Although both therapy forms reduced the phobia, SIT also inoculated patients from future phobias/stressors, proving it to be the more effective method by dealing with current and long-term future stressors. Additionally, Sheehy and Horan (2004) backed up SIT too by studying the effect of it on first
Although epoetin alfa has helped with end stage renal disease (ESRD) anemia significantly, there continue to be patients with ESRD who have anemia despite the use of epoetin alfa. This paper will address the administration of ascorbic acid and its effectiveness in increasing hemoglobin results in patients who are not responding to epoetin alfa use alone and will also discuss the adverse effects found in the addition of ascorbic acid. This paper will also summarize the research study used to obtain the information and discuss its significance in nursing. Background of Study The questions the researcher asked when researching this topic were. 1.
Education is important with this form of treatment so clients can recognize how different factors affect the course of the disease and what they can do to manage these factors (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Family therapy is also a means of treatment where family members as well as the client see a mental health provider to find solutions and ways to deal with the disorder. Family involvement provides structure and could increase adherence to treatment leading to delays or reductions in relapses (Steinkuller and Rheineck 342). Interpersonal and social rhythm therapy involves stabilizing social and circadian rhythms based on the hypotheses that unstable daily routines result in increased bipolar episodes in individuals prone to them (Steinkuller and Rheineck 349). Social rhythm therapy recognizes the need for regular sleep/wake cycles, regulation of meals, exercise, sleep and plans for keeping rhythms stable when disruptions occur.
Work Based Learning Project NURB 275. The following piece of work adheres to the Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC) (2008) Code of Conduct, with either fictitious names being used or omitted to protect confidentiality. Abstract This report will discuss the implementation of a change related to a cardiovascular ward. The change comes in the form of an information leaflet to raise awareness to the patient and their family about the importance of maintaining a good well balanced nutritional intake and how this affects wound healing. There is evidence to suggest that giving clients written information helps to reduce anxiety and therefore improve healing, give empowerment and increase satisfaction (Little et al, 2004)).
Research support comes from Elkin, who found that when compared to CBT, PIT is just as effective at treating depression. This is a strength because PIT provides an alternative treatment to CBT, that is just as effective. We must therefore be more trusting of the PIT therapy for depression as it provides another treatment for people who struggled with CBT that is just as effective. Meaning that more people can have their symptoms improved, in theory. However, a weakness of Elkins findings is that just because PIT is as effective of CBT, does it make it an effective treatment?
This theory would allow service users and health care professionals to communicate more easily and effectively. For example, a nurse would be unable to give effective advice and comfort to a patient until she was able to know what the service user was feeling. From what the service user originally said, by analyzing her behaviour and words the nurse is able to choose the most appropriate way to respond which would benefit the service user the most. This would be done by following the stages of the communication cycle. the service user will ‘think of an idea’ or something they would like to say, code the message and send it by a means of communication to the receiving individual, the nurse, who will then decode the message think about what was said and from that respond in a way in which to answer or help the service user, i.e.
People with Alzheimer’s disease lose nerve cells which use this chemical. The other types of medication are generally used in line with anti dementia drugs due to side affects. Commonly used medications can affect people with dementia in positive and negative ways. Positive ways in which it can affect someone are, a brighter mood, it may give them the ability to perform activities such as going shopping or to social functions. It may offer reduced memory loss and a reduction in hallucinations.
The word “stress” is often instantly regarded as something very negative. When people see this particular word, they often associate it with something destructive that only causes anxiety and health problems. Contrary to popular belief, however, stress can actually be very beneficial. This good stress can provide the focus needed for higher performance in rigorous conditions. The nature of stress is very much similar to that of pressure.
Indeed, I believe that these alternative solutions can help reduce the overprescribing of ADHD medications in our country. With the implementation on standardized procedure, physicians can effectively diagnose ADHD patients. By setting limitation on the medication can make a tremendous impact on medication abuser. Additionally, the board exams (I think they already had board exam) or an extra education on child behavioral class as requirements to a teaching field can ultimately resolve the
If a patient arrived who had different food requirements such as a different textured diet or religious/ cultural beliefs this type of information would need to be passed on. Another example of why people communicate is to inform staff who is most at risk, who has a DNR form and any infections to be aware of at hand over at the start of the shift. Another good example of why people communicate is when we are looking after patients, they need to express their feelings like if they are in pain or uncomfortable. 1.2 Effective communication affects all aspects in the work place because as workers it allows for continuity of care for the patients as well as building up professional relationships with them. The way staff communicate with each other effects communication in the work place for example if a worker had a lack of passion for their job they were moaning all the time, other members of staff might avoid that particular person.
