Analysis of nursing ethics and practice of physical constraints in the intensive care unit

Patients in intensive care unit were more critically ill, and often accompanied by dottiness and restless. In order to avoid the adverse events and self-injury, body constraints were often used on the patients. Therefore, this paper would discuss the ethics of body constraints and give the suggestions. According to the literature review and the analysis of the clinical nursing experience of relevant ethical principles, data was collected. The principle of informed consent, respect, and harmless was hard to decide on the issue of body constraints for patients in ICU. Nurses might pay attention to the application of ethical principles, and strengthen the humanistic care. On the issue of body constraints for ICU patients, nurses might pay special attention to the application of possible ethics principles in nursing process and reduce the application of the body constraints, and promote the physical and mental comfort of patients. It reflected the progress of the humanistic solicitude in the current clinical nursing and important value. Key words: Ethical analysis; Intensive care unit; Body constraint

Preparation, structured deliberate practice and decision making in elite level football: The case study of Gary Neville (Manchester United FC and England)

Decision making in elite level sporting competition is often regarded as distinguishing success from failure. As an intricate brain-based process it is unlike other physical processes because it is invisible and is typically only evidenced after the event. This case study shows how an individual achieved great success in elite level professional football through consistent positive decision making on and off the field of play. Through prolonged interviewing, Gary Neville, a player from Manchester United Football Club, explored personal behaviours, the structure and activities of deliberate practice and his professional choices in match preparation. His career-long devotion to purposeful organised practice was focused on cognition, physical preparation, context-relative physical action and refined repetition to optimise his mental comfort while enhancing his match day performances. This approach was underpinned by diligent personal and collective organisation and by concerted action. Results provide an insight into the categorical nature of his deliberate practice, sport-specific information processing and match-based decision making. At the operational level, his process was mediated by a complex mental representation of ongoing and anticipated game situations; these representations were continuously updated during each match. Allowing for the limitations of the design, implications are provided for developmental and educational coaching, match preparation, deliberate practice activity and improved use of the performance analysis software packages in professional football.

OCZEKIWANIA KOBIET WOBEC BADAŃ GINEKOLOGICZNYCH

It is commonly known that gynaecologi- cal examinations cause a lot of negative emotions in the majority of women. The aim of my work was: 1. Getting to know women's views on the nature of a pelvic examination and their expectations regarding gynaecologists. 2. To determine the correlation between the examined views and independent variables such as the age of the respondents, residence, and place of examination. The research material consisted of 1200 women living in the region of Western Pomerania and in Lódź. The measurement tool was a survey of my own authorship. 1. In the opinion of most women, gynaecological examination is embarrassing and stressful. It has not been proven that this opinion was related to age, residence or place of examination. 2. According to women, the most embarrassing moment of a visit to the gynaecologist is lying down on the gynaecological chair, and the gynecological examination. The most unpleasant aspect is palpation through the vagina and rectum. These feelings differ depending on age, residence and place of taking the examination. 3. The choice of the gynaecologist's gender is dependent on women's age. 4. The frequency of reporting for the gynaecological examination decreases with women's age, and is dependent on their place of residence. 5. A sense of safety and mental comfort during the gynaecological examination is provided by the lack of third parties, except for the presence of a midwife. It is also dependent on the patient's age, her place of residence, as well as the examination site. 6. Women's expectations of a gynaecologist are focused mainly on maintaining a sense of intimacy and safety, getting information about the procedures, as well as a pleasant and individual approach.

A survey of community pharmacists’ attitudes towards mental illness

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare the pharmacy services provided to people taking psychotropic and cardiovascular medications and examine the association between pharmacists’ attitudes towards mental illness and provision of pharmacy services. The paper also considers pharmacists’ opinions of the pharmaceutical care needs of people with mental illness including their physical health. Design/methodology/approach – A survey instrument was sent by facsimile to a random sample of community pharmacists in England and Wales. Findings – Community pharmacists had generally positive attitudes towards mental illness but provided significantly fewer pharmacy services (and were less comfortable providing them) to patients taking psychotropic medications than to patients taking cardiovascular medications. Awareness of the higher prevalence of physical health conditions among people with severe mental illness was not high. Provision of pharmacy services was associated with pharmacists’ attitudes towards mental illness and comfort providing pharmaceutical care. Other factors that may contribute to these disparities in service provision are discussed. Practical implications – The study findings indicate the need for enhanced mental health education for pharmacy students to improve attitudes, knowledge and confidence in mental health and the inclusion of mental health in pharmacy advanced services. Originality/value – Few studies have examined the relationship between attitudes towards mental illness and provision of pharmacy services. This was the first study to examine the attitudes of British community pharmacists towards mental illness.

