Abstract:
Dementia is a chronic insidious disease that destroys the individual's cognitive, emotional and mental abilities. Ultimately, the individual is unable to appropriately verbalize basic wants and needs; therefore, behavioral symptoms become the way of communicating. Behavioral symptoms vary greatly from passivity to hostility and aggression. Unfortunately, due to the difficult task of caring for these individuals many families must place their loved ones in a long-term care facility for direct supervision. Long-term care facilities often use chemical restraints in order to treat the behavioral problems. Thus, with the use of pharmacologic restraints quality of care is diminished. This professional paper will discuss three alternative therapies that, through research studies, have been found to provide optimal quality of care for the individual with dementia. The three therapies that will be examined are Music Therapy, Snoezelen Therapy and Validation Therapy. These alternative therapies will be taught to staff in two nursing homes and one assisted living facility in a western community in Montana. The use of educational brochures and a multi sensory table will be used for the three in-services. There will be a telephone follow-up six months after the in-service to determine if any of the alternative therapies were used. The telephone follow-up revealed that there was a high degree of turnover with staff as well as administration. The results of the study established the need for ongoing in-services for alternative therapies due to the high turnover rate.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Depression och ångest är två vanliga folksjukdomar. Omkring 350 miljoner människor globalt beräknas vara drabbade av depression. Var fjärde människa upplever någon gång under sitt liv ångest. Depression och ångest orsakar tillsammans ett stort vårdbehov i Sverige och i övriga delar av världen. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva alternativ behandling vid depression och ångest hos vuxna samt att granska datainsamlingsmetoden i litteraturstudiens ingående artiklar. Metod: En litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design. Efter sökningar i PubMed och Cinahl identifierades 14 vetenskapliga artiklar. Dessa artiklar granskades utifrån föreliggande studies syfte och frågeställningar, och utgör resultatet i föreliggande studie. Huvudresultat: Huvudresultatet i denna litteraturstudie visade att det fanns fyra former av alternativ behandling. Dessa var Yoga, Mindfulness, Akupunktur samt Växter, kosttillskott och naturopatisk vård. Vid granskning av metodologiska aspekten framkom att enkäter använts i majoriteten av studierna. Även en semistrukturerad intervju kunde ses som datainsamlingsmetod. Slutsats: Föreliggande studies resultat visar att det finns fyra olika alternativa behandlingsformer som kan ha positiv effekt på depression och-/eller ångest. Dessa är; Yoga, Mindfulness, Akupunktur samt Växter, kosttillskott och naturopatisk vård. Sjuksköterskan har en viktig roll i vårdandet av patienter med depression och ångest. Det bör finnas ett intresse hos sjuksköterskan att ha kunskap om alternativ behandling, detta för att bland annat kunna optimera patientens omvårdnad och egenvård. Dock behövs mer forskning inom området alternativ behandling.<br>Background: Depression and anxiety are two common diseases. About 350 million people globally are calcuated to be affected by depression. Every fourth person will experience anxiety sometime in their lifes. Depression and anxiety cause together a large demand for care in Sweden and in other parts of the world. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe alternative therapies in adults with depression and anxiety and to examine the data acquisitions of the articles. Method: A literature review with descriptive design. After searching in the databases PubMed and Cinahl, 14 research articles were identified. These articles were examined by the aim and the issues, and compose the result of the present study. Results: The main result of this literature review showed four forms of alternative therapies. These were Yoga, Mindfulness, Acupuncture and Plants, supplements and naturopathic care. The examination of the methodological aspect showed that questionnaires were used in the majority of the studies. Also a semi-structured interview could be seen to collect data. Conclusion: The present study results show that there are four different forms of alternative therapies that can have a positivt effect on depression and-/or anxiety. These are; Yoga, Mindfulness, Acupuncture and Plants, supplements and naturopathic care. The nurse have an important role in caring of patients with depression and anxiety. Therefor the nurse should have an interest in the knowledge of alternative therapies, to optimate caring and self-care for patients. There’s a need of more research in the area of alternative therapies.

Abstract:
Cancer pain is a complex symptom that affects the quality of life of oncology patients, caregivers, and families. The limitations of pain management treatment for cancer patients can be attributed to the lack of knowledge and availability of nonpharmacological treatments. The purpose of this project was to identify and gather evidence on the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in the treatment of cancer pain using the methodology of a systematic review. Watson's theory of human caring supported the project by incorporating the perception of treating the human being holistically during the illness process. The Johns Hopkins nursing evidence-based practice model provided a structured approach to address the practice problem and practice-focused question. The tools used to assess the quality and synthesize the findings of the studies were the Research and Evidence Appraisal Tool and the Synthesis Process and Recommendations Tool. The practice-focused question explored whether nonpharmacological interventions could be used to complement opioid treatments for cancer pain. A systematic review of the literature indicated 11 studies in which 2 interventions--music therapy and exercise--addressed the practice-focused question. Psychological distress, decreased physical function, and decreased involvement in social activities can all be attributed to the poor management of cancer pain. The study of alternatives to opioids could support social change by increasing the knowledge of healthcare professionals and the range of treatment options for pain management in cancer patients.

