Case Study

Madam Aishah Hassan, a 59-year-old married woman, who works as a fulltime food stall assistant at a neighbourhood hawker centre. She lives with her 65-year-old husband in a tworoom flexi HDB flat and has no children. Her household income is modest, and her work involves long hours with limited rest breaks.

Madam Aishah typically works 10-12 hours a day, six days a week, starting early in the morning. Her job requires prolonged standing, repetitive movements and exposure to oily food. Due to her work schedule, she often skips meals or eats irregularly, relying on leftover food from the stall or quick meals from nearby food outlets.

She reports feeling tired most days and finds it difficult to engage in regular physical activity. After work, she usually spends time resting at home or watching television. Household chores make up most of her physical movement outside of work. Social interactions are mainly limited to brief conversations with customers, co-workers and her husband.

Madam Aishah has been overweight for several years and was previously advised by her doctor to improve her diet and physical activity levels. She does not smoke but reports frequent consumption of sweetened beverages and enjoys desserts daily, which she finds comforting during work breaks.

During a recent visit to the polyclinic for persistent fatigue and shortness of breath, she was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension and Hyperlipidaemia.

She has been started on long-term medications and scheduled for regular follow-up appointments. However, Madam Aishah has expressed ongoing challenges in managing her condition effectively. She finds it difficult to maintain consistent medication adherence, particularly with her irregular work hours, and struggles to fully understand and apply the dietary recommendations provided to her. In addition, her demanding work schedule limits her ability to attend regular follow-up appointments, and concerns about out-of-pocket healthcare costs have led her to miss or default some scheduled medical reviews

As a Care Coordinator at the polyclinic, your role is to ensure she receives routine check-ups and appropriate management to help manage her chronic conditions effectively.

Questions:

1a. Choose ONE of Madam Aishah’s chronic conditions and:

• Describe the disease process clearly.
• Identify ONE relevant diagnostic assessment used to evaluate the condition Discuss FOUR major risk factors that contribute to its development.

(8 marks)

1b. Based on the chronic disease chosen in Q1a:

• Propose FIVE realistic goals tailored to manage the condition.
• For each goal, suggest TWO appropriate interventions that address Madam Aishah’s specific needs and constraints.
• For each set of interventions, briefly discuss ONE possible complication that may arise if the condition is not adequately managed and how the proposed interventions help to reduce the risk of this complication.

(25 marks)

1c. Recommend FOUR subsidies and/or schemes that could help Madam Aishah manage her chronic conditions more effectively. For each recommendation:

• Evaluate the accessibility and practical implementation of each scheme for someone in Madam Aishah’s situation, including potential barriers she might face in accessing these services.

(12 marks)