Das bittere Brot: H. G. Adler, Elias Canetti und Franz Baermann Steiner im Londoner Exil by Jeremy Adler

Reviewed by: Das bittere Brot: H. G. Adler, Elias Canetti und Franz Baermann Steiner im Londoner Exil by Jeremy Adler William Collins Donahue Jeremy Adler, Das bittere Brot: H. G. Adler, Elias Canetti und Franz Baermann Steiner im Londoner Exil. Göttingen: Wallstein, 2015. 117pp. Das bittere Brot is a slim volume that is divided into three parts: The first is a very general treatment of the plight of exiled poets and thinkers, with a focus on Germans and German Jews forced into American and British diaspora by the Nazis. The second is what one might have expected from the book’s title: a hands-on exploration of the fascinating relationships among the figures named in the subtitle. The third is a passionate, if partisan, apologia for H. G. Adler mounted by his son, Jeremy. Each part might have become a book in its own right, and, in the case of the latter two, probably needed that kind of space to make their case adequately. Still, this little book is one that gets progressively better. So let’s begin at the end. Without warning, part 3 veers off from the émigré triumvirate announced in the book’s title into another, unexpected, but nevertheless quite interesting direction. The sense of disjuncture is not accidental: This is a German translation of an essay that appeared fifteen years ago under the title “Good Against Evil? H. G. Adler, T. W. Adorno, and the Representation of the Holocaust.” No matter, it remains of interest today. The younger Adler—who for some reason never identifies himself as his subject’s son—offers a convincing explanation as to why H. G. Adler (and other authors like him) would have been not only overlooked but also actively marginalized by the high priests of Holocaust representation. Jeremy Adler makes Adorno the chief culprit but adds Lawrence Langer and Saul Friedländer into the mix. These are the best-known exponents of an orthodoxy that, he says, esteemed nihilism and the impossibility of representation as the Holocaust’s ultimate “lesson” (when of [End Page 172] course no lesson whatsoever was to be gleaned from the camps) and actively belittled as trivializing any mode of aesthetic representation that hinted at transcendence, hope, or even partial recovery from the great catastrophe. All that kind of thing, Langer warned, was a cheap form of “mental comfort,” part of the “culture of consolation” threatening to undermine the “true” Holocaust narrative of ultimate despair. But this view—one that indeed dominated academic discussion for several decades but did not much affect broader arenas of popular culture—leaves little room for one Hans Günther Adler, who survived internment in both Theresienstadt and Auschwitz and gradually began to reflect on those formative years in a rich array of poetry, novels, and, of course, the massive sociological study Theresienstadt 1941–1945 while in his postwar British “exile.” The author is right to point out that it is not simply a matter of personal sentiment (H. G. Adler remained committed to Enlightenment ideals, ethics, and a spiritual conception of the human being even after the Holocaust) but also of philosophical consistency. If we were to take seriously some of the nihilistic Holocaust scholarship of the time, he says, we would deprive ourselves of the very underpinnings that permit us to see it as an immoral genocide: “Besäßen wir nämlich nicht genau diese [philosophischen] Kategorien, hätten wir keine Möglichkeiten, überhaupt zu beurteilen, dass ein Verbrechen stattgefunden hat, geschweige denn ein Verbrechen dieses Ausmaßes.” All to the good. Jeremy Adler is at his best, I think, when he explains why the work of his father, which includes one hundred poems written during his internment in Theresienstadt, was bound to be ignored or undervalued, given the regnant academic paradigms of the day. He is poignant in his defense of H. G. Adler’s narrative efforts to return dignity to Holocaust victims and absolutely convincing in his argument about the unintended consequence of the so-called aesthetics of nihilism—namely, the effective disenfranchising of “dissident” survivor poets and thinkers such as his father. Making the positive case, however, is more of a challenge. He argues that...