Abstract:
Meeting patient expectations in relation to pain management is an essential component of palliative and end-of-life care. However, previous research has demonstrated that pain is highly prevalent, especially during the four months prior to death. Poorly controlled pain contributes to cognitive failure, depression and an inability to complete daily activities. Unfortunately, pain and symptom management are often inadequate for patients placed in hospice care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the perspectives of hospice nurses on complementary and alternative therapies to determine if there is an educational need in order to aide in the management of chronic pain in older adults. A survey was developed in order to determine the nursing perceptions of complementary and alternative therapies. A total of 24 participants were recruited. The survey targeted 28 complementary and alternative therapies most commonly used as defined by National Institute for Complementary and Alternative Medicines (NCCAM). Each therapy was ranked on several aspects including perceptions, personal experience, and present knowledge and training. After completing the survey it was found that all participants were either eager or open to use some complementary and alternative therapies in their workplace, in spite of having an educational barrier on how to implement them, and wanted these therapies to become available to patients, families, and staff.<br>B.S.N.<br>Bachelors<br>Nursing<br>Nursing

Abstract:
A música exerce efeitos diversos no nosso organismo como terapêutica complementar. Quando uma mãe tem um filho hospitalizado, sente-se insegura e com medo do futuro, gerando ansiedade. Este estudo objetivou verificar se o canto Gregoriano altera o estado de ansiedade de mães com filhos internados. Pesquisa do tipo descritiva, exploratória, correlacional com análise quantitativa, quase-experimental em uma unidade de internação de especialidades de hospital governamental de grande porte, pediátrico de atenção quaternária. A unidade é para atendimento a convenios empresariais, com 15 leitos ativos. Amostra inicial composta por 71 mães, sendo que 28 concluíram todas as etapas da coleta de dados. A mãe foi convidada, pessoalmente, a participar da pesquisa e após o aceite do convite, assinou o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido e preencheu o Inventário de Diagnóstico de Ansiedade Traço. Foram agendados dois encontros no quarto individual do próprio paciente para a realização da audição musical de canto Gregoriano com utilização de equipamento digital e uso de fones de ouvido. Também foram respondidos o formulário de identificação do sujeito da pesquisa contendo dados pessoais, dados relacionados ao filho internado e informações sonoro-musicais e o Inventário de Diagnóstico de Ansiedade Estado antes e após cada audição musical. A primeira audição musical foi com, no mínimo, 48 horas de internação e a segunda audição musical foi agendada 48 horas após a primeira. A pesquisadora permaneceu no quarto nos primeiros e nos últimos 5 minutos da audição musical das mães. Os dados foram armazenados em planilha Excel for Windows Explorer® e analisados em programa SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - Versão 18.0. Foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas através de: teste de normalidade (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), correlação de Pearson entre os escores da escala de ansiedade; análise de variância (ANOVA ONE WAY) para comparar os escores da escala de ansiedade; teste t de student para comparar as médias entre os escores e as variáveis sócio-demográficas. Adotado o nível de 5% de significância nas análises estatísticas. Na primeira audição musical verificou-se que 25(89,2%) mães tiveram seu estado de ansiedade diminuidos e na segunda audição musical, 25(89,2%) continuaram a ter seu estado de ansiedade diminuído. Apesar de não permitir generalizações devido o número limitado de mães participantes deste estudo, pôde-se concluir que a utilização do canto Gregoriano diminui o estado de ansiedade das mães de crianças hospitalizadas em um hospital pediátrico de atenção quaternária acomodados em quartos individuais. É necessário que se amplie o estudo dos estilos musicais para sua aplicabilidade na assistência de enfermagem com mães de crianças hospitalizadas.<br>The Music exerts different effects on our body, such as complement therapy. When the mother have hospitalized child feel insecurity and fear of the future, causing anxiety. This research aimed to verify if the Gregorian chant changes the state of anxiety of mothers with hospitalized children. Descriptive research, exploratory, correlational with quantitative analysis, almost-experimental, done in large-sized teaching hospital in units of quaternary care pediatric specialties, with 15 active beds, whose focus of attendance are business and individual agreements. Initial sample composed of 71 mothers, but only 28 mothers completed all stages of the data collection. Mothers were invited personally to participate in the study and after agreeing to sign the Informed Consent to fill the Diagnostic Inventory Trait Anxiety. Two meetings were scheduled in the patient bedroon individual, so they listened the Gregorian chant with the use of Digital Equipment and headphones. They were also answered the identification form the subject of the investigation that contains personal data relating to child boarding and sound-musical information and the Diagnostic Inventory State Anxiety before and after each listening session. The listening session was first with at least 48 hours of hospitalization and the second listening session was scheduled 48 hours after the fisrt. The researher stay in the room at the first and the last five minutes of music listening mothers. The datas were stored in Excel spreadsheet for Windows Explorer ® and analyzed in SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences - Version 18.0. Descriptive statistical analysis were carried out through: test of normality (Kolmogorov-Smirnov), Pearson correlation between the scores of the anxiety scale, analysis of variance (ANOVA - ONE WAY) to compare the scores of the anxiety scale; test t student to compare means between the scores and socio-demographic variables. Adopted 5% level of significance in statistical analysis. At the first listening session was verified that 25 (89.2%) mothers had decreased their anxiety state and the second listening session, 25 (89.2%) continued their state of anxiety decreased. Despite not allow generalizations due to the limited number of mothers participating in this study, so it was concluded that the use of Gregorian chant decreases anxiety of mothers with children hospitalized in quaternary care pediatric hospital accommodated in rooms individualized. It is necessary to broaden the study of musical styles to applicate in nursing care com mothers of hospitalized children.

