This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effects of music therapy on pain, anxiety and present and future psychosocial perceptions of cardiac patients. Forty-eight men and women admitted to cardiac progressive care unit of a local regional medical center served as subjects for the study. Subjects were assigned to one of three groups. Sixteen subjects received relaxation and imagery paired with live music, sixteen subjects received literature, and sixteen subjects received no intervention. Pre- and Post intervention data included pain medication intake and a self-report questionnaire concerning pain, anxiety, and present and future psychosocial perceptions. Patients in the music group were given a relaxation tape, which involved relaxation exercises and imagery, paired with music. Patients were called one week after discharge and given the questionnaire once more. Patients were also asked about their pain medication intake. Results from the study were collected and analyzed. The results revealed the music group scored significantly lower on the pre posttest questionnaire involving pain, anxiety and present and future perceptions. A difference was found in the groups' pre/post medication intake but results were not significant. The analysis found that the music group had significantly lower scores on the questionnaire one-week post discharge. The music group also had a significantly lower level of pain medication one-week post discharge. It was concluded that music therapy interventions are beneficial to subjects in a post-operative setting.

Download or read book Neurological and Mental Disorders written by Kaneez Fatima Shad and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental disorders can result from disruption of neuronal circuitry, damage to the neuronal and non-neuronal cells, altered circuitry in the different regions of the brain and any changes in the permeability of the blood brain barrier. Early identification of these impairments through investigative means could help to improve the outcome for many brain and behaviour disease states.The chapters in this book describe how these abnormalities can lead to neurological and mental diseases such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), anxiety disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and personality and eating disorders. Psycho-social traumas, especially during childhood, increase the incidence of amnesia and transient global amnesia, leading to the temporary inability to create new memories.Early detection of these disorders could benefit many complex diseases such as schizophrenia and depression.

Download or read book Handbook of Psychocardiology written by Marlies Alvarenga and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook brings together the full weight of contemporary evidence bearing on what is now commonly termed “psycho-cardiology”. It focuses on the role of psycho-social factors in the genesis and clinical management of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The book constitutes a critically reviewed compendium of current knowledge in the area, coupled with guides to evidence-based best practice in the field of psycho-cardiology. The following categories are covered: Social/demographic risk for CVD, Personality and CVD risk, Stress and CVD risk, Psychopathology (particularly affective disorders) and CVD risk, The psychological management of those with clinical CVD, Psychology in the prevention of CVD. The book integrates the evidence into a compelling argument that clinicians, researchers and those in public health will discount the role of psychological factors in regard to CVD at their own peril. And importantly for clinicians charged with the care of patients with CVD, the book poses the argument that failure to recognize the links between psychological factors and CVD may well be at the considerable peril of those patients under their care.