The Analysis of Effect of Colour Psychology on Environmental Graphic in Children Ward at Medical Centres

The child is a small and very sensitive creature that may react to any stimulant that is created and presented by genetics and environment and need to proper care all the moments, particularly during illness. The child is the beautiful miniature of creation. Unlike our imagination, the child is not the small adult human. This small lively creature differs from an adult person in all dimensions including speech and behavior. Difference among child and an adult human is not restricted to behavioral and verbal issues. But, it is extended to field of disease and therapy as well. For this reason, treatment of child (pediatrics) requires wide psychological and emotional issues., The hospitals are some of architectural spaces, which are assumed as important in terms of design and function due to giving medical services and referrals of various groups of people. Sometimes, compulsory attendance in this space may induce us specific sense where this sense is dubbed along with pain and worry or stress exerted to the patient and this issue may be intensified about children who have mild spirit, weak body, and lower cognition about the environment and this may impose therapeutic process to difficulty and problems for parents of child and personnel. Through analysis in psychological effect of color in environmental graphic (design) by conducting descriptive analysis for exploitation from experiences of these communities toward improvement of climate in national children hospitals, we may come to this result about application of suitable color in graphical design used in this space that what observance of this issue may play basic role in coordination with architectural design space for children hospital in improvement of accepting this climate for children and personnel and reducing some problems such as routing of accelerated activity, reduced stress, mental comfort, and improvement quality of job satisfaction for the given personnel in that space.

Window Today – Still an Important Architectural Element of Exterior and Interior

Is the window just one of the most commonplace elements of buildings? Is it a simple void or aperture in the external wall? It has to provide optical connection between interior and exterior admits light and air; offer a view, ensuring mental comfort in the interior. However, it is the most exposed element of the building envelope. Construction and building physic properties of windows significantly impact formation of optimal indoor climate and they are crucially involved in the energy loss of the object. Nevertheless, architectural expression is one of the most important functions of the window. As history of architecture shows, window is one of the key architectural components of a building.

Special aspects of water use in Persian gardens

Abstract The Persian garden is one of the most characteristic and notable element in the Iranian landscape. Considering Iran’s hot and dry climate along with water deficit for plantation, it becomes noticeable how important the art of making gardens is to Iranians. Water is one of the most crucial elements in the Persian garden, and we can state that gardens would be meaningless without it. Garden applications use water with its various abilities such as life, brightness, cleanliness, light, inertia, and motion, which bring forward numerous feelings in the human soul and enhance mental comfort. Also, its various running structures, such as basins, streams, water creeks, and fountains, provide mental comfort and technical functions.

Stigmatizing beliefs: How leading patient medication education groups on an inpatient psychiatric unit impacts pharmacy learners

Abstract Introduction Stigma is an important challenge facing patients with mental illness. Stigmatizing attitudes may impact the quantity and quality of care patients receive. Interaction with these patients may reduce stigmatizing attitudes in pharmacy learners. Patient medication education groups (PMEGs) provide learners with an opportunity for this interaction. The objectives of the study were to evaluate pharmacy learner's attitudes toward patients with mental illness and their comfort and ability to provide pharmaceutical services to this population before and after leading a PMEG on an adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit and to evaluate the feasibility of a larger, future trial. Methods Third- or fourth-year student pharmacists or first-year pharmacy residents observed a postgraduate year-2 (PGY2) pharmacy specialty resident in psychiatry leading PMEGs on the adolescent unit of an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Then, they discussed their own ideas for design and delivery of a group (with feedback from the PGY2 resident) and, under observation of the PGY2, led their own group. The study used a mixed-methods approach consisting of a presurvey and postsurvey learning experience survey as well as reflective statements. The presurvey consisted of 2 previously validated measures that evaluate stigma toward people with mental illness—the Social Distance Scale (SDS) and the Opening Minds Scale for Health Care Providers (OMS-HC). The postsurvey also consisted of the SDS and OMS-HC and included program evaluation questions that examined the learners' impression of patients with mental illness, their ability and comfort with providing pharmaceutical services to patients with mental illness, and their reflections on the experience. Results Seven pharmacy learners participated, and 5 completed both the prelearning and postlearning experience survey for a 71% response rate. There was a median decrease in stigmatizing beliefs of 1 point on the SDS, and a median 5-point drop in the OMS-HC scale. The postintervention questions yielded results primarily of strongly agree or agree with the statements evaluating the other objectives, and the reflection statements brought up the additional value of the educational intervention. Finally, the feasibility and value of a larger trial were confirmed. Discussion The value of pharmacy learners teaching PMEGs on stigmatizing beliefs toward patients with mental illness was confirmed. The effectiveness of a model of observing, designing, and delivering a PMEG was also postulated and will be further examined with a larger trial. Future research will also focus on examining the impact of this model on patient outcomes.

