In this assignment, you will write a case study on a person with a chronic health concern. Your paper should include each component of this course: ● Wellness, Wellbeing Concepts, and Evidence-Based Research ● Integrative Health Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Social Determinants of Health, and Cultural Humility ● Understanding chronic condition(s) ● Lifestyle Medicine: Nutrition, hydration, sleep, stress, mindfulness, mental & emotional well-being, and physical activity Interviewee Selection Guidelines: ● Choose someone that is available for up 90 minutes of interviewing time if needed ● If conducting virtually, be sure they have access to and skills in technology ● Choose someone with minimally the primary chronic condition you signed up for in Week 2 ● Find someone who is a minority and/or experiences health inequities: race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc. ● You may work with a family member or friend if they meet the above requirements. ● The person must be receiving some kind of health care intervention currently. ● Be sure to gain consent for them to be interviewed for an academic project- knowing their identity will remain confidential. ● Record the session. At the beginning of the recording, be sure to gain recorded permission from the interviewee to be recorded so the consent is captured. Recommended Timeline: The final paper is due at the end of week seven of this course. It is recommended that you have a chronic condition you are interested in and want to learn more about. You will post this on the Canvas site. We don’t want repeats, so first, to sign up for a condition get to use that one. Then, you should have a person with that chronic condition identified and agreed to be interviewed by the end of week 3. This will give you time to plan your outreach, determine how the interview will be conducted, and identify the person. It’s recommended that the interview occurs during week four or five after foundational learning of the course has been completed, but give yourself 2 weeks to write the paper. Interview process: Coordinate with your volunteer the time and date for the interview. We recommend holding the interview virtually so that it can be most easily recorded. Free Zoom accounts will only allow for a 40-minute. meeting. Teams is not time-limited. Interviews are likely to take 60-90 min. so if you do Zoom you may have to do 2 sequential calls. Recordings will be for your process but will not be submitted to the faculty. You will use them to assist you in writing your final paper in weeks 6-7. Writing Standards: Paper must be formatted using APA standards, 7th edition.

Take a deep dive into the condition. Using both information gained in the interview and scholarly references to explain the condition further. Many people may have multiple chronic conditions. Choose one or two that interest you the most or are the biggest challenge for the client. Consider the following questions: ● What is it? ● Who does it typically impact? ● How is it diagnosed? ● What are the mental and physical symptoms and implications? ● What is it like to live with this condition daily and long-term? ● What lifestyle considerations are most relevant to onset? ● How did this condition first manifest? What was it like to receive the diagnosis? ● How has this disease impacted this client’s life? Consider the past, present, and future. ● What co-morbidities or other diagnoses are present (related or otherwise)? ● What is the impact of this person’s life on the condition (SDOH)? Consider current (SDOH), past (ACEs, impact of trauma) ● How does this person wish to be viewed as living with this condition in public? Living with this chronic disease: Management and outcome ● What has this person’s experience with healthcare teams been surrounding this condition? ● Is their healthcare team limited to only conventional medical care, or have they engaged services from complementary providers and approaches? and if so, why? ● What are positive experiences? What have been negative or challenging experiences? ● When do they feel most comfortable, seen, heard, understood, and/or motivated in healthcare settings? ● Describe this person’s healthcare team – what is the health circle around the patient? This may include helping friends and family, primary care, specialists, spiritual guidance, CIH providers, etc. ● To what degree does this person experience a sense of self-efficacy? List the ways this person actively engages in health creation and resilience building. ● How are they treating the condition? ● What lifestyle approaches are they currently using to support the condition? ● What is the client’s outlook for the future? What are they curious about exploring and changing? How might health coaching support this outlook? Section 3: Recommendations and Health and Wellness Coach Applications Using what you have learned in the course and the interview, describe, using references, how you would approach working with this client. What knowledge would you bring in? What skills? Based on lifestyle approaches, medical adherence, and supporting what the person is already doing, what would you recommend to support the person in the next steps in living with their chronic condition? What do they need from an approach that might be missing? Be careful to be cognizant of your scope of practice as a Health Coach, allowing this knowledge to inform your coaching but not to change the core of your work with a client.
