Abstract:

IntroductionThere is a high degree of comorbidity between serious mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorders (SUD) and cardiovascular disorders. Other life-style related disorders are also common in patients with SMI and SUD. Consequently, comorbidity with somatic diseases contributes to a dramatic reduction in life-expectancy for these patient groups. Physical training has been shown to have positive effects also for mental health, but there has been little systematic use of physical training as part of the treatment for patients suffering from SMI and SUD in Norwegian health care.ObjectivesTo present a new project on physical training for patients suffering from SMI and SUD.MethodsWe briefly describe a project in a major Norwegian hospital, where physical exercise will be offered as part of the treatment for patients suffering from SMI and SUD.ResultsThe Division for Substance Use and Mental Health now offers an exercise room for inpatients at the main clinic in Tromsø, Norway. The exercise room contains various equipment including treadmills and equipment for strength training. This facility has recently been made available and is currently being used by a selection of patients. A study of user experiences is forthcoming and a systematic study of effects of physical exercise for patients suffering from SMI and SUD is being planned.ConclusionsPhysical exercise has been shown to have positive effects also on mental health. In one major Norwegian hospital, facilities are now offered for inpatients suffering from SMI or SUD. The effects of physical exercise on patients with SMI and SUD will be examined.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Abstract:

Purpose The alleviation of suffering is a central goal of palliative care, but little research has addressed the construct of suffering as a global experience of the whole person. We inquired into the sense of suffering among patients with advanced cancer to investigate its causes and correlates. Patients and Methods Semistructured interviews were administered to 381 patients. The interviews inquired about physical symptoms, social concerns, psychological problems, and existential issues. We also asked, “In an overall, general sense, do you feel that you are suffering?” Results Almost half (49.3%) of respondents did not consider themselves to be suffering, and 24.9% felt that they suffered only mildly. However, 98 participants (25.7%) were suffering at a moderate-to-extreme level. The latter participants were more likely to experience significant distress on 20 of the 21 items addressing symptoms and concerns; the highest correlations were with general malaise (rho [ρ]= 0.56), weakness (ρ = 0.42), pain (ρ = 0.40), and depression (ρ = .39). In regression analyses, physical symptoms, psychological distress, and existential concerns, but not social issues, contributed to the prediction of suffering. In qualitative narratives, physical problems accounted for approximately half (49.5%) of patient reports of suffering, with psychological, existential, and social concerns accounting for 14.0%, 17.7%, and 18.8%, respectively. Conclusion Many patients with advanced cancer do not consider themselves to be suffering. For those who do, suffering is a multidimensional experience related most strongly to physical symptoms, but with contributions from psychological distress, existential concerns, and social-relational worries.

Abstract:

This article offers the argument that suffering (yisurin) in the Babylonian Talmud functions as a locus for the relationship between God and rabbinic Jews. Scholars of rabbinic martyrdom and asceticism have tended to claim that the Talmud's positive portrayal of suffering is a theodical apology for unexplained evil in the world. However, the article argues that the Talmud—in contrast to earlier rabbinic texts—presents suffering as spiritually relevant not primarily to justify preexisting suffering, but rather to develop a site at which to interpret information about an individual's spiritual status. The article draws on theories of sacrifice's structure and function, in conjunction with close analysis of rabbinic texts that relate suffering to sacrifice. The pericope at the core of the article's argument demonstrates a strikingly technical approach to the human experience of suffering, describing four examples of yisurin in which no real physical suffering occurs; in each instance the “victim” experiences extremely mild discomfort at most, and at the least barely registers an experience of inconvenience. Nonetheless, these experiences all qualify as “suffering,” and are thus still understood to bear indisputable soteriological import. Physical suffering in the Talmud is thus open for interpretation, yielding information about the status of the sufferer's spiritual self. Human suffering is viewed as religiously desirable in both late rabbinic and early Christian literatures. By developing an understanding of its hermeneutical function for the rabbis, this article helps to elucidate the value of suffering for rabbinic literature as a subset of late antique religious discourse.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Suffering is a universal multifaceted phenomenon hard to define and often connected to pain. Suffering is not a homogeneous concept. Instead, suffering is a diffused term that includes innumerable ways of dealing with depression, pain, loss, and adversity. Suffering is described as a response or behavior recognized by introspection or observation of the behavior of the person and his/her environment. Objective: The purpose of this article is to describe the role of the advanced nurse practitioners when dealing with the construct of suffering and to present a review of literature related to the human suffering experience. Methods: The CINAHL Complete, PubMed, One Search, MEDLINE, PsychInfo, ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global databases were search using the keywords suffering, experiences, meanings and perceptions of suffering. Search limits included peer-reviewed articles published in the English language from 1980 to 2016. Results: A total of nine qualitative and five quantitative studies were reviewed. Three major themes were identified: the dimensions of suffering (physical, psychological, social, existential and ethical), enduring suffering and measuring human suffering, and perceiving another’s suffering by using reliable and valid instruments.