Key words: Comfortable nursing; Gynecology and obstetrics surgery; Analgesia; Quality of care

Shakespeare by Elçin (review)

Reviewed by: Shakespeare by Elçin Marvin Carlson SHAKESPEARE. By Elçin. Directed by Himli Zafer Şashin. Municipal Theatre, Istanbul. 14 March 2014. Although Azerbaijan was one of the first Muslim-majority nations to present theatre and opera in the Western style, and now has a strong theatrical tradition in this style going back almost a century and a half, Azerbaijani plays and dramatists remain almost totally unknown in the United States and much of [End Page 458] Europe. They are more common in the repertoire of nearby Turkey, however, and I was fortunate enough to see there a recent Azerbaijani work with very strong Western echoes. Elçin’s Shakespeare was first presented in an elegant new theatre in Baku in 2007 and revived seven years later in the Municipal Theatre of Istanbul. The dramatist, whose full name is Elçin Ilyas Oglu Afandiyev, is generally known by the single name Elçin and is one of the best-known writers in his country; he is also its deputy prime minister. After enjoying great success in novels and cinema, Elçin turned to the theatre. Shakespeare is his tenth play. The play echoes the Western repertoire in several ways, and not only in the evocation of its greatest dramatist. Like Marat/Sade, it takes place in a rather theatricalized mental hospital and, like Peter Schaffer’s Equus, features a narrator/psychiatrist (Ertuğrul Postoğlu) who helps others, but feels a kind of existential emptiness within himself. As is often the case in such works, the “crazy” inmates of the hospital possess insights denied to the learned doctor and his staff. The central inmate (played by the leading Azerbaijani actress Selma Kutluğ) believes she is Sarah Bernhardt, who, in turn, believes that Shakespeare in general, and Romeo and Juliet in particular, elevate humanity to a new level of happiness and harmony. The only inmate sympathetic to her vision is Slash 13 (Murat Kuner), even though theatre does not exist on the planet Vanderprandur from which he claims to come. He explains to the doctor that on his planet everyone tells the truth, so theatre is not necessary to express true feelings. Nevertheless, he feels envy for the experience that Sarah champions and demonstrates. Much less impressed is an inmate who fancies himself Josef Stalin (Senzai Aydin) and is primarily concerned with insisting that history has made him appear far worse than he actually was. Among the other, less central inmates are a schizophrenic (Acts Atemgüe) who fancies herself both a husband and wife, and another purported space traveler, this one from Venus. Sarah’s campaign meets with little success until Slash 13 agrees to perform a love scene from Shakespeare’s play to demonstrate to the others what the playwright offers. In the Turkish production, they performed the scene in strong overhead lighting that reduced the watchers to dim silhouettes surrounding the action. Their performance of the scene was powerful and deeply moving, not only for the little audience onstage, but for the larger real audience assembled in the theatre. Sarah clearly makes her point about the emotional power of theatre, and the audience laughs and applauds in support; even the crusty Stalin proclaims, “this is better than Marx.” Not long after this key scene, the production offered an even more spectacular stage effect. Somewhat in the manner of the famous helicopter in Miss Saigon, an enormous spaceship filled the area above the stage, bathing all in dazzling light. It is the colleagues of Slash 13, come to take him back home. Before he leaves, however, he urges all those left behind to heed the lessons of Shakespeare that Sarah has tried to impart to them. Whether their lives have, in fact, been altered we do not learn, but it is clear that the psychiatrist, who was not present for the extraterrestrial visit or for the Shakespearian scene, has not been able to profit from either, apparently considering the first a mass hallucination, and the second a foolish game played by the inmates. He ends the play alone in his office, still searching for the mental comfort that so closely passed him by. Aside from excellent performances, the...

Social Stress in Romanian Teachers

Research has suggested that teachers are exposed to different sources of stress. There are reports showing that the main sources of teacher stress are: the lack in motivation of the students; maintaining discipline in the classroom; confrontation between time constraints and workload; multiple changes repeatedly; repeated assessments made by others; challenging relations with colleagues or management; poor working conditions.The study examines the level of social stress on a sample of Romanian teachers, as an indicator of the subjects mental comfort and, generally, mental health for the studied sample.

