Schemas

10.8K
A schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Therapeutic Communication01:30

Therapeutic Communication

8.9K
Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Chunking and Rehearsal in Sensory Memory

818
Improving short-term memory can be achieved through techniques like chunking and rehearsal. Chunking involves organizing information into larger, more manageable units. This technique is particularly useful for information that exceeds the typical memory span of between five and nine items. For instance, logging into an online account with a password like "ta89vq0179gz" involves grouping letters and numbers into three chunks—ta89, vq01, and 79gz. It makes large amounts of...

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

12.4K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

630
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

    Area of Science:

    • Adolescent Health Research
    • Digital Health Interventions
    • Longitudinal Cohort Studies

    Background:

    • Longitudinal studies require adolescent engagement for data collection and retention.
    • Text messaging presents a potentially feasible method to enhance adolescent participation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of using text messages in a longitudinal adolescent study.
    • To determine if Short Message Service (SMS) reminders can facilitate biological specimen collection.

    Main Methods:

    • The Adolescent Rural Cohort, Hormones and Health, Education, Environments and Relationships (ARCHER) study involved 342 adolescents.
    • Automated text messages were sent every 3 months to prompt biological specimen collection.

    Main Results:

    • 99.2% of participants owned a mobile phone, with 89.1% responding to text messages.
    • 97.3% of intended urine samples were successfully collected.
    • Response time to SMS correlated with the time to provide a urine sample.

    Conclusions:

    • Short Message Service (SMS) is an effective tool for longitudinal research with adolescents.
    • Text messaging is a feasible and useful reminder for regular biological specimen collection in this demographic.
