The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

625
Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.6K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on ADHD management within nursing practice.
  • Focuses on the nurse's role in assessment, information gathering, and treatment planning.
  • Highlights key components of multimodal treatment, including pharmacotherapy, psychoeducation, and behavioral therapies.

Main Results:

  • Nurses require a deep understanding of ADHD to effectively analyze symptoms and differentiate comorbidities.
  • Multimodal treatment, involving pharmacotherapy, psychoeducation, and behavioral therapies, is crucial.
  • Nurses are central to coordinating care with patients, families, and educational systems.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses are pivotal in the person-centered, multimodal management of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
