EDITOR’S EYE

 

Dear Social Work Colleagues,

 

Welcome to Issue #94 of the Social Work E-News. This e-mail newsletter is brought to you by the publisher of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine, SocialWorker.com, SocialWorkJobBank.com, and other social work publications.

 

Welcome back to school, social work students!

 

This month is filled with celebrations and observances!  One that is especially relevant to social workers is Jane Addams’ birthday, which was September 6.  Also this month, we have Childhood Cancer Month, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and Reye’s Syndrome Awareness Month.  This week (September 7-13) is National Suicide Prevention Week, and September 21 is World Alzheimer’s Day.  This is not an exhaustive list, but a representative list of some of the observances this month.

 

I just returned from a 3-day family get-together/reunion, visiting with family members from age one through 87.  These are always good times to reflect on times gone by and those yet to come.  The National Kidney Disease Education Program has put together a kit for just such occasions for African American families, to help them to discuss some important health issues.  See the news and resources section of this newsletter for an article on this program.

 

The Summer issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER is available now!  Go to http://www.socialworker.com to read the articles from this issue in Web format. You can also download this issue (and others) of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER magazine in PDF format FREE at http://www.socialworker.com/home/component/remository/Download/TheNewSocialWorkerMagazine/TheNewSocialWorkerVol.15No.3(Summer2008)/

ARTICLE EXCERPT

 

Insights on Grace From the South Pacific

By Susan Lanae Burkholder, MSW

 

(Editor’s Note: This article is excerpted from the Summer 2008 issue of THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER.  See our Web site to read the full article.)

 

Peering through the palm fronds, I spied on Hefu as he tottered sideways on one foot like Pooh Bear. In his sixties, Hefu had decided to cease the day’s opportunity and catch a butterfly with his sulu, the traditional Fijian wrap-around skirt. As I lingered in the moment with him, my heart was steeped in his capacity for sincerity.


Previously, I had lived in Fiji for half a year in 2005 and half a year in 2006. During those times, I was wooed by the people, topography, and culture of this exotic South Pacific island nation. Once in graduate school, I managed to finagle the opportunity for an independent study in Fiji during a summer session. While academically I was providing court advocacy, conducting interviews, and gathering information on Fiji’s international adoption policies and laws, personally I was saturating myself in quality time spent with friends and the joys of communal living. I would have never witnessed Hefu’s mid-day rendezvous had I been isolated in my own home or exercising independence from the workings of daily village life.  

Hefu never knew he had been under surveillance, and later that day I wrote this in my journal:

One reason it’s so easy to love [the people of Fiji] is because they don’t seem to practice skepticism. [A friend] mentioned earlier that they make great party guests because they’re easily amused, they entertain themselves if there’s dead space, and they have a unique willingness when it comes to cleaning up afterwards. A huge determining factor in this is that, whether 10 or 60, their hearts are young. I watched Hefu, a grown man, pounce around after a butterfly today—there was no reserve, no shame, no insecurity; just simplicity and raw sincerity. Skepticism says, “I’m too good for that; too cool; too old; too afraid I’ll look like an idiot in someone else’s eyes.” To be genuine is so refreshing and beautiful! Make any suggestion to [Fijians] and their response is typically one of two things, if not both: laughter and an attitude of “okay—let’s try this” with 100% personal investment. These people know what it is to live in the moment. These people know what it is to be alive!

Increase in Youth Suicide Rate Following Decade-Long Decline May Reflect Emerging Health Crisis
Largest single-year increase in pediatric suicide rate cause for concern

A sudden and dramatic increase in pediatric suicides may reflect an emerging trend rather than a single-year anomaly. That's the conclusion of new suicide research, conducted at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital and published in the September 3rd issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which looked at pediatric suicide trends over a 10-year period.

Following a decade of steady decline, the suicide rate among U.S. youth younger than 20 years of age increased by 18 percent from 2003-2004 – the largest single-year change in the pediatric suicide rate over the past 15 years. Although worrisome, the one-year spike observed in 2003-2004 does not necessarily reflect a changing trend. Therefore, researchers examined national data on youth suicide from 1996-2005 to determine whether the increase persisted from 2004-2005, the latest year for which data are available.