Abstract:

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients who display or report pain that is deemed incongruent and anatomically non-conforming relative to known organic impairment and expected symptomatology have been found to have a poorer outcome to medical treatment and rehabilitation, and to use health care resources excessively. The present investigation sought to contrast CLBP patients who displayed either multiple non-organic physical signs, multiple inappropriate symptoms, and/or anatomically incongruent pain drawings with a control CLBP patient sample in which these criteria were absent. A total of 80 CLBP patients, 40 with 'medically incongruent' pain and 40 'control' pain patients, completed as part of their assessment at a back pain clinic, a psychometric battery, a physical examination, a videotaped sequence of motor movements and positions, and an assessment with an experimental pressure pain induction task. Videotaped pain behavior observations and transcribed reports of cognitions during the pain induction were coded independently of pain group status. Dependent measures and other patient variables were subjected to 2 X 2 (pain group by sex) MANOVAs and appropriate univariate analyses. While there were no interaction effects in these analyses, and only minimal effects for sex, there were a number of significant effects for pain group. No differences emerged between pain groups on demographic, pain history, financial disincentives, or medication consumption, but self report and physical examination measures of physical limitation were higher in the incongruent pain group. The incongruent pain group also received higher scores on measures of pain intensity and depression, received higher global judgment ratings of pain, displayed more ambulatory/postural pain behavior, and reported more dysfunctional cognitions during pain experiences than the control group. When physical impairment/limitation was introduced as a covariate in MANCOVAs on the dependent variables, incongruent pain patients emerged as significantly different from control pain patients on the cognitive variables, but behavioral and self-report differences failed to emerge as significant. A discriminant analysis revealed that sense of control during the experimental task was the most important discriminator between the groups. These results highlight the role of cognition in CLBP patients who present with medically incongruent pain signs and support the idea that physically based interventions may fail with these patients because dysfunctional cognitive mediation of pain may not be altered. These results also suggest that these patients may be better conceptualized as being ineffective and overwhelmed in their attempts to cope with their chronic pain condition.

Abstract:

Background: Children who suffer from cancer do not only suffer from a physical illness, they are also affected on a psychological level. There is a great lack of knowledge about how healthcare workers can promote mental health during and after cancer treatment. Studies show that most childhood cancer survivors suffer from extreme fatigue, poorer quality of life, emotional problems such as anxiety and depression but also post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Aim: The aim of this literature study was to investigate how mental health can be promoted during and after cancer treatment. Method: A general literature study with 16 quantitative articles. Results: Promoting mental health can be done in several ways: with physical activity, early detection of emotional symptoms and through alternative treatments. A number of health interventions can also be helpful such as psychological support and hospital clowns but mostly physical activity. Conclusion: There is a lot of health interventions that can promote mental health. Physical activity is the most researched subject that has been shown to have a strong connection to mental health. However, more research is needed on alternative treatments, as they have shown to have a positive effect on mental health.

