Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

1.3K
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Psychodynamic Perspectives on Personality

1.6K
The psychodynamic perspective in psychology asserts that most personality functions operate unconsciously, outside of awareness. This means that the motives and emotions driving behavior often remain hidden, automatically buried in the unconscious mind as a defense mechanism to shield us from psychological distress. According to this theory, the unconscious mind contains thoughts, memories, and emotions that are too disturbing to face directly.
Psychodynamic theorists argue that unconscious...

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

1.0K
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Criticisms of the Evolutionary Perspective

376
In a study where individuals posing as strangers offered compliments and proposed casual sex to students, the responses differed significantly based on gender. Not a single woman accepted the proposal, while 70% of the men agreed. This outcome provides a useful scenario to explore through the lens of evolutionary psychology and social learning theory, highlighting the diverse perspectives on human sexual behaviors.
Evolutionary psychology provides one explanation for these findings, suggesting...

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality01:19

The Behavioral Perspective on Personality

823
Behaviorists view personality as primarily shaped by environmental reinforcements and consequences. According to this perspective, behavior is influenced by external stimuli, and individuals adjust their actions based on rewards and punishments. Over time, learning histories — accumulated patterns of reinforcement — play a significant role in shaping personality. Behaviors that lead to positive outcomes are reinforced, while those resulting in negative outcomes are diminished.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.5K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Surgical patients often receive palliative care late, typically within 24-48 hours of death.
  • Reasons for delayed palliative care referrals in surgical settings are not well understood.
  • Physician beliefs and characteristics may influence late palliative care referrals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore surgeon perspectives on death and dying.
  • To investigate the relationship between these perspectives and delayed palliative care referrals.

Main Methods:

  • A survey instrument, including open-ended questions, was administered to surgeons.
  • Deductive content analysis was employed to analyze surgeon preferences for end-of-life care.
  • Participants were members of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons.

Main Results:

  • Four key themes emerged regarding surgeon preferences for end-of-life care: pain/symptom management, clear decision-making, avoidance of medical interventions, and completion.
  • Surgeons' personal experiences with death and dying influenced their practice.
  • 117 out of 131 respondents (89.3%) completed the qualitative section of the survey.

Conclusions:

  • Surgeon preferences for end-of-life care may contribute to the underuse or delay of palliative care services.
  • Understanding these preferences can inform initiatives to improve palliative care integration for surgical patients.
  • Further research is needed to clarify how surgeon preferences impact patient treatment recommendations.
