Full textAbstract:
In order to identify any pattern of psychological reactions to illness associated with later death, interview material from a sample of chronically ill people who died within months of being interviewed was compared with similar material from a sample of chronically ill people who did not die, as well as from a group of healthy people who did not die. The samples were matched for sex and age, and, where appropriate, for degree of disability and type of chronic illness. The comparisons were made by means of content analysis scales which were applied to a recorded segment of the interviews. A characteristic pattern of reactions among the chronically ill people who were later to die was established. This pattern included little uncertainty or directly expressed anger but much depression, guilt, and fear of bodily damage, together with many good feelings. In personal construct psychology terms, their construct systems were enabling them to anticipate what was happening to them more effectively than might have been expected.

Full textAbstract:
Many earlier studies have contributed to a general understanding of the symptoms and signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet very little is known about the transition from a healthy to a chronically sick individual. The scope of this study was to understand how people live with their chronic illness, using Grounded Theory¹. Twenty-two participants with COPD were interviewed. Findings revealed "the basic social process" of becoming sick with COPD: The significance of living with COPD; Stages of becoming a sick individual; Strategies for management of the process used by participants. The conclusion reached is that understanding the process of "becoming sick" from the person's perspective assists nurses to develop personalized interventions with individuals suffering from COPD, focussing on the subject of care.

Objectives: This study sought to (1) identify barriers to spousal support for chronic illness self-care among community-dwelling older adults; and (2) describe the potential availability of self-care support from adult children living outside of the household. Methods: Nationally representative US sample of chronically ill adults aged 51+ were interviewed as part of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 14,862). Both participants and their spouses (when available) reported information about their health and functioning. Participants also reported information about their contact with adult children and the quality of those relationships. Results: More than one-third (38%) of chronically ill older adults in the US are unmarried; and when spouses are available, the majority of them have multiple chronic diseases and functional limitations. However, the vast majority of chronically ill older adults (93%, representing roughly 60 million Americans) have adult children, with half having children living over 10 miles away. Most respondents with children (78%) reported at least weekly telephone contact and that these relationships were positive. Roughly 19 million older chronically ill Americans have adult children living at a distance but none nearby; these children are in frequent telephone contact and respondents (including those with multiple chronic diseases) report that the relationships are positive. Discussion: As the gap between available health services for disease management and the need among community-dwelling patients continues to grow, adult children—including those living at a distance—represent an important resource for improving self-care support for people with chronic diseases.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Pain and depression, two of the common symptoms among chronically ill older adults, have been found to be related in various populations; however, further knowledge is needed about their relationships and moderating factors among community-dwelling, chronically ill older adults, particularly in lower-income, rural areas with limited healthcare resources. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between pain level and depression among chronically ill older adults in rural areas. A total of 100 residents of a rural county in West Alabama, who are 55+ and have chronic illnesses and pain, were recruited from four community senior centers and were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Pain levels were assessed by the Philadelphia Geriatric Center (PGC) Pain Scale, and depression by an abbreviated version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Bivariate correlation and multivariate analysis were conducted. The correlation between pain and depression was significantly positive (r = .35, p < .001). The results of the model indicated that pain scores and other control variables explained approximately 18 percent of the variance in depression. The multivariate analysis results confirmed that those who had higher pain scores were significantly likely to have increased depression scores (b = 4.97, SE = 1.52, p < .01). Education marginally significantly moderated the relationship between pain and depression (p = .059). The previously reported positive pain-depression relationship exists among chronically ill older adults in rural areas, calling for tailored interventions to reduce their pain and its impact on depression.

Abstract Families of children with asthma have to shoulder immense burdens as part of care, and yet the social science literature on their experiences is not well developed or up-to-date. As part of a class project in Anthropology and Public Health, we interviewed eleven parents about their experiences with a chronically ill child and uncovered important themes about emotions, learning, assessments of risk, and control. We assert that asking parents about their experiences providing and monitoring and care can provide important data that could inform asthma management programs in the establishment of better support, education, and care.

