Background It is paramount for a social worker to take account of the needs of vulnerable populations. Particularly, the factors that are likely to pose a threat to the identified populations’ well-being must be identified and managed appropriately so that the target populations could develop efficient behaviors and coping mechanisms for handling threatening scenarios. Particularly, the needs of African American communities require close attention because of the socioeconomic concerns faced by its members and the emotional distress that they experience. The application of a biopsychological assessment may serve as the tool for identifying the current needs of the patient and providing her with the therapy and opportunities for developing coping mechanisms that will assist her in the future and help avoid developing psychological issues such as depression. Patient The focus on the cultural specifics of the patient particularly, on the issues faced by the representatives of the African American community, has shown that the patient is in dire need of reconsidering her current approach toward building relationships with her relatives, as well as changing her current work and sleeping at least 8 hours a day. The changes listed above may not be sufficient for the patient to fully recover, yet they will become the foundation for a gradual improvement in the patient’s life and health status. The importance of the identified change concerns primarily enabling the patient to become more independent in the management of their health issues, including their early identification, avoidance of the threats that may lead to the aggravation of their health condition, etc. The patient is a 30-year-old African American female who has been working in the Navy and experiencing significant stress due to the pressure from her employee and family members. Furthermore, the patient has not been getting enough sleep over a significant amount of time, which has led to a steep rise in her distress levels. The strain under which she has been due to the unreasonably high expectations of her family that considers her a “golden child” should be viewed as the primary stress factor, whereas the emotional challenges that she has been having at her workplace can be deemed as the second most important factor. The fact that some of her family members are in prison and are going to live with her after their release should also be considered an important piece of information contributing to the increase in the patient’s stress levels and the overall emotional exhaustion. Theory When considering the current situation in which the patient has found herself, one must mention the Structural Family Theory (SFT). By definition, the identified theoretical framework implies determining one’s growth as an adult yet remaining a member of the family. Therefore, it allows measuring the ability of an individual to identify the factors and symptoms that may signal about health issues, as well as locate the available sources of assistance and information (Sewpaul, 2014). Evaluating the patient’s situation, from the SFT perspective, one must clarify that the former has a very vague idea of self-care and is, therefore, suffering from a severe self-care deficit. Indeed, the patient’s inability to speak to others, listen to herself, and, therefore, isolate the factors that contrib
