Package of interventions for rehabilitation. Module 2. Musculoskeletal conditions


Book Description

The Package of Interventions for Rehabilitation (PIR) is a resource that provides relevant information on essential interventions for rehabilitation and related resources (material, human and time) required for the delivery of the interventions. The PIR is available for 20 health conditions amenable to rehabilitation that are organized in seven disease area-specific modules (musculoskeletal conditions, neurological conditions, cardiopulmonary conditions, neurodevelopmental conditions, sensory impairments, cancer, and mental health). The interventions included in the PIR are relevant to Universal Health Coverage. The PIR provides countries with information relevant for the planning, budgeting, and implementation of rehabilitation in their health systems. While Ministries of Health are the main target audience, the information available with the PIR is also useful for service planners and providers, researchers, and academics.






















Rehabilitation in health financing


Book Description

Health financing is a core pillar of health systems and encompasses the three functions of how revenues for health are collected, pooled and paid out to providers of health care services. It can be leveraged to pursue key universal health coverage goals of enhancing access, ensuring quality and financial protection against catastrophic or impoverishing out-of-pocket expenditure. But knowledge on how health financing practices can be harnessed to promote the delivery of rehabilitation services is limited. This document is the first WHO resource on health financing for rehabilitation. It considers current practices for financing rehabilitation services, frames major challenges and opportunities, and offers guidance to decision-makers engaged in strengthening rehabilitation within health systems.




The SAFER-R Model


Book Description

Psychological Crisis Intervention: The SAFER-R Model is designed to provide the reader with a simple set of guidelines for the provision of psychological first aid (PFA). The model of psychological first aid (PFA) for individuals presented in this volume is the SAFER-R model developed by the authors. Arguably it is the most widely used tactical model of crisis intervention in the world with roughly 1 million individuals trained in its operational and derivative guidelines. This model of PFA is not a therapy model nor a substitute for therapy. Rather it is designed to help crisis interventionists stabile and mitigate acute crisis reactions in individuals, as opposed to groups. Guidelines for triage and referrals are also provided. Before plunging into the step-by-step guidelines, a brief history and terminological framework is provided. Lastly, recommendations for addressing specific psychological challenges (suicidal ideation, resistance to seeking professional psychological support, and depression) are provided.