Mestrado Acadêmico em Ciências do Cuidado em Saúde
Trabalhadores do segmento de alimentação estão expostos a situações que podem alterar sua saúde por condições inadequadas de trabalho, por problemas de ambiente, processos de trabalho e por equipamentos e insumos provavelmente adquiridos nas licitações. Considerando estes aspectos, o presente estudo objetivou identificar os insumos e equipamentos adquiridos nas licitações que ocasionam provável sofrimento no trabalho; descrever os mecanismos utilizados por este sujeito, de forma defensiva e/ou criativa, quanto à existência de possíveis sofrimentos relacionados aos produtos adquiridos nas licitações e analisar a relação entre necessidades laborais dos trabalhadores de Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição e os insumos e equipamentos licitados, que implicam na psicodinâmica do trabalho, visando minimizar seu possível sofrimento. Estudo de abordagem exploratória, descritiva, qualitativa que seguiu a partir de pressupostos metodológicos de um estudo de caso, tendo como sujeitos quarenta trabalhadores de um restaurante universitário, Niterói – RJ. A coleta de dados ocorreu por observação direta não participativa com registros em diário de campo e fotográfico e entrevista semiestruturada individual com perguntas sobre condições de trabalho. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se o software ALCESTE, que é uma técnica computadorizada e também uma metodologia de análise lexical de conteúdo, baseada nas coocorrências. Os dados obtidos foram triangulados e confrontados com as concepções de sofrimento no trabalho de Christophe Dejours. Como resultados desta pesquisa 28 entrevistados eram do gênero masculino e 12 do feminino, idade variou entre 46 e 55 anos, 13 servidores públicos e 27 contratados, admitidos há mais de 36 meses na unidade, com jornada de trabalho de 8 horas/diárias no período da manhã, desenvolvida majoritariamente nos setores de pré-preparo de vegetais e distribuição de refeições. Na observação verificou-se que os trabalhadores elaboram estratégias defensivas visando minimizar o sofrimento laboral. A análise do ALCESTE dividiu o corpus em sete classes, destas classes emergiram quatro categorias, a saber: Percepção do trabalhador acerca de utilização de uniforme, touca e calçado e a participação do trabalhador em opinar nas aquisições de seus instrumentos de trabalho; Percepção do trabalhador acerca de utilização de Equipamento de Proteção Individual; Necessidades e dificuldades laborais e estratégias defensivas/criativas dos trabalhadores e Dificuldades laborais e Doenças ocupacionais de trabalhadores de Unidade de Alimentação e Nutrição. As categorias apresentadas discutem as condições de trabalho, os incômodos/sofrimentos dos trabalhadores, seus problemas de saúde, além da realização de estratégias defensivas/criativas para desvencilhar-se do sofrimento. Conclui-se que ocorre sofrimento laboral dos trabalhadores na unidade pesquisada e que esta situação leva à elaboração, por parte dos trabalhadores, de estratégias defensivas para suportarem as condições adversas de trabalho e que muitas de suas necessidades para o exercício de suas funções poderão ser atendidas pelos processos licitatórios. Este estudo pode contribuir para uma condição favorável de trabalho e de saúde dos trabalhadores e estimular o desenvolvimento de futuras pesquisas referentes à licitação e ambiente laboral.
Workers of the segment are alimentation exposed to situations that can change your health for poor working conditions, problems of environment, work processes and equipment and supplies probably acquired in bidding. Considering these aspects , the present study aimed to identify the inputs and equipment acquired at auctions, likely to cause pain at work; describe the mechanisms used by this subject, and/or creative defensively, as to the possible existence of the suffering related products acquired at auctions and analyze the relationship between labor needs of workers Food and Nutrition Unit and the inputs and equipment procured, implying the psychodynamics of work in order to minimize their possible suffering. Exploratory qualitative study approach, descriptive, which followed from methodological assumptions of a case study, having forty workers as subjects in a university restaurant, Niterói - RJ. Data collection occurred by direct non-participative observation with records in a field diary and photographic and individual semi-structured interviews with questions about working conditions. For data analysis we used the ALCESTE software, which is a computerized technique and also a methodology of lexical content analysis, based on co-occurrences. Data were triangulated and compared with concepts of suffering in the work of Christophe Dejours. The results of this survey respondents were 28 males and 12 females, age ranged between 46 and 55 years, 13 civil servants and 27 contractors, admitted more than 36 months in the unit, with workday of 8 hours/day during the morning, mostly developed in the pre - prepare vegetables and meal distribution sectors. The observation it was found that workers elaborate defensive strategies to minimize labor pain. The analysis of the corpus ALCESTE divided into seven classes, these classes emerged four categories, namely: Perception worker about using uniform, cap and shoes and worker participation in opine on purchase of their tools; Worker's perception about the use of Personal Protective Equipment; Needs and labor difficulties and defensive/creative workers and Strategies - labor difficulties and occupational diseases of workers from the Food and Nutrition Unit. The categories shown discussing working conditions, disturbances/sufferings of workers, their health problems, in addition to conducting defensive/creative strategies to extricate himself from suffering. Labor occurring suffering of workers in the unit researched and it is concluded that this situation leads to the elaboration, by workers of defensive strategies to withstand the harsh conditions of work and that many of their needs for the exercise of their functions may be met the bidding process. This study may contribute to a favorable working condition and health of workers and stimulate the development of future research regarding bidding and work environment.

