Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
Published in Ken Addley, MCQs, MEQs and OSPEs in Occupational Medicine, 2023
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, which one of the following is correct?
Emotional Wellness and Stress Resilience

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is also relevant to this discussion given the connection between basic life resources as precursors to developing strong psychological and emotional wellness (Mathes, 1981). When basic biological and physiological needs (e.g. eating, cleansing, water, sleep, etc.) are not met in a person’s life, those deficiencies may impact the ability and motivation of that person to grow and develop in other more advanced stages (e.g. safety, self-esteem, belonging, cognitive, and self-actualization). This means that those individuals lacking fundamental daily life resources may be predisposed to experiencing greater threats to emotional wellness, and possibly less stress resilience, than those who have those basic life needs fulfilled. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs serves as a strong example of the importance of basic, psychological, and self-fulfillment needs in achieving holistic well-being.
Curiosity-coaching for learning: a different state to learn from

In order to fulfil the maximum potential for personal and professional learning certain criteria have to be met. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs describes how in order to move to this level, lower level needs such as security and comfort must first be partially satisfied.@@@@2 Csikszentimihalyi described the sensation of optimal experience or flow where there is a balance between the challenges perceived in a given situation and the skills a person brings to it.@@@@3 It is an experience often described as the ‘merging of activity and awareness’, in which there is a lack of self-awareness, time becomes distorted and there is a transcendence of self. ‘Flow’ is intrinsically rewarding. It is an enjoyable experience that people seek to replicate, and that improves learning and performance
Determinants of self-rated health among elderly patients with hypertension: a cross-sectional analysis based on the Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey

Economic status was another factor influencing SRH among elderly hypertensive patients in the study. Respondents with better economic status had better SRH, which may be related to the fact that people with better economic status can receive more professional care and have access to more channels to get health information to protect their own health. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, individuals consider their quality of life and basic family functions before their health, only after their physiological needs are met (37). For the elderly with poor economic conditions, most of them may be engaged in manual labor. Overwork can easily lead to illness and affect their physical health; in addition, for people with limited economic conditions, when they are ill, their health behavior and opportunities for medical treatment are greatly reduced, thus affecting their self-assessed health. Therefore, communities or health centers should allocate medical resources reasonably, strengthen step-wise diagnosis and treatment, and provide better medical care for elderly hypertensive patients. The government should strengthen financial security and increase social welfare toward ensuring the basic living needs of elderly hypertensive patients.
No Soy De Aquí, Ni Soy De Allá: Second-Generation Latinx Youth Belonging Everywhere and Nowhere

Belonging is often a feeling, but somewhat challenging to define. The following are several interpretations of general belonging. Antonsich (2010) understands belonging as “a personal, intimate, feeling of being ‘at home’ in a place (place-belongingness) and belonging as a discursive resource which constructs, claims, justifies or resists forms of socio-spatial inclusion/exclusion (politics of belonging)” (p. 645). Antonshich explores the complexity of the interplays of systems, from feeling “home” to issues of law, culture, economics, and relationships. Baumeister and Leary (1995) approached defining belonging and belongingness through Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and proposed that “a need to belong, that is, a need to form and maintain at least a minimum quantity of interpersonal relationships, is innately prepared (and hence nearly universal) among human beings’’ (p. 499).

Across the VA, social workers embedded in primary care teams provide care coordination, education, case management, and participate in quality improvement efforts to identify and advocate for needed resources and services. Social workers embedded in primary care settings serve as integral members of the care team and address social determinants of health, including housing, financial concerns, access to care, psychological status, functional need, and social support deficits experienced by Veterans, their families, and caregivers. Social workers provide care coordination, mental health support, education, and participate in quality improvement efforts to identify and advocate for needed resources and services. Through comprehensive assessment, barriers to care such as lack of transportation, financial concerns, inadequate housing, or inability to complete activities of daily living may be identified. The COVID-19 pandemic required social workers to shift the focus of their work to their patients’ most fundamental needs in the bottom two tiers of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid: physiological needs and safety and security needs (Maslow, 1943). Additionally, a national directive from VA leadership halted all non-essential in-person clinical visits. Social workers in PACT moved from a model driven by walk-in or appointments that were previously scheduled as face-to-face visits and telephone follow-up to a model almost entirely consisting of phone visits.
