Individers upplevelser av livssituationen efter en traumatisk hjärnskada : En systematisk litteraturöversiktDimander, Emma, Hellgren, Klara January 2020 (has links)
Introduktion: Traumatisk hjärnskada är en av det ledande orsakerna till mortalitet och morbiditet globalt. Traumatisk hjärnskada graderas som mild, måttlig eller svår skada. Prognosen kan variera beroende på allvarlighetsgraden, långvarig medvetslöshet samt storleken på primär och sekundär skada. De förlorade eller nedsatta funktioner som hjärnskadan medfört kan i olika grad påverka individers livssituation. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur individer med en traumatisk hjärnskada upplever sin livssituation tiden efter den akuta fasen av skadan. Metod: En kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie med beskrivande design. Studiens resultat baserades på 10 vetenskapliga originalartiklar från databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. Resultat: Fyra huvudkategorier identifierades: komplikationer, ett annat liv, mötet med hälso- och sjukvården samt vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada. De mest framträdande komplikationerna var fysiska, kognitiva och psykosociala svårigheter. En förändrad självbild och att acceptera skadan gav upphov till känslan av ett annat liv efter skadan. Information, kommunikation och stöd var viktiga delar i mötet med hälso- och sjukvården. Vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada omfattade närståendes betydelse, arbetsliv och återhämtning vilket var viktiga delar för en fungerande vardag. Slutsats: Individer som drabbats av traumatisk hjärnskada upplever i olika grad att livet förändras efter skadan. Hur komplikationer inverkar på livet, känslan av ett annat liv, mötet med hälso- och sjukvården samt vardagen med traumatisk hjärnskada var dominerande upplevelser som alla påverkade och kunde förändra individens livssituation. Upplevelserna av en förändrad livssituation kan bidra till känslan av att inte fylla sin funktion i livet vilket kan resultera i en minskad känsla av sammanhang. För att tillmötesgå dessa individer och optimera förutsättningarna krävs god information, kommunikation, förståelse och planering från hälso- och sjukvården och samhället. Nyckelord: traumatisk hjärnskada, vuxna, livsavgörande händelser, känsla av sammanhang, kvalitativ systematisk litteraturstudie / Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide leading cause of death and disability. Traumatic brain injuries can be graded as mild, moderate and severe. The prognosis can vary depending on severity, length of unconsciousness and the size of the primary and/or secondary trauma. The reduced or lost functions that the brain injury brings can to various extents influence individuals’ life situation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe how individuals with a traumatic brain injury experience their life situation following the acute phase of the injury. Method: Qualitative systematic literature study with a descriptive design. The result of the study is based on 10 scientific original articles from the databases PubMed and CINAHL. Results: Four main categories were identified: Complications, Another life, Encounter with healthcare and Daily life with traumatic brain injury. The most prominent complications were physical, cognitive and psychosocial difficulties. A changed self-perception and to accept the injury contributed to the sense of another life after the injury. Information, communication and support were crucial factors in the encounter with healthcare. Daily life with traumatic brain injury included the importance of relatives, working life and recovery which were important factors for a functional daily life. Conclusion: Individuals with traumatic brain injury experience life changes in varying degrees after the injury. Important aspects of the individuals’ life situation included: impact of complications, a feeling of a different life, encounters with healthcare and perceptions of daily life. The experiences of life changes may contribute to a feeling of not being able to fulfill life's duties. That may result in a lower sense of coherence. Adjustment and improvement of the conditions for these individuals require adequate information, communication, understanding and planning from healthcare and society. Keywords: traumatic brain injury, adults, life change events, sense of coherence, qualitative systematic literature study Introduction: Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide leading cause of death and disability.