1 This study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the impact on health produced by the use of different types of pesticides in greenhouses. It is based on the need to practice and develop biological monitoring techniques to assess exposure and predict health risk in workers occupationally exposed to pesticides. 2 Two groups of greenhouse workers with either high or low exposure to a combination of pesticides was taken in Almeria, a Spanish province where cultures under plastic are very extended. 3 One hundred and five sprayers were interviewed to collect information about symptoms and signs related to past exposures. Each pesticide sprayer was exam ined by a physician, and a blood sample was drawn for plasma and red blood cell cholinesterases, complete blood count, and liver and renal function tests. 4 Exposure of workers to a combination of pesticides resulted in 37% of the workers showing toxic signs and symptoms. The main toxic effects observed were a high incidence of spontaneous abortion, depression, and certain neurologic disorders like headache, tremor and paraesthesia. 5 The major analytical change was a decrease of the mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration in 38% of the cases. However, no significant decrease in both serum and erythrocyte cholinesterase activities was observed. 6 The sprayers were not usually aware of the potential hazards of pesticides and did not try their best to maintain personal hygiene.

Full textAbstract:
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is becoming increasingly popular in North America. The use of CAM is also popular in patients with chronic liver disease but is not well documented. The extent of use of CAM in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients was determined, and the demographic and clinical data between users and nonusers of CAM was compared.Seventy-six patients (30% female) with chronic HCV were interviewed. The mean age was 43±8 years. Current use of CAM for HCV was reported by 35 of 76 patients (46%). Eighteen of 76 patients within this group used herbal supplements (24%). The most commonly used herb wasSilybum marianum(milk thistle), reported by 10 of 76 patients (13.2%). Commonly reported benefits of CAM use included reduction in fatigue, boost in the immune system and improved gastrointestinal function. No adverse effects of CAM use were reported. In the present study, four of 18 patients (22%) with chronic liver disease taking herbal therapies were on herbs that increased bleeding time.The use of CAM in chronic HCV patients is significant. Patients should be asked specifically about their use of CAM. CAM use may have implications affecting conventional treatment and management of HCV.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWe examined the role of a history of sexual abuse as a predictor of child maltreatment by adolescent mothers in a prospective study of 104 mother-child dyads. Mothers were interviewed about any experienced abuse, and the mother-child dyads were observed in a teaching interaction and in the Strange Situation when the children were 1 year old. Three and a half years later, the mothers were interviewed about their Child Protective Service (CPS) contacts since the birth of their children. The percentage of mothers reporting CPS contacts for their own children was 15.4%, 38.5%, and 83.3%, respectively, for those mothers with no history of sexual abuse, a history of a single incident or brief duration of sexual abuse, and those mothers with a history of chronic sexual abuse (median 24 months duration; test of increasing trend significant atp< .000009). Mothers who reported having been chronically sexually abused as children were significantly more likely to have CPS contacts for their own children, after controlling for history of physical abuse, quality of early teaching interactions, and infant attachment security (both of which also predicted CPS contacts), race, IQ, welfare status at 1 year postpartum, and history of foster care.

Aging population in Lithuania determinates the demand for integrated services, oriented in solving problems of senior, disable citizens and growing needs of home nursing. At the present time, Lithuania are only at the beginning of analysis for demand of integrated health care as well as nursing and psychosocial services for long care patients. Although more and more attention are paid for management of providing integrated nursing and psychosocial help for chronically ill patients at home, the real patient care burden still lies with patients family. The lack of attention for the needs of patient’s relatives in health care and psychosocial services was noticed. Public institution Centro poliklinika is the almost the only institution in Vilnius, providing integrated home nursing, palliative medicine and social services. This article assess the integrated nursing and psychosocial services demands for Centro poliklinika chronically ill patients and their relatives. The survey was conducted in 2013, by implementing public health program “Ensuring of safe environment at home for patients and social, psychological and spiritual help for their relatives”. 431 chronic severe disease patients with a specific set of permanent nursing or palliative care needs, as well as 220 of their family members were interviewed. It was found that the chronically ill, long term home nursed patients need an integrated comprehensive support and care provided by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, using a specific patient case management principles in organizing and providing diverse on the individual patient and his family members‘ needsoriented services. Psychosocial services are not organized for the patient‘s relatives in Lithuania, however, study has showed that patients‘ family members who are constantly taking care of them, particularly needs recreational services allowing them to rest from the day to day care of the patient.

