When Do Chicken Pox Stop Itching

PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN RENAL PATIENTS

The
studies conducted so far show that these people at the beginning of his life with dialysis, there is great need for information and search for relevant cognitive elements to get an accurate representation of their illness and its treatment. Shape at this stage, the attitude toward the disease, coping style and what Luria referred to as the intellectual component of the internal table of the 1st disease (Otero, H. 2000). It is also found that after a long period of life with diƔ1isis, there are important changes in the personality of these patients. Changes consist of a restructuring of the reasons, reduced the intensity of attitudes toward social 1as, work, sexuality, other people and a restructuring of values \u200b\u200band interests, taking the related importance of his own being and health.

The treatment should begin by addressing the person as an integral entity, as a unit, which will facilitate their recovery or change. Should take into account certain strategies. The first, a high tolerance for frustration, because there are always going to give the desired answers. We must also demonstrate that our intervention is necessary in areas attitudinal, behavioral, family interventions, or in their environment. In addition, we use strategies of conciliation and negotiation, the main objective will improve the quality of life and provide the resources to change. your lifestyle. As psychologists, our therapeutic goal is to help the patient to relieve symptoms, ie. Their behavior anxious, depressed, emotional state, their habits inadequate (forbidden foods, smoking, etc..) Ensure proper emotional management, limiting the advance of evil, limiting or eliminating the consequences caused psicol6gicas disability such as depression and anxiety ; aspects to consider, since these states contribute to further depression or impair their health, and cause states of hopelessness.

The intervention to help improve your lifestyle, you should use different Strategies such as psychoeducational, which prepares educational media and materials to inform the patient about how there is the disease process, how their behavior and attitudes are contributing to it. For example, in patients who do not control their anger or emotional states, it will lead to changes in its internal balance, changes at the autonomic, neuroendocrine and immune (Coss Delgado, E. 199).

They should also educate in areas such as risk factors, situations or behaviors that are more related to disease. Factors such as proper diet and nutrition, adequate rest to avoid disruptions in biological rhythms, leading to gastrointestinal disorders and other general health problems.

Education means not only inform, but to achieve a change in attitude, which is part of the whole multidisciplinary team, and in many cases making use of people who have gone through the same experience.

Another stage is the motivation, contributing to increase the willingness and intention actitudina1 change in this we must explain that should be gradually established goals and objectives, including the use of other health professionals, say they are not alone , and naturally enhancing its family support to achieve major changes at this level.

The following the change itself, where we will provide resources to change some unhealthy habits, both cognitive and emotional and behavioral. To achieve this change, noting that he is not alone, enhancing their social and family support.

The action stage is intended that the person to achieve emotional control as anxiety and anger depresi6n, impair your health and contribute to the advancement of evil, provide individual and group skills. In the maintenance phase, enhance the goals and objectives as well as their skills and emotional control.

contribute to lifestyle change means also teach problem solving, to acquire attitudes optimistic, healthy, positive mental attitude, helping to minimize its emotional impact through relaxation techniques, visualization or meditation, which is an essential part of therapeutic intervention. It is important to involve the family, the couple, their children, if necessary, to friends, ie to contribute to strengthening the social support.

is imperative that you observe successful models (other people who have been the same), who are already recovered and are feeling or have control of their health. Must receive constant feedback, personal, and professional environment.

To increase self-efficacy we need to teach patients learn to self observe, what you think, what I feel, what they do in certain situations. The person has to assume that if you can effect change, but slowly.

The therapeutic goals must be realistic and short, that is, as you will meet them to see if they can make a difference and then the patient is retroinforma if I can do there, I'm not alone, I can do to help and advice.

Ontario License Plates




The small Rania makes some with his hands not very accustomed to the swaying light cooking tasks. Cook today: potato salad. Mix the potatoes, beets, celery purchased at the price of gold at the convenience store the small coastal town, carrot (maybe) in a bowl with mayonnaise and salt and pepper. He does not lose his smile this afternoon will return to the capital and want to leave me something to eat it these days, she worries about me, even unnecessarily, my gut could disprove any of your concerns about my (lack of) food, but it's the gesture that I have left that night in my bed while I try to sleep, that night was not raining but I could not hear the noise of the sea. This night I cling to that image: small Rania, just before returning to the capital, prepared in the tiny stack of that little apartment on the second floor under the mango tree potato salad for me. I think over and over again, the only thing that protects me now, tonight I want to escape from the bed, I escape. The memory of Lena stewing, (not stewing
I must say), I must say stewing for me or rather for me, holding me and I almost comforting.
It has been said that the individual is told stories to save himself from the truth, reality, (as TS Elliot said there are only a limited amount of reality that man can tolerate), mankind itself is told same stories, reads himself a succession of stories, scenes, imagined events as certain, recalled with nostalgia the insipid falsehood which is then a kind of potion generator of illusions and delusions among those who can not draw the truth, that truth is not what it was and now is a mix-a "fabric of reality" -. But I did not tell myself stories of these to bear on the night and arrive in the morning, I do: Rania cooking potato salad with his hands smiling, with its vibrant fringe on his forehead, making it just for me, that I'ma be a moment that deserves the attention of someone unrestricted and effort accompanied by smiles and vibrant fringe, as I said before. The stories they tell must be sufficient not to change the reality - what we're going to put Freudian trip here? - I tell stories for comfort, for momentary forgetfulness of the fact that after tonight come the morning light with its intolerable flame with bright notes of bugle cruel to work and share the same light that illuminates the dark corners of my life, from dirt, dust and small pieces of paper, lint from blankets outside, fragrant, light as a spotlight illuminates the walls and I can see the full extent of the outbreak eruptive my failure. And to this day think Rania his death that all he did was a potato salad.
