These issues are diverse and can include the following:
- Poor or adverse coping strategies
- Inability to accept the accident, injury or condition
- Treatment or diagnostic issues
- Incorrectly appraised beliefs or understanding of the injury or condition
- Intrinsic employment related issues
- Low confidence and self esteem
- Anxiety and depression
- Other psychological problems
The Wellbeing screening is performed at the earliest possible stage and is aimed at identifying and preventing these conditions evolving. Every case has a Wellbeing rating which determines the appropriate action which could be to schedule regular reviews or refer to a Medicess Psychologist.
The screening is not designed to incite Psychological problems, rather identify barriers in-order to enhance the rehabilitative process or identify the requirement for monitoring or early psychological intervention and support.
All of our staff, irrespective of profession, are trained to recognise risk factors. We are therefore assured to provide early intervention or prevent the progression of psychological conditions commonly associated with injury and illness. |