Introduction: Medication errors are more likely to occur in chronically ill children, who are highly dependent on caregivers for medication administration. This study aimed to explore the issues related to medication safety among pediatric outpatients in Malaysia from the caregivers’ perspective. Methods: This was a qualitative study conducted between May and June 2018 at a pediatric clinic of a regional referral hospital. Caregivers of children who (1) were under 6 years of age and (2) had hypothyroidism, epilepsy, thalassemia, asthma, or other chronic diseases were recruited via purposive sampling. Each selected disease was represented by at least 3 caregivers, who were identified from the medical records of their children. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with each of them, facilitated by a semi-structured interview guide. All the interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the thematic analysis approach. Results: A total of 15 mothers with a median age of 34 years were interviewed. Three themes emerged from the interviews: (I) actual experiences with medication errors, (II) underlying risk factors for medication errors, and (III) recommendations to improve medication safety. Several cases of administration errors, including missed doses and self-decided dose adjustment, were detected. Furthermore, the caregivers were found to have inadequate understanding of the medications in general. Conclusions: While children were shown to be consistently exposed to medication errors at home in Malaysia, the recommendations of the caregivers, including the use of written instructions and a diary, could be effective strategies to improve the out-of-hospital medication safety in children.

Full textAbstract:
The intent of this study was to examine the perceived resources and obstacles which were related to the utilization of mental health services by chronically mentally ill Mexican American clients. Specifically, the study identified resources and obstacles encountered by six chronically mentally ill clients and six family members as they accessed various mental health services. The study was conducted in the fall of 1985 from clients currently receiving services from La Frontera Center, Inc., Tucson, Arizona. Data were interpreted through content analysis to conceptualize and categorize client and family member responses. Chronically mentally ill clients relied heavily on individuals such as friends, therapist and priest as resources for mental health service support. In contrast, family members focused primarily on institutions for resource support. Financial resources, institutional policies, denial, and the lack of personal direction were listed as obstacles to seeking mental health services by clients and family members. Study results suggested that the perceptions of traditional and nontraditional obstacles and resources by Mexican American clients and family members continue to strongly influence utilization of mental health services In particular, the issue of "stigma" and the personal
qualities and abilities of the therapist emerged as significant descriptors in client and family member self statements.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most difficult determinations a psychiatrist makes is whether the chronically suicidal patient is at risk for suicide in the immediate future. The Suicidal Narrative is the first book to help clinicians evaluate the risk of imminent suicidal behavior. The book describes a theoretical framework for a systematic and comprehensive assessment of short-term suicide risk and also describes practical ways of conducting risk assessment interviews in different settings. The book is based on the narrative crisis model of suicide, which posits that individuals with trait vulnerability for suicide attempt suicide after they develop the suicide crisis syndrome when they feel that their life narrative has no acceptable future. This book first reviews current models of suicidal behavior and introduces the narrative crisis model of suicide. Next, it provides a comprehensive description of trait vulnerabilities followed by a discussion of stressful life events that may increase short-term suicide risk. The book’s core introduces the key concepts of the narrative crisis model of suicide—the suicidal narrative and suicide crisis syndrome—and addresses the clinical value of clinicians’ emotional responses to suicidal patients. Finally, the book provides practical guidance for conducting short-term suicide risk assessment and introduces current approaches to suicide risk reduction. The Suicidal Narrative is designed as a textbook and reference guide. The book contains more than 50 clinical case vignettes, detailed examples of risk assessment interviews, as well as test cases for self-assessment.

Full textAbstract:
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has meant that an increasing number of chronically ill people need ongoing assistance with care and support. Programs providing home-based care (HBC) services are a key component of the response to HIV/AIDS. However, few programs are using operations research, including cost studies, to decide what services to provide and how to structure their services. In 2004, the Horizons Program undertook a study of six HBC programs from different South African provinces to provide key information to NGOs, government ministries, donors, and the programs themselves to inform decisions about service delivery. The study analyzed the cost of HBC services, the best use of resources, and how well programs are able to meet the needs of beneficiaries and their families. The sample represents programs that operate in rural areas and informal settlements. This brief focuses on the coverage, organization, volume, and costs of the services and on findings from two of the methods of data collection: financial records and service statistics, and interviews with financial officers, program managers, and caregivers.
