Healing Hearts and Minds offers hope for people living with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) by providing comprehensive information, self-care guides, coping skills and strategies to thrive as well as giving support for loved ones and health care providers. Thanks to remarkable medical advancements in the past 50 years, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but many may face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity throughout their entire lives. While much attention has rightly been focused on the medical needs of these children, very little has been given to the psychosocial impacts of living with a chronic medical condition - until now.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Gesundheit - Pflegewissenschaft - Akutpflege, Note: 1, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Arbeit wird davon ausgegangen, dass bei dem Krankheitsbild der bipolar affektiven Störung vermehrt Rückfälle auftreten, diese jedoch durch psychoedukative Interventionen des Pflegepersonals vermindert bzw. vermieden werden können.Hierzu wurden folgende zwei Fragestellungen gestellt: ¿Welche Inhalte im Rahmen der Psychoedukation sind erforderlich, um Menschen mit einer bipolaren Störung im stationären psychiatrischen Setting zu Expert/innen ihrer Krankheit zu machen?¿ und ¿Wie kann das Pflegepersonal die Betroffenen zum Selbstmanagement schulen, um die Basis für eine Stabilisierung zu ermöglichen und die Vermeidung von Rückfällen zu erreichen?¿ Um die Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, wurde eine umfassende Literaturrecherche durchgeführt.In dieser Arbeit wird zuerst das Krankheitsbild der bipolar affektiven Störung beschrieben und dabei gleichzeitig auf das Erleben der Betroffenen und deren Gefühlswelt eingegangen. Der Begriff ¿Psychoedukation¿ wird definiert und die Relevanz der Psychoedukation in Bezug auf die bipolar affektive Störung erläutert. Danach werden die wichtigsten Themengebiete, welche zur Beantwortung der Fragestellungen dienen, vorgestellt und in den folgenden einzelnen Kapiteln wird näher darauf eingegangen und beschrieben, wie Pflegepersonen diese den Betroffenen übermitteln können. Im Anhang sind hierzu einige Hilfsmittel zu finden. Im Anschluss werden jeweils mögliche Pflegeziele angeführt, welche in der Pflegeplanung eines/r Patienten/in mit bipolar affektiver Störung verwendet werden können, um den Pflegeprozess zu sichern.

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject Psychology - Consulting, Therapy, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: This research evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of two types of treatment for depression in teens, music therapy and antidepressant drugs. The purpose of evaluating these two treatments is to decipher which is ultimately the best treatment, according to studies, articles, and documentaries. It is important to note that while this research has analyzed data in order to understand what the best treatment is, there is no single treatment that will work for every patient.This research is important for teens coping with depression, as it indicates that there are many ways to treat depression. It is also important that teens not feel alienated with their mental illness, therefore more research should be targeted towards adolescents dealing with mental health problems. The method used for this research was a content analysis, as it effectively organized the data and quantified studies, articles, and other forms of data. Eight thematic concepts have been recognized, and then turned into questions that were answered using a 4 Point Scale. This 4 Point Scale evaluated strong and weak advantages/disadvantages, based on data provided, for each thematic concept. According to the 4 Point Scale, music therapy received 28 out of a possible 32 points, meanwhile antidepressant drugs received 16 out of 32 points.These findings state that in ratio terms, music therapy received an overall better score than antidepressants. In terms of thematic concepts, music therapy gained points in categories regarding emotional support and a less invasive technique style, whereas antidepressant drugs received points in areas regarding long term relief and the positive effects of chemically balancing the brain.

Comment les soins donnés et reçus au domicile des personnes « démentes » (malades d¿Alzheimer et de troubles apparentés) sont-ils vécus par celles-ci, les proches et les professionnelles qui en prennent soin ? Quelles formes prend leur expérience, selon la diversité des configurations soignantes ? Quelle portée politique a-t-elle ? Qüest-ce qui la favorise ? Pour répondre à ces questions, l¿auteure a mené une enquête ethnographique durant sept années au domicile de personnes « démentes », dans des centres de soins de jours et dans des collectifs en dehors du face à face quotidien.Dans la première partie de l¿ouvrage, les récits issus de l¿enquête suivent le fil du soin, la fragilité de celles et ceux qüil relie, le temps qüil exige et qui parfois permet d¿accorder personnes soignantes et soignées. Par une présence de longue durée au domicile, le nombre et la variété des situations suivies, une attention sensible aux personnes malades, plus difficiles à rejoindre, l¿auteure donne accès à l¿expérience du soin de tou·te·s ses protagonistes. Elle élabore à partir d¿elle les questions morales et politiques qui sont en jeu, trop peu présentes dans nos espaces publics, en s¿inspirant de l¿approche pragmatiste de J. Dewey.Dans la seconde partie du livre, l¿enquête se poursuit dans des lieux permettant une élaboration morale et politique du soin à ses protagonistes : réunions de professionnel·le·s sous différentes formes, temps de parole et de formation offertes par des associations du champ spirituel à des bénévoles et des soignant·e·s ou groupe de travail politique des personnes malades elles-mêmes. Dans quelle mesure ces espaces favorisent-ils la contribution de chacun·e aux soins donnés et reçus, soutenant ainsi le développement d¿un soin démocratique ? Cette contribution dépasse-t-elle le face à face du soin pour porter sur ses conditions collectives ? Des récits de soin supplémentaires sont gratuitement disponibles sur le site www.aufildusoin.be
