Psychosocial Care for Adult and Child Survivors of the 2004 Tsunami Disaster in India

The tsunami disaster in South Asia affected the mental health of thousands of survivors, but psychological aspects of rehabilitation are frequently overlooked in public health initiatives. From January to March 2005, teams from the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore, India, traveled to south India and implemented a "train the trainer" community-based mental health program of psychosocial care to facilitate the recovery of child and adult survivors. Psychosocial care has applications to natural and man-made disasters in developing countries.

The perceived knowledge and attitudes of governing body chartered physiotherapists towards the psychological aspects of rehabilitation

Objectives. This study investigated the knowledge and attitudes of governing body chartered physiotherapists towards the psychological aspects of rehabilitation, their perceived need for training and reported access to an accredited sport psychologist or chartered clinical psychologist for onward referral. Methodological Approach. The methodological approach adopted was a constructionist revision of the Grounded Theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 governing body chartered physiotherapists. QSR N-Vivo ( Fraser 1999) was employed to assist with the mechanical aspects of text coding, search, retrieval and theoretical modelling. A Grounded model was developed to represent the key themes. Results. Results concur with previous research, demonstrating an unequivocal and important role for practitioners in the psychological support provided to the injured athletes. Although practitioners reported conflicts regarding the nature and depth of this role, they are assuming responsibility for the provision of psychological support, even if not self-acknowledging this role. Practitioners have an extensive implicit knowledge base on the psychology of the injured athlete garnered through experiential learning. This implicit knowledge is not supported by an understanding of underpinning psychological theory, or formal education and training in psychology or psychology of sport and sports injury. Conclusions. Questions exist regarding the efficacy of psychological support in clinical practice. Professional training and application of reflective and evidence based practice principles to this area of clinical practice are strongly recommended.

Physiotherapists' and male professional athletes' views on psychological skills for rehabilitation

In the literature on the psychological aspects of rehabilitation from athletic injury, several studies in North America have focused on athletic trainers' roles as physical and psychological caregivers for injured athletes. Wiese, Weiss, and Yukelson (1991) examined the views of athletic trainers on the psychological characteristics that distinguished athletes who coped well, versus those who coped poorly with rehabilitation, and also sought athletic trainers opinions on the role of psychological skills in injury rehabilitation. This study replicated the Wiese et al. (1991) study with Australian physiotherapists and extended it to include the viewpoints of professional basketball players. The results indicated the importance attached to communication and motivation by both physiotherapists and athletes in the rehabilitation process. Both athletes and physiotherapists did not, however, think psychological skills such as relaxation or imagery techniques to be particularly useful tools in the recovery process.

A small consecutive series of 27 myocardial infarction patients were interviewed at approximately 10 and 40 weeks after infarction to obtain data concerning the psychological aspects of rehabilitation. The results emphasized the need for consistency in imparting information and advice, and suggested the value of joint cardiological and clinical psychological assessment where patients fail to make expected progress. They pointed to a simple framework for intervention which is capable of further development and evaluation.