Researchers estimated the trend in suicide rates from 1996-2003 using log-linear regression. Using that trend line, they estimated the expected suicide rates in 2004 and 2005 and compared the expected number of deaths to the actual observed number of deaths. Researchers found that although the overall observed rate of suicide among 10 to 19 year olds decreased by about 5 percent between 2004 and 2005 (the year following the spike), both the 2004 and 2005 rates were still significantly greater than the expected rates, based on the 1996-2003 trend.

"The fact that this significant increase in pediatric suicides continued into 2005 implies that the alarming spike witnessed from 2003-2004 was more than just a single-year anomaly," said Jeff Bridge, PhD, lead author and a principal investigator in The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "We now need to consider the possibility that the increase is an indicator of an emerging public health crisis."

To understand the possible causes behind the increase in youth suicides between 2003 and 2005, researchers say additional studies must be conducted.

"Identifying the risk factors associated with pediatric suicide is an important next step," said Joel Greenhouse, PhD, Professor of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University and a co-author of the study.

Several factors that should be considered as possible contributors to the increase in youth suicides include the influence of Internet social networks, increases in suicide among U.S. troops, and higher rates of untreated depression in the wake of recent "black box" warnings on antidepressants – a possible unintended consequence of the medication warnings required by the Federal Drug Administration in 2004. Researchers stress that, whatever the explanation, effective interventions to reduce pediatric suicides must be addressed nationally.

Help Patients With Diabetes
and Hypertension Make The Kidney Connection
 
The National Kidney Disease Education
Program’s (NKDEP) African-American Family Reunion Initiative is aimed
at helping families make the connection between diabetes, hypertension, and
kidney disease. 
 
Kidney disease is a growing epidemic,
affecting about 20 million Americans. African Americans are
disproportionately affected by kidney failure, due in large part to the
prevalence of hypertension and diabetes—the two leading causes of
kidney failure—within this population.
 
Many people know they have diabetes or
high blood pressure, but they may not know that these conditions increase
their risk for kidney disease. Because diabetes and high blood pressure
often run in families, family reunions are opportunities to discuss kidney
disease risk factors, testing, and treatment. 
 
NKDEP’s free Family Reunion Health
Guide contains everything families need to share important kidney health
information, including fact sheets about kidney disease, diabetes, and high
blood pressure. It also outlines three sample approaches families can use
to communicate the information, including: presenting a 15-minute Make The
Kidney Connection health overview, conducting one-on-one discussions with
family members at risk, and distributing kidney disease information to
attendees. Families can use one or more of these approaches, or create
their own.
 
Call 1-866-4 KIDNEY or visit www.nkdep.nih.gov/familyreunion
to get copies of the free Family Reunion Health Guide for your office or
waiting room. Encourage your patients to Make Health a “Family
Reunion” Affair.

Program is an initiative of the National Institute of Diabetes and

Power Source Parenting Now Available to Address Emotional and
Social Challenges Facing At-Risk Teen
Parents
 
A new book released by the Lionheart
Foundation, Power Source Parenting:
Growing Up Strong and Raising Healthy Kids, is a hands-on parenting
guide to address the social and emotional issues of high-risk teen parents.
It is currently being piloted in youth development centers and parenting
classes in Massachusetts and distributed free of
charge to professionals across the country who serve young parents.

 
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, the number of teenagers having babies in the
U.S. rose last year for the
first time in 14 years. Experts believe the rise may point to a failure in
connecting with very hard to reach adolescents whose at-risk behaviors
include unprotected sex and a misguided desire to have babies.  The book is written to interrupt
intergenerational patterns of abuse, neglect, and ineffective parenting and
to offer young parents a chance to give their children the love and support
they need.
 
Free copies of Power Source Parenting are
available to professionals who are working with pregnant or at-risk teen
parents in a counseling capacity.  For more information, see:  http://www.lionheart.org/parenting/index.html