Upplevelser av egenvård hos patienter med typ 2 : En litteraturstudie / Experiences of Self-management in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes : A literature reviewTran, Van, Lindskog, Claes January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 har utvecklats till en global folksjukdom och utgör cirka 90 % av all diabetes. Kända orsaker till att insjukna i T2D är ärftlighet, ålder och dåliga levnadsvanor. En stor del av behandlingen består av egenvård och patienten har eget ansvar över sin sjukdom. För att kunna utföra egenvård på rätt sätt krävs det att patienter har kunskap om hur kost, motion och andra faktorer påverkar deras blodsockernivåer. Utmaningar och svårigheter som patienter upplever vid utförande av egenvård kommer att styra deras behov av kunskap samt stöd och därför är det viktigt att som sjuksköterska ha en förståelse om detta. Syfte: Denna studies syfte var att beskriva patienter med diabetes typ 2 upplevelser av sin egenvård. Metod: Systematisk litteraturöversikt som utgick från 14 vetenskapliga studier med kvalitativ ansats. Den analysmetod som användes var innehållsanalys. Resultat: Tre kategorier och 7 subkategorier kunde synliggöras. De tre kategorierna var Upplevelser av inre faktorer som hindrar genomförandet av egenvård, Upplevelser av inre faktorer som främjar genomförandet av egenvård samt Upplevelser av yttre faktorer som påverkar genomförandet av egenvård. Konklusion: För att kunna erbjuda personcentrerad vård måste sjuksköterskan ha en förståelse för de hinder som patienter upplever vid utförandet av egenvård. Resultatet i denna studie visade att många patienter saknade kunskap om kosthållning och motion vilket inverkade negativt på deras sjukdomshantering. Patienter upplevde även utmaningar i att hantera de känslor som var vanligt förekommande samt de utökade krav som sjukdomen bidrog till. Faktorer som främjade genomförandet av egenvård var motivation, självinsikt samt acceptans och patienter upplevde att omgivningen hade en stor påverkan på deras förmåga att göra livsstilsförändringar. I och med komplexiteten på sjukdomen är det viktigt att behandlingen utformas och anpassas efter varje patients individuella behov och önskemål. / Background: Type 2 diabetes has developed into a global public disease and may account for about 90 percent for all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Known causes of T2D disease are heredity, older age and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. Self-management is an important part of diabetes treatment and the patients have a responsibility over their illness. To be able to manage self-care in the right way requires that patients have knowledge about how diet, exercise and other factors affect their blood sugar levels. The challenges and difficulties that patients experience while managing self-care will control their need for knowledge and support and that is why it is important for nurses to have an understanding of these issues. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe how patients with type 2 diabetes experience their self-management. Method: Systematic literature review based on 14 scientific studies with a qualitative approach. The analysis method used was content analysis. Result: Three categories and seven subcategories were identified and presented in this study. The three categories were Experiences of internal factors that hinder the implementation of self-care, Experiences of internal factors that promote the implementation of self-care and Experiences of external factors that affect the implementation of self-care. Conclusion: To be able to offer patient centered care nurses need an understanding of the obstacles that patients experience when practicing self-care. The result of this study showed that a lot of patients lacked knowledge about nutrition and physical exercise which had a negative effect on their self-management behaviors. Patients also experienced challenges in dealing with common emotions and the increase of requirements that came along with the disease. Supporting factors that promoted self-care were motivation, self-perception and acceptance and patients experienced that the social environment had a major impact on their ability to make lifestyle changes. As a result of the complexity of the disease it is important that treatment is designed and adapted to every patient’s individual needs and wishes.

Ondersoek na die sosiale en emosionele belewing van die kinders binne ʼn gesinsituasie waar die broer /suster gestremd isCoetzer, Mary Catherine 30 November 2005 (has links)
The family is a miniature society, where a child is afforded the opportunity to develop, form relationships and create his/her own identity. The child's development does not always take place without certain challenges.
Different internal and external factors influence a child's development.
Certain external factors, for instance a child with disabilities, can have a negative or positive influence on the child.
The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the child with Cerebral Palsy on the social and emotional development of siblings. The research will be done using the idiographic method. The results show that the child with Cerebral Palsy does have an influence on the emotional and social development of siblings. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Inclusive Education)

Zimbabwean adolescents’ experience of their parents’ absence due to DiasporaFilippa, Olga Maddalena 03 1900 (has links)
As a result of the Zimbabwean socio-economic and political crisis many have joined the Diaspora leaving their children behind in the care of others. Qualitative research in the form of in-depth semi-structured interviews carried out with seventeen adolescent Zimbabwean Diaspora orphans evidenced a number of emerging themes that illuminate how these adolescents view their situation, such as symptomology of depression, feelings of abandonment and rejection, conflicting feelings, lack of social support, the importance of communication, role changes and additions, materialism, challenges presented by relationships with caregivers, and vulnerability to sexual abuse and molestation. Most of the themes do not appear to be country specific but are shared by adolescent Diaspora orphans world-wide. Defence and coping mechanisms employed by these adolescents to cope with parental absence were also identified. Recommendations aimed at optimising their integration in society and suggestions for further research in this field conclude this study. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Avaliação da magnitude do transtorno de estresse em vítimas de sequestro / Evaluation of the magnitude of the stress disorder caused by the trauma of kiddnappingSantos, Eduardo Ferreira 10 November 2006 (has links)
Considerando que estamos vivendo em São Paulo e em todos os Estados do Brasil, um brutal estado de insegurança pública, vemos o crime de seqüestro (tanto na sua modalidade clássica de manter a vítima em cativeiro por período de tempo variável até o pagamento de resgate, quanto à modalidade conhecida como \"seqüestro-relâmpago\", no qual a vítima fica em poder dos criminosos por poucas horas, enquanto eles agem sobre caixas eletrônicos de bancos e as ameaçam de várias maneiras) atingir um grande número de pessoas com conseqüências graves para o desempenho de suas funções existenciais pós-seqüestro. Este trabalho mostra, através de Entrevistas Estruturadas e Escalas de Avaliação, que o grau de magnitude do Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático que acomete vítimas de ambos os tipos de seqüestro atinge picos suficientemente elevados e que devem receber maior atenção tanto em nível de Saúde Pública quanto Segurança Pública. / Considering that we are living in Sao Paulo and all others States of Brazil, a brutal state of public unsafeness, we see the kidnapping crime (not only in its classical modality of keeping the victim in captivity for a variable period of time until the rescue payment, but also in the modality known as \"lightning-kidnapping\", in which the victim remains under the criminal´ s arrest for few hours, while they act on cash machines and threaten the victims) reaching a great number of people with serious consequences for the performance of their post-sequestration existential functions. This work shows that the magnitude level of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder that attacks kidnapping victims reaches sufficiently high peaks, that must receive more attention, not only in terms of Public Health but also Public Security.

