Warning Signs for Five Concepts of Compassion Fatigue Physical Manifestations Compassion fatigue can manifest itself through physical symptoms. Some signs associated with compassion fatigue are weariness, loss of strength, reduced output, diminished performance, loss of endurance, and increased physical complaints such as gastrointestinal complaints, frequent headaches, back pains, hypertension, and insomnia (Coetzee & Klopper, 2010). Illness can lead to increase in sick calls that lead to increase in the work loads of other nurses, which then affects the safety and quality of care the patients receive. Emotional Manifestations Compassion fatigue can also manifest itself through emotional disturbances. Those suffering
2.1. For example: The person I’m care for wishes to make a cup of coffee by himself, but I’m afraid he may spill boiling water and scald himself. Forbidding him to do it would be to deny him the right to free action, letting him do it may put him in danger. Also the resident may wish to feed himself independently, but he can hurt himself with the cutlery, or spill the food and not feeding himself properly. Feeding him would affet his dignity as self-sufficient individual, but not helping him would be neglecting his basic needs.
‘Dieting often fails because people are trying to go against their biological drive to eat’. Discuss explanations for the success and failure of dieting. Dieting is increasingly popular as people try to fit into the thin western ideal of beauty. Theories for the failure of dieting include the restraint theory, while it has been suggested that the key to success is the amount of attention we give to the detail of our food. This ideology is inevitably influenced by interplay of cognitive, biological and external factors.
I will devise a hypnoanalysis treatment plan for them, with an attached screed. I will explain the benefits and any ethical issues that may arise from treatment. I will then construct a treatment plan and the outcome I would expect from this and if there would be any need to refer the patient on. The case study is as follows: Case study My client is a 36 year old mother of two children. She has a younger brother who she cares very much for.
This would distract out attention from the pain and would make us feel good. The association in the subconscious is set and the treat becomes the focus of the reduction of pain. When we are older, when things go wrong in a relationship people will revert back to this and eat the sweet things to make them feel better and is comfort. Eating to get attention and gain authority. For some people size makes them feel more important and powerful.
They need to be educated to make use of them and encouraged to abandon apathetic attitudes and fixed habits.’ Too much disengagement would lead to ‘stagnation’ and a loss of mental and physical skills. Elderly people need to stay somewhat engaged in social activity to avoid becoming completely isolated from society (Aldworth, Billingham and Connor, 2010). In this assignment I have discussed about ageing explaining two theories (Disengagement & activity theory) I will explain what these theories are. References Aldworth, C., Billingham, M. and Connor, J. (2010).
Self- Determination Luz Marks PSYC3520 - Intro to Social Psychology Social Psychological Theory Capella University January 2014 Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the self-determination theory. Self Determination is the theory that people need to feel at least some degree of autonomy and internal motivation (Baumeister, Bushman, 2014). I will examine two articles, “Motivational “spill-over” during weight control: Increased self-determination and exercise intrinsic motivation predict eating self-regulation”, and “Teacher motivational strategies and student self-determination in physical education”. Both of these articles argue about how self-determination can lead to a healthier lifestyle, in adults and children. The articles acknowledge that by having someone or something as a motivation it will lead to self-determination.
1.3 DESCRIBE WAYS TO RESOLVE ANY DIFFICULTIES OR DILEMMAS ABOUT THE CHOICE OF FOOD AND DRINK If the individual selects a food to consume that is not suitable as detailed in their plan of care, you should try to offer suitable alternatives. For example : If the individual has been recommended a low fat diet by their doctor but the individual insists they want to eat “junk food” it is your role to advise the individual of the content of the food and the consequences of eating it. The individual is then able to make an “informed decision” of whether they still wish to consume the meal. It is their right to choose to eat their preferred food. You should report the matter immediately and follow your organisations policies and procedures regarding reporting the matter e.g.
To combat rising rates of obesity a more multidimensional approach looking at individual and socio-cultural dynamics is required (Thomas et al., 2008). The following four psychological reviews attempt to demonstrate and support the hypothesis. Weight Stigma: Psychological and Social Consequences In an Epidemiology review article by Puhl and Heuer (2009), the psychological and physical health consequences of weight bias were examined. The article reviewed current research on the moderating effect of stigmatization on psychological and physical well being. Whilst, as mentioned in the review, most research in this area is still in the emergent stage the research reviewed indicated that weight stigmatization is a potential mediator in the link between obesity and depression, low self-esteem, body image dissatisfaction, and negative consequences pertaining to physical health.
Retrieved from EBSCOhost. Annotated Bibliography: Stress Management In this article, the writers tried to identify stress in Nurse Practitioner (NP) students. Using research, they found that the appropriate time management skills and optimum structure can create a better final year for students and produce less stress. They elaborated on the two specific areas or sources of stress in students’ lives. These are the clinical sources of stress and the classroom sources of stress.
