Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prospects of Heart Surgery: Psychological Adjustment to Coronary Bypass Grafting reports on a study of how patients and their spouses adjusted to the prospect, and then to the outcome, of coronary graft surgery. The focus upon patients' social relationships rather than upon individuals reveals that the way people bear their illness, and adapt to symptom removal, is part of a wider adjustment involving both the spouse and other individuals. The book offers, as one of its main contributions, a social-psychological approach to the study of illness in general. It sets out a new methodology which might be applied in a number of illness contexts. Using both qualitative and quantitative analyses, Prospects of Heart Surgery describes differences between smooth and problematic approaches to surgery as well as variations in the experience of rehabilitation afterwards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research study was to explore the psychosocial adaptation of persons post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and how it reflects upon their ability to follow prescribed medical regimens and modifications to their lifestyles. Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model was selected as the framework for the research study utilizing the adaptation of persons after surgery to examine the multidimensional experience which has threatened the maintenance of the integrity of body-mind-spirit of these individuals. This study was conducted at a cardiologist's office setting, in Staten Island, New York, utilizing a qualitative design and a phenomenological methodology to gain insight into the lived experiences of persons after having Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery. A convenience sample of nine persons, who have had Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, participated in this study. The procedural steps of phenomenological methodology were used by the researcher and it became evident that the study yielded the themes of making choices and dealing with losses. These clusters of themes were perceived by these individuals as important factors in their experience with having Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. The implications of these findings suggest that nurses need to define what health and quality of life means to their patients and to be able to identify adaptive response in these individuals, this should be implemented in nursing education, at the undergraduate level. Further research is needed to develop and analyze hospital based interventions that cross the continuum of care with these clients, to improve identification of adaptation patterns, and for the health care team to be able to effectively respond and act to support and improve the quality of life of these persons. The findings of the current study suggest that the nursing and medical professions must view each person as an individual and adaptive being and support them so that the recovery from their experiences encompasses the person physically and psychosocially.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: primary goal of all forms of therapy is not just prolonging life, but improving the quality of life, has forced analysis of what constitutes quality of life, a concept whose structure pervades all walks of life and eludes definition. Global well being, happiness, morale, vitality, fullness of social life, and satisfaction must be integrated and assessed for the effects of the disease and the therapy, in the context of specific personality traits, attitudes to life, family situation, and socio-economic and political freedom. A growing inter est in research on this subject has led to a clearer understanding of the components which come to determine quality of a patient's life, and how they can be measured in a reproducible manner so that valid comparisons can be made. Keeping these recommendations of analysing quality of life within the context of patients who have undergone open heart surgery, it seemed appro priate to me to separate the influence of various forms of open heart surgery into five aspects of life which can comprehensively reflect the quality of life outcome of the operation. These five 'components' are (1) Physiological state, which summarises the traditionally reported incidence of operative mortality and morbidity, objectively and subjectively measured physical ca pacity, and the residual symptoms, treatment and long-term survival. (2) Intellectual functioning relates to the psychoneurolgocial deficit in memory, reasoning or judgement because of cerebral microembolism and hypo perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass.

This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rehabilitation psychology is one of the fastest growing fields in applied psychology and involves the application of psychological knowledge and skills to the understanding and treatment of individuals with physical disabilities. Rehabilitation psychologists aim to optimize outcomes in terms of health, independence, and daily functioning while also minimizing secondary health problems. The Oxford Handbook of Rehabilitation Psychology provides background and overview of the associated psychological processes and types of interventions that are critical in managing the consequences of disability and chronic disease. Psychological models and research have much to contribute to those working with the physical disabilities; this volume has a broad cognitive behavioral focus within the general banner of the biopsychosocial framework. The editor has successfully brought together contributions from a range of well-established and experienced researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of clinical and academic contexts. They highlight the critical psychological aspects, review applied interventions, and consider the wider conceptual, clinical and professional themes associated with disability and society.
