In contrast to the previous year, in the second wave the younger population and entire families have been affected at a given time. Medical management by the family physician involves not only individual treatment and monitoring, but also guiding the family as a whole on many related aspects. COVID family care is one of the cornerstones of the pandemic, and can present with unique challenges, differential symptomatology and clinical course, and multifaceted problems to the physician. Apart from treating the disease itself, the physician’s expanded role also involves advising the family on holistic health and well-being, isolation and household hygiene, available support services, along with stress management and psychological counseling. Sharing of insights and learnings from such situations can add value towards a more effective approach to COVID family care.

Divorce is the end of a marriage. Divorce is a break in the relationship between husband and wife. Every married couple must have their ways to prevent a divorce from happening. Divorce is always based on quarrels between husband and wife. This is the reason that a dispute between husband and wife occurs because one of the parties wants a divorce, therefore the family relationship is not harmonious. Offspring who are not present in the household is very important, apart from being the successor of the heir, children are also the goal of a harmonious household, especially if certain tribes or customs require an offspring to be the successor of the family name. In this case, the applicant and the defendant both did not want to adopt a child, so they decided to divorce at Religious Court Medan

Abstract The research examined the mental health and well-being of a sample of empty-nesters in Jinan City, Shandong Province. An in-depth individual interview approach, with document analysis and participant observation was performed on three types of interviewees (N = 33) recruited via purposive sampling. The empty-nesters faced many unique problems, especially a sense of being disjointed from the family, community and society. Influencing factors included Chinese traditional filial piety culture, lagging implementation of relevant policies and development of community ageing services, as well as the loss of productive roles for the empty nesters. Implications for social work services are identified.

Health And Well Being

Food deserts, areas in which it is difficult to obtain affordable, nutritious food, are especially problematic in low-income neighbourhoods. One model for addressing food hardship and unemployment issues within low-income food deserts is a cooperative grocery store. Through the cooperative model, the grocery store can serve as a cornerstone to address socio-economic marginalisation of low-income neighbourhoods and improve the health and well-being of its residents. It is important for communities and policymakers to be able to assess the effectiveness of these types of endeavours beyond traditional economic factors such as profitability. This article uses a systems engineering approach to develop a framework for measuring the holistic impact of a cooperative grocery store on community health and well-being. This framework encompasses values that characterise the relationship between food retail, economic viability and social equality. We develop a dashboard to display the key metrics for measuring the economic, social and environmental indicators that reflect a grocery store’s social impact. We demonstrate the usefulness of the framework through a case study of a full-service cooperative grocery store that is planned within the city of Dayton, OH.
