Explain The Five Dimensions Of External Context
The five dimensions of external context within families who have no control and influence how families react to stressors are time in history, macroeconomics, human development, heredity and culture. The five dimensions of external context is the restraint in which the family must manage stress. The external context is the environment in which the family is embedded. An example of this would be a catastrophe event caused by nature. The external context is when the family has no control. It is a limit of time and place.
The article that I had read was on the Japan earthquake of April 20th 2016. The death toll has risen and aftershocks continued to spread through Japan almost one week after the first of two earthquakes struck the southwestern
Kyushu island. This is external context. These families must manage the stress that comes with an earthquake. Their displacement, loss of a loved, loss of their house. The devastation that they must now recover from. These families have no control of what happened to them. It was just sad they were their when it did. This event would affect those in the United States because there are many families that have loved ones that are stationed in Japan. I know a family personally whose son is stationed there and is constantly threatened by these earthquakes.
These effects tend to range from very minor emotional distress to clinically diagnosable psychological effects. Severe forms of distress, especially anxiety and depression can cause psychological conditions more so especially if there were already havr an illness. The impact of the earthquakes impact the immediate families or close friends. It is very common and understandable that many people may experience distress, including anxiety, distressing memories, sleep disturbance, nightmares, and restlessness in the first weeks after an earthquake.
Professionals and practitioners can help families cope with these external contexts by being the primary role of population health; both physically, emotionally and offer financial help guidance. In earthquakes to give emergency medical services and help control potential communicable infections outbreak after the earthquakes. Providing provision of adequate food, water, and shelter should especially help people in vulnerable age groups and those with pre-existing diseases. In this critical situation, the focus should be in re-establishing and improving the delivery of health care in the affected areas.