The compass of human will in realism and fantasy: a reading of Sister Carrie and The King of Elfand's DaugherUnknown Date (has links)
As realist and naturalist writers at the turn of the twentieth century adopted a scientific spirit of objectivity, they reflected the emphasis many contemporary scientific studies laid on the forces of the natural world in shaping the character, behavior, and ultimate destiny of man. In this literary mood of "pessimistic determinism," fantasy literature began to experience a resurgence, providing a marked contrast to naturalism's portrayal of the impotence of man to effect change in his circumstances. I examine fantasy's restoration of efficacy to the human will through a study of two representative works of the opposing genres: Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie and Lord Dunsany's The King of Elfland's Daughter. As I demonstrate, the former naturalistic novel emphasizes the impotence of its characters in the face of powerful natural world, while the latter contemporary fantasy novel uniquely showcases man's ability to effect change in his world and his destiny. / by Tracy Stone. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Qualidade de vida e coping religioso/espiritual em mães de crianças com cardiopatia congênita pré-operatórias / Quality of life and coping religious or spiritual mothers of children with congenital heart disease preoperativeMarcelino, Cristiane 28 May 2013 (has links)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar se as mães de crianças com cardiopatia congênita utilizam a espiritualidade/religiosidade como estratégia de enfrentamento e se utilizam de forma negativa ou positiva. Também avaliou a qualidade de vida destas mães e suas associações com as estratégias de enfrentamento além das variáveis: idade, estado civil, profissão, primeira cirurgia e já ter realizado outras cirurgias, tempo de internação, conhecimento sobre a data da cirurgia e grau de escolaridade. Foi aplicado um questionário semi estruturado com o objetivo de obter dados referentes à religiosidade/espiritualidade, o instrumento que avalia a qualidade de vida WHOQOL-bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life - versão abreviada) e o instrumento CRE (Coping Religioso Espiritual) que avalia aspectos relacionados à: religiosidade/espiritualidade. A amostra foi composta por 48 mães de crianças portadoras de cardiopatia congênita que encontravam-se internadas aguardando procedimento cirúrgico. O presente estudo demonstrou através dos achados descritos que ser mãe de uma criança portadora de doença crônica, assim como a cardiopatia congênita, é um fato estressante devido às freqüentes internações, mudança na rotina, ansiedade com a cirurgia, medo da perda, entre outros. Estas mães diante desses eventos utilizam estratégias religiosas positivas e que estas estão correlacionadas com qualidade de vida / The present study aimed to evaluate whether mothers of children with congenital heart disease use spirituality or religiosity as a coping strategy and are used negatively or positively. We also evaluated the quality of life of these mothers and their associated coping strategies besides their variables: age, marital status, occupation, first surgery and other surgeries that were already performed, length of stay, knowledge of the date of surgery and schooling . We applied a semi-structured questionnaire in order to obtain data on religiosity or spirituality, the instrument that assesses the quality of life WHOQOL- BREF (World Health Organization Quality of Life - short version) and the instrument CRE (Religious Coping Spiritual) which evaluates aspects related to: religiosity or spirituality. The sample consisted of 48 mothers of children with congenital heart disease who were hospitalized awaiting surgery. The present study demonstrated by the findings reported to be a mother of a child with chronic illness, as well as congenital heart disease, it is a stressful fact due to frequent hospitalizations, change in routine, anxiety with surgery, fear of loss, among others. These mothers before these strategies use positive religious events and these are correlated with the quality of life
