Coping Strategies: Problem Focused01:27

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

71
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences.

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

71
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969).

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

77
Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

4.8K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Professional Development
  • Emotional Resilience

Background:

  • Palliative care professionals encounter significant emotional challenges due to advanced disease patient care.
  • Effective coping strategies are crucial for well-being in palliative care.
  • Limited understanding exists regarding the developmental trajectory of coping skills throughout a palliative care professional's career.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an explanatory model detailing the evolution of coping mechanisms in palliative care professionals over their careers.

Main Methods:

  • Grounded theory methodology was employed.
  • Constant comparative analysis of interviews was conducted by two researchers.
  • Participants included 21 palliative care nurses and physicians from Spain and Portugal, with theoretical sampling of those who left the field.

Main Results:

  • A five-stage iterative model of coping development was identified: Contention, Disconnection, Proactive Management, Integration, and Transcendence.
  • This process is dynamic, with professionals potentially revisiting earlier stages.
  • Key factors influencing this development include clinical cases, teamwork, and self-care, enabling professionals to manage feelings of being overwhelmed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model illustrates a pathway for personal and professional growth in palliative care.
  • It highlights the accumulation of strategies that effectively modulate emotional responses.
  • The model supports the maintenance of long-term engagement and passion for palliative care work.