Abstract:
The use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is now widespread and endeavours are increasingly being made to incorporate CAM into conventional healthcare and move towards Integrative Medicine (IM). To date research has primarily focused on the prevalence of use, and safety and efficacy of CAM; less is known about patients' experiences of and reasons for using specific therapies. While therapeutically diverse, it has been suggested that many CAM modalities share mutually referential ideologies and that people who use them may be motivated to do so by specific health beliefs. This study focuses on traditional acupuncture in a New Zealand context and investigates users' experiences and perceptions of the therapy, and discusses how personal health beliefs influence usage. A systematic review of relevant international qualitative research informed the main study, which was carried out using an interpretive phenomenological methodology (Heidegger's approach). Data was gathered from interviews with 12 participants who had recently received treatment from traditionally trained (non-biomedical) acupuncturists. Thematic analysis suggested that acupuncture was often sought for health conditions (typically of a chronic and benign nature) that are difficult to treat conventionally. Whereas initial access was primarily motivated by ineffective biomedical treatment, personal health beliefs-particularly subscription to holistic and vitalistic ideologies-often inspired more extensive and ongoing use. The therapeutic encounter was interpreted to contain many elements-other than needling-integral to treatment. Outcomes were perceived to be wide ranging, personal and necessarily subjective, and included the relief of symptoms, increased well-being, and changes to understandings and health behaviours. It is concluded that the attraction of acupuncture for patients and many of its perceived benefits lie in therapeutic components that are ultimately embedded in Chinese medicine (holistic) theories of health. A more pluralistic schema for assessing evidence may be necessary to acknowledge treatment outcomes that are meaningful to patients, and to accommodate the divergent ontologies and practice models of acupuncture, other CAMs and biomedicine. Increased interdisciplinary cooperation and communication is suggested as a means to improve patient safety and satisfaction and as a scenario for moving forward with IM.

Abstract:
Among Asian-American patients, complementary and alternative medicine is utilized at an exceedingly high rate alongside conventional medicine, due to it being more readily accessible and affordable. It is also a form of medicine that Asian people are more attuned to due to having been used for generations in their culture.1 Surveys conducted by Mackenzie et al., demonstrate that complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is reportedly used at a higher rate in females of Asian descent and amongst uninsured patients as well as with patients of a lower educational status. 2 In addition, multiple studies have also demonstrated that patients suffering from more than 1 chronic conditions tend to use CAM alongside their conventional therapies. 2, 3 CAM usage was also noted to be increased among individuals who had a financial earning of at least $75,000 yearly. 3 Based on the data, it is clear that Asian cultures place a heavy emphasis on traditional medical practices, whether they be herbal, Eastern, ayurvedic, or otherwise. A healthcare provider must be conscientious of these issues and spend more time understanding the patient’s viewpoint and in detailing the importance of why they must adhere with conventional therapies. In addition, a provider must also take into consideration potential side effects that may occur due to a combination of the two types of treatments. As Asian patients are less likely to report their use of traditional medications, the patient-physician relation must be strong in order for the physician to obtain the needed information and to treat the patient adequately.

Abstract:
The goal of the project is to develop an effective treatment planning computational tool for nanotube-mediated laser therapy that maximizes tumor destruction and minimizes tumor recurrence. Laser therapies can provide a minimally invasive treatment alternative to surgical resection of tumors. However, the effectiveness of these therapies is limited due to nonspecific heating of target tissue and diffusion limited thermal deposition which often leads to healthy tissue injury and extended treatment durations. These therapies can be further compromised due to induction of molecular chaperones called heat shock protein (HSP) in tumor regions where non-lethal temperature elevation occurs causing enhanced tumor cell viability and imparting resistance to chemotherapy and radiation treatments which are generally employed in conjunction with hyperthermia.
