Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

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

13.6K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatric Nursing
    • Mental Health Assessment
    • Psychopathology

    Background:

    • Auditory hallucinations (AH) significantly impact individuals with mental health conditions.
    • Effective assessment is crucial for tailoring care and supporting recovery.
    • Psychiatric-mental health (PMH) nurses require specialized tools to understand patient experiences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Auditory Hallucinations Interview Guide (AHIG) as a tool for PMH nurses.
    • To highlight the AHIG's utility in assessing past and current experiences of voice hearers.
    • To demonstrate how the AHIG facilitates individualized patient care and recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the 32-item Auditory Hallucinations Interview Guide (AHIG).
    • Application of the AHIG in both research and clinical settings (inpatient and outpatient).
    • Utilizing the AHIG to establish shared terminology for auditory hallucinations between patients and nurses.

    Main Results:

    • The AHIG provides a structured and safe environment for voice hearers to share their experiences.
    • The tool aids in developing a shared understanding of auditory hallucinations.
    • It facilitates the establishment of trust and rapport in the nurse-patient relationship.

    Conclusions:

    • The AHIG is valuable for psychiatric-mental health nurses in assessing auditory hallucinations.
    • It promotes patient-centered care and encourages recovery by fostering trust and collaboration.
    • The guide assists in developing effective management strategies for auditory hallucinations, including managing command hallucinations.
