INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Transparency and Public Trust

Misuse of funds is not the only thing that can cause problems with public trust. It is important for any organization that uses volunteers or takes donations to be transparent and accountable to the public. Organizations can take specific steps to assure that they are transparent and accountable in their actions. It is up to human services administrators to provide transparency and accountability for their organizations.
For this Assignment, select a human services administrator from this week’s video. Think of one example of how he or she provided transparency and accountability for his or her organization. Consider steps you as a human services administrator might take to provide transparency and accountability to the public for an organization with which you are associated or one with which you are familiar.
The assignment Transparency and Public Trust (3 pages): Holly is the administrator I chose from the video. A copy of the transcript is below to use. These are two references I would like you to use also at the bottom of the page.
• Identify the human services administrator and briefly share one example of how he or she provided transparency and accountability for his or her organization.
• Explain three steps that you, as a human services administrator, can take to provide transparency and accountability to the public for an organization with which you are associated or one with which you are familiar.
• Share an insight you had regarding any differences in the way that you might provide transparency and accountability in comparison to the human services administrator you selected from this week’s video.
HOLLY HOEY: We’re much more under a microscope than other organizations and the private sector. I think that we are kind of scrutinized a little bit more, because we deal with public trusts so much more. And I think all of us would probably agree that without public trusts, we wouldn’t exist. I mean really, without people trusting in us and our volunteers trusting in us to fulfill the mission, to be a good steward, we wouldn’t be in existence. So we raise a total of about $34 million from over 100,000 donors. So talking about public trusts, individuals are investing in United Way, giving us their confidential information, their credit card information, and saying, “I trust in you. I think United Way is the most efficient and effective way to give. Here’s my money, now I know and I trust United Way what they’re going to do with it, and they’re going to help people in need.” At United Way, every employee and every board member has to sign a code of ethics. That’s just to start out. We have to sign a code of ethics every year that basically says that we’re going to uphold the highest ethical standards with ourselves and with the community. So I think that in terms of public trust and transparency, it’s something that we hold to the highest standards and it’s something that we continuously are in front of. When we talked in the first session about partnerships and collaboration, we collaborate and partner with wonderful, wonderful organizations in this community. And at times, we do events or we do programatic work. And at times, the organization would call us and say, “Hey, we have an event going. Can we mail out the invitations to this select group of donors?” Well something at United Way that we really hold true to our hearts and that we really take pride in, is that when a donor gives us their information that is their personal information. That is information that is confidential and that we feel is served for internal purposes only. Several staff members were very uncomfortable with this. So what we had to do was, to prevent any unethical situations happening, is we had to create a policy that basically says that the information that we gain from donors is strictly for internal purposes. And that really is important, as it pertains to public trusts.
HOLLY HOEY: It’s critical. And I’ve seen organizations where they’ve had a breach of contract or trust in that organizations can fail, and because they didn’t handle it the right way. I think it’s critical that if there is an ethical situation that it’s how you respond and how transparent you are from the beginning, and how you rebuild trust with your donors. And as you were saying, that it can take years and years to build trust, and one situation for that trust to go away. It really is about integrity, trust, and building those solid relationships; being fiscally responsible to donors, to the board, to your volunteers, to be as transparent as you can, to communicate is important, the results of your work. And what you were saying is, “If you say you’re going to do it, you do it.” So I think that this conversation is really the essence and the foundation of our work. And without it, we would not be in existence.

COLLAPSE

NURS-6501-15: Advanced Pathophysiology

Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe diseases associated with a chronic inflammation of the intestines (Drugs.com, 2012). Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD) are chronic relapsing disorders thought to be caused by susceptibility genes, environmental factors, alterations in epithelial cell barrier functions, or an altered immune response to intestinal micro-flora (Huether & McCance, 2017). When an environmental factor or infectious agent alters the barrier function of the mucosal epithelium it leads to a loss of immune tolerance to normal intestinal antigens. Dendric cells become activated and trigger the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. UC begins in the rectum and may extend proximally to the entire colon (Huether & McCance, 2017). The mucosa becomes hyperemic with a dark red and velvety appearance. Small erosions lead to ulcers, abscess formation, and necrosis of the mucosa. This destruction of the mucosa and inflammation is responsible for the bleeding, cramping pain, urge to defecate, and frequent diarrhea associated with UC. CD can be difficult to differentiate from UC. CD can occur anywhere in the colon but the most common sites are the ascending and transverse colon. Projections of inflamed tissue surrounded by ulcerations give CD a cobblestone appearance (Huether & McCance, 2017). Symptoms of CD are similar to UC and depend on the location and severity of the inflammation. Clinical manifestations of IBD include diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, fatigue, abdominal cramping, and bloody stools (National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, 2016).

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

According to Hammer & McPhee (2014), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is characterized by altered bowel habits and abdominal pain in the absence of any detectable organic pathological process or structural abnormalities. An alteration between diarrhea and constipation are the characteristics of IBS. The cause of IBS is thought to be a dysfunction of how the brain and the intestines work together. The intestines can become more sensitive (visceral hyperalgesia) and change how the muscles in your bowel contract (peristaltic contractions) which leads to diarrhea, constipation, or both. The most common symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, whitish mucus in the stool, and a feeling of incomplete defecation (National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, 2016).

Treatment

Treatment for IBD involves promoting mucosal healing and reducing the inflammation. Pharmacological treatment includes corticosteroids, aminosalicylates, immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics, and biological agents. The type of pharmacological agent used is dependent on the presence of UC or CD, the severity of disease, and whether the treatment is targeted at active disease or maintenance of remission. Surgical resection of the colon may be required if other forms of therapy are unsuccessful (Arcangelo, Peterson, Wilbur, & Reinhold, 2017).

Treatment for IBS aims at treating the symptoms. Therapies include laxatives, fiber, antidiarrheals, antispasmodics, prosecretory drugs, low-dose antidepressants, visceral analgesics, and serotonin agonists and antagonists (Huether & McCance, 2017). No specific diet works for all patients so an individualized adjustment of foods is recommended to control symptoms (Drugs.com, 2018). Other therapies include stress reduction, avoidance of caffeine, prebiotics and probiotics, exercise, or cognitive-behavioral therapy (Huether & McCance, 2017).

Behaviors: Diet & Stress

Dietary changes can help reduce symptoms of IBD and IBS. Dietary recommendations include avoiding carbonated drinks, increasing fluid intake, and eating small frequent meals. A high fiber diet is advised for the treatment of IBS; however, popcorn, vegetable skins, and high-fiber foods should be avoided while symptoms of IBD are present. Keeping a food diary for both disorders is recommended to help identify troublesome foods (National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, 2016). Lastly, avoiding stress through exercise and behavior health therapies can help reduce symptoms and decrease exacerbations.