This paper has the objective of showing the relationships between illness / handicap and sin, and between health and cure, trough a research with mothers of children with Cerebral Palsy from a rehabilitation center in this city. This research discusses the imaginary that involves the birth of a son / daughter and the changes that a birth of a child with Cerebral Palsy can cause in the life of those people. These mothers goes to a process of changes in their ethos, search for the meaning of the misfortune that got them using Theodicee and others rationalizations connected with the ways of divine pedagogy that involves the religious imaginary.

Abstract:

AbstractEven in patients suffering from severe physical diseases such as cancer, the request for euthanasia is often motivated by mental reasons: they consider that their life no longer has meaning, are afraid of future suffering or to be a burden for their family and are discouraged because they have to abandon some activities. Therefore, the request for euthanasia more often emerges in isolated or depressed cancer patients. On the other hand, physical suffering can often be controlled with medication, and if refractory, with palliative sedation.Should a lethal injection be the solution that we offer to the emotional despair of cancer patients? What other solutions can be offered? Where can we find the necessary resources to respond to mental and existential suffering? The theories of Viktor Frankl seem to be a good starting point since this psychiatrist devoted his entire career to empirical research on the meaning of life. Frankl’s logotherapy was developed in part in peculiar circumstances of severe suffering: during his deportation to Auschwitz. Frankl’s theories as well as his personal experience show us in an empirical way how mankind can find the meaning of life despite, or sometimes as a consequence of situations of severe suffering.

Abstract:

AbstractSince the Oregon Death with Dignity Act was adopted in 1997, an increasing number of people have requested euthanasia, showing that life has become unbearable for them. However, a person who expresses the wish to die by euthanasia is not saying that he/she prefers death to life, but rather that death seems preferable to life under the actual circumstances. In order to respond to a person’s suffering, we need to understand the nature of that suffering, as they experience it. Suffering may be physical, psychological, relational, spiritual, or existential; frequently these different aspects overlap or intermingle, particularly in a serious illness. Euthanasia does not improve life—it ends it by giving death. But when the response involves listening and accepting the person in his/her present situation, it becomes possible to work together with the person to see what can be done to help reduce suffering. We can look for means of relief for the person’s individual, unique suffering, in partnership with the patient and his/her family and friends, using the resources of both medical knowledge and our shared humanity. The willingness to walk on this shared path with the sick person is in itself an affirmation of his/her human dignity.

Abstract:

AbstractI have been working as a cancer specialist since 1984, and I have witnessed an explosion of therapeutic possibilities. In caring for my fellow human beings, I have learned to recognize the effectiveness and the extent of my treatments, but also their limits, which are closely connected to the reality of the human condition that is so rich but naturally limited. As he strives for the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being of the sick person who seeks his help, the doctor stands at the patient’s side to combat pain and suffering with determination, perseverance, humility, and patience.

Abstract:

AbstractBased on evidence and theory, we state that facilitating and supporting people’s meaning-making processes are health promoting. Hence, meaning-in-life is a salutogenic concept.Authors from various disciplines such as nursing, medicine, psychology, philosophy, religion, and arts argue that the human search for meaning is a primary force in life and one of the most fundamental challenges an individual faces. Research demonstrates that meaning is of great importance for mental as well as physical well-being and crucial for health and quality of life. Studies have shown significant correlations between meaning-in-life and physical health measured by lower mortality for all causes of death; meaning is correlated with less cardiovascular disease, less hypertension, better immune function, less depression, and better coping and recovery from illness. Studies have shown that cancer patients who experience a high degree of meaning have a greater ability to tolerate bodily ailments than those who do not find meaning-in-life. Those who, despite pain and fatigue, experience meaning report better quality-of-life than those with low meaning. Hence, if the individual finds meaning despite illness, ailments, and imminent death, well-being, health, and quality-of-life will increase in the current situation. However, when affected by illness and reduced functionality, finding meaning-in-life might prove more difficult. A will to search for meaning is required, as well as health professionals who help patients and their families not only to cope with illness and suffering but also to find meaning amid these experiences. Accordingly, meaning-in-life is considered a vital salutogenic resource and concept.The psychiatrist Viktor Emil Frankl’s theory of “Will to Meaning” forms the basis for modern health science research on meaning; Frankl’s premise was that man has enough to live by, but too little to live for. According to Frankl, logotherapy ventures into the spiritual dimension of human life. The Greek word “logos” means not only meaning but also spirit. However, Frankl highlighted that in a logotherapeutic context, spirituality is not primarily about religiosity—although religiosity can be a part of it—but refers to a specific human dimension that makes us human. Frankl based his theory on three concepts: meaning, freedom to choose and suffering, stating that the latter has no point. People should not look for an inherent meaning in the negative events happening to them, or in their suffering, because the meaning is not there. The meaning is in the attitude people choose while suffering from illness, crises, etc.

Abstract:

Essential Tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder among adults. This paper presents a device to induce the effects of ET in the wrists and hands of otherwise healthy research participants for use in inclusive design studies. The device, called “The HandShake,” reproduces the functional impairment of ET sufferers on design study participants. Existing solutions can require complex or expensive equipment. The HandShake uses a novel low-cost system based around a single RC servo. Users of the device in validation testing were found to be impaired in a manner similar to ET sufferers. This tool is intended to aid future inclusive design research regarding upper extremity disabilities. We present results regarding the validity of the simulated tremors versus data from those suffering with ET.

Abstract:

Quality parameters of six maize hybrids created at the Maize Research Institute Zemun Polje were investigated in this study. Physical properties, kernel structure, and chemical composition of one yellow dent standard and five specialty maize hybrids of different grain color were analyzed. Whole-grain maize flour is naturally gluten-free which makes it suitable for persons suffering from celiac disease. Fiber, protein, and oil make maize grain an essential component for animal feed production. All maize hybrids showed favorable processing and nutritive characteristics which make them highly suitable for different uses.

Abstract:

Background: spasticity affects up to 90% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, being a major cause of disability. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) appears to be a potential treatment, but literature is scarce. Objectives: to evaluate the effects of combined rTMS and physical therapy for spasticity in MS patients. Methods: relapsing-remitting MS patients suffering from lower limb spasticity were included. The rTMS protocol consisted of 20 sessions of 18 trains of 50 stimuli at 5Hz and at 100% of rest potential threshold, with 10 seconds per train and 40 second pauses, amounting for 900 pulses (15 minutes) with a Neurosoft- MS/D double coil. Optimal coil positioning was determined by motor responses in the contralateral soleus muscle. The physical therapy protocol included active exercising – stationary bicycle, step climbing with partial weight suspension – followed by mild gradual resistance exercising for knee extension and hip and foot flexion, proprioceptive exercises and active stretching. The primary outcome was improvement on the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score at baseline and 4 weeks after treatment. Results: five female patients were recruited. At the 4-week follow-up, 4 out the 5 patients had a significant improvement regarding spasticity. There was a reduction in mean MAS score from 2.30 to 1.42. Patient 1 had a MAS score reduction from 2 to 1 (50%). Patient 2 from 3 to 1 (66%), patient 3 from 4 to 3 (25%) and patient 4 from 0.5 to 0.125 (75%). Conclusion: combined rTMS and physical therapy protocols presents as a beneficial treatment modality for MS spasticity.

Abstract:

The number of people who are suffering from Functional gastrointestinal disorders is increasing. There are, however, rare diagnostic methods for the functional gastrointestinal disorders because functional disorders show no evidence of organic and physical causes [1, 2]. Recently our research group identified that the gastrointestinal tract well in the patients with the functional gastrointestinal disorders is more rigid than healthy people. we noticed it with palpating the abdominal regions overlaying the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore we developed a system to detect the rigid organs with ultrasonic technique, which can quantify the characteristic above related to the rigidity of the gastrointestinal tract well.