Study regarding the role of motivation in the sport performance activities

Background: What does it mean to be motivated? This is a question often formulated by psychologists and other researchers of human behavior. However it is a question which interests more or less managers and coaches, but the produced effects can be determinative for the activity of sports performance at all levels. Material/Methods: The present work aims to analyze the measurements in which the actions connected to athletes’ motivation , undertaken by sports organizations, influence and support their activities in order to increase performance. For this purpose we used the literature survey, a questionnaire, data analysis and data processing. This research was conducted on a total of 177 registered athletes from various sports clubs. Stability issues were tracked in the sports club, the conditions in which they operate, the level of motivation in training and competitions, team status, the level of aspiration, the level of appreciation and rewards, etc. Results: It is remarkable that the athlete’s option for the possibility to achieve high performance constitutes a more important motivator than the opportunity to have greater earning money though financial conditions. Conclusions: The motivation in training shows fluctuations due to factors of sports nature but also material stability, especially influencing athletes’ mental comfort. The levels of assessment, communication and reward are important motivational factors with direct effects on the results obtained by athletes both in competition and in training.

The relationship between emotional intelligence health and marital satisfaction: A comparative study.

Introduction:Marriage is known as the most important incident in everyone's life after birth. The most important purpose of marriage is achieving a life followed with love and affection beside the spouse and providing mental comfort and general health. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence health and marital satisfaction among married people.Materials and Methods:The research method is descriptive- analytic and its design is comparative, done on 226 people including 114 persons (50 women and 64 men) having marital conflicts, and 112 people (58 women and 54 men) having marital satisfaction, by cluster random sampling from 13 districts of the city of Isfahan. Bar-on (with 90 questions) and Enrich marital satisfaction (115 questions) questionnaires were used for collecting the required information. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics including independent t-tests, Pearson correlation, and linear regression analysis, using SPSS software version 19.Results:The results from the research showed that the scores of emotional intelligence in married people group having marriage conflicts who had referred to the administration of justice was 57.3 ± 13.2, and the random sample from the married people in the city of Isfahan as the comparing group had the score of 67.2 ± 9.5, and the difference of the average scores for the emotional intelligence for the two groups was significant (P < 0.001). The correlation analysis showed that there was a significant and positive relation between emotional intelligence and marital satisfaction (P < 0.001, r = 0.529). The results of linear regression also showed that the general emotional intelligence predicts the quality of marital satisfaction. The emotion of the predicting line of the marital satisfaction score (y) is in the form of: y = 14.8 + 0.656x, by using the emotional intelligence score (x).Conclusion:Regarding the close relations between emotional intelligence and marital satisfaction, education centers such as universities, organizations and family clinics could use this variable in micro- and macro-social plans for improving the quality of the married people relations and promoting health of the families and the society.

The data was collected from daily chart by self reporting their experiences during sessions. Collected data was analyzed by content analysis. From raw data, 37 items of NF, 91 items of CST and 110 items of CT were extracted in the content analysis. Similar items were gathered to 22 attributes of NF, 63 of CST and 68 of CT. These attributes were categorized into 9 higher attributes. The dominant attributes of NF were doziness during the training, mental comfort, lightening of physical and mental condition. Mental and physical comfort, improvement of sleep, healthy condition, crying were the dominant of CST. Also mental and physical comfort, lightening of physical condition, improvement of sleep, tear were the dominant of CT. According to the results of this study NF, CST and CT were very effective on physical and psychological relaxation. Therefore it is recommended that these NF, CST and CT be used as a complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) in middle aged women.

LITHIUM MINERAL WATER

Hydrological surveys showed that Romania basement contains a variety of balneary resources located within on the surface crust. Mineral waters are spread over more than 20% of the country at different depths, with a wide range of physical, chemical and therapeutic properties depending on their genesis. Balneary resources are represented mainly by therapeutic minerals that the physicochemical properties answer the needs of medical and prophylactic maintenance, enhancement and restoration of health, work capacity and physical and mental comfort of the individual. The surface waters arising from a natural source or updated by drilling and whose physical and chemical characteristics that may exert dynamic pharmaco-therapeutic are considered therapeutic mineral waters. Mineral waters are waters that have a variable content of salts, gas, minerals, radioactive elements, which gives them therapeutic properties. In the past, name of mineral water was attributed to all shallow or groundwater mineral water that could be used for therapeutic purposes. In recent years, mineral water that could be used for therapeutic purposes have been given the name of curative water. Lithium arouses a great scientific interest because, although his structure is so simple, easy to analyze, with chemical and physical properties well established the myriad of the effects on biological systems by influencing many cellular processes and molecular and the mechanism of action are still unclear generates a mystery that modern science attempting to decipher.
