Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the study of the role of government in shaping, support and development of Russia´s civil society institutions. by the authors E practical examples and using the theoretical and legal structures proved the leading role of the state in the formation of Russian civil society, which is based in Russia "from below", according to the classical western models, and "from above", taking into account the centuries-old traditions and the history of the Russian people and the Russian statehood. The state acts as the management system in relation to civil society as a managed system. However, civil society functions as a self-regulating social system, the determining state. The fact that civil society - self-regulating system, and at the same time controlled, there is no contradiction. The book will be of interest to lawyers, political scientists, sociologists, public servants, students, graduate students and faculty of liberal arts colleges and faculties, as well as all interested in the development of civil society in Russia and the role of the state in this process.

Full text

Abstract:

While drugs play a key role in reducing disease activity, non-pharmacological therapies are crucial in maintaining function, flexibility, and quality of life. Therefore, non-pharmacological therapy remains a key component in the optimal management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), even in the era of biologics. Regular physical therapy allows patients to capitalize on the benefits of drug therapy and maintain optimal functional ability. Self-management and education strategies, supported by patient-support groups, facilitate independence and quality of life in chronic diseases. A proportion of patients with severe disease may require hip or spinal surgery. It is hoped that the availability of more effective drug therapies to control disease activity in axSpA will reduce the requirement for surgery in future. The optimal management of axSpA requires a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments, for both initial and long-term management.

Full text

Abstract:

This book explores the theories and practices that help to facilitate self-management of chronic health conditions (also known as chronic impairments or chronic diseases). It consists of four parts, in addition to an introductory chapter and a chapter on defining self-management, for a total of 22 chapters. This book includes discussions about self-management models, psychological interventions, and collaborative care on both individual and systemic levels for the promotion of self-management. Self-management requires that individuals understand the range of symptoms related to their specific chronic impairment, what those symptoms may indicate, and what actions to take to address those symptoms. Healthcare providers are an integral part of providing self-management support (SMS) to these individuals. Self-management includes the micro-decisions that individuals with chronic health conditions make about their conditions and the macro-decisions (e.g., creating treatment plans) that healthcare providers make in collaboration with individuals with chronic health conditions. This book focuses on exploring a range of self-management practices that can empower individuals with chronic health conditions to be less dependent on healthcare systems and, ultimately, to be more in control of their lives.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter supplements Chapter 16 by emphasizing non-medication pain management techniques that have no need of a facilitator or intercessor beyond education and initiation. The successful management of chronic pain most often requires comprehensive approaches that include self-care and psychological, functional-restorative, and alternative-integrative approaches to complement medical treatments. Many patients with chronic pain lack access to integrated multidisciplinary care; under these circumstances, patient education and pain self-management may play a critical role in recovery, especially in the context of substance use disorders. Self-management or self-directed approaches may include psychological self-help, behavioral approaches, online support, group support, nutrition, graded exercise, the use of OTC devices (e.g., TENS), self-guided movement therapies, and other approaches. Sections on spirituality, sleep, and nutrition complete the foundation of self-directed therapies. The authors note that it is crucial to motivate patients and their families to become active participants in their own treatment process.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on internet-based pain self-management (IPSM) training for adults with chronic pain. Due to space limitations, it does not address programs directed toward children or adolescents or the burgeoning research on mobile technologies. The chapter discusses various definitions of self-management (SM) and proposes an organizing framework for the concept of SM. It examines barriers to traditional face-to-face pain SM training and the role of Internet-based training as a partial solution to the lack of care options for many. It does not reiterate the numerous excellent reviews of the efficacy of online pain SM programs. Those reviews provide support for the continued development and testing of such programs. The chapter’s focus is on the identification of strengths and weaknesses of extant technologies with an eye toward future improvements. The review of 27 IPSM programs reveals a number of important substantive and methodological issues.

Abstract:

Self-efficacy theory is one of the most researched topics in sport psychology. This chapter defines self-efficacy and provides an overview of the antecedents and outcomes of strong and weak self-efficacy. An overview of self-efficacy-based research in disability sport is also provided. Correlational work has demonstrated that athletes with strong self-efficacy, relative to athletes with weaker efficacy, have stronger psychological skills, less anxiety, more positive affect, and less negative affect and receive more social support from significant others. Imagery and self-talk are also related to self-efficacy providing theoretical support for these two antecedents. Athletes with strong training self-efficacy also tend to have strong performance self-efficacy. Research examining self-efficacy for pain management and the challenges of training is advocated as well as longitudinal research and intervention work. Similarly, work examining disability and disability sport–specific antecedents and outcomes of efficacy is called for, as is research into coach, team, and referee self-efficacy.

Full text

Abstract:

Pain and fatigue are the prominent problems for those with a rheumatic disease, and are often underestimated by clinicians. Symptoms may fluctuate in quality and intensity over time and commonly will vary over the course of a day. For pain, clinical signs and symptoms will be dependent on the source of the pain and whether causative underlying pathology is identifiable or not. Fatigue may range from mild effects to total exhaustion and may include cognitive and emotional elements, with a complex, probably multicausal, pathway. Theoretical knowledge of potential mechanistic pathways for pain and fatigue should be used to inform assessment and treatment approaches. Best practice recommends a multidisciplinary and holistic treatment approach with the patient an active participant in the planning of their care, and self-management. Many patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions will not achieve a pain-free or fatigue-free status. Medication use must therefore balance potential benefit against short- and long-term side effects. Rheumatology centres should offer specific fatigue and pain self-management support as part of routine care. Emphasis should be given to facilitating self-management strategies for both pain and fatigue to help the patient optimize their quality of life over years or a lifetime of symptoms. Interventions should include behaviour change and cognitive restructuring of pain/fatigue beliefs, as well as access to relevant self-help groups and charitable organizations. Referral for specialist advice from regional or national clinics on pain relief and management should be considered if pain interferes significantly with function or quality of life despite local interventions.

Full text

Abstract:

Although there is currently insufficient evidence to support meditation as a first-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the evidence base for meditation used adjunctively in the management of PTSD and related psychiatric comorbidities is rapidly expanding. The 2010 Veterans Administration/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) clinical practice guideline (CPG) for management of PTSD states that mind–body approaches may be considered adjunctive treatment for hyperarousal symptoms. Although several reviews support the conclusions reflected in the CPG, others suggest meditation interventions may be more useful in managing PTSD than originally speculated. Meditation may help reduce intrusive memories, avoidance, and anger; and increase self-esteem, pain tolerance, energy, and ability to relax and cope with stress. One comparative effectiveness review concluded that mindfulness meditation is beneficial in reducing psychological stress consequences, such as depression, pain, and mental health-related quality of life.

Full text

Abstract:

In the new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Neurorehabilitation all chapters have been updated to reflect advances in knowledge in the field of neurorehabilitation. It will be supplemented by additional chapters that reflect novel developments in the field of neurorehabilitation. During recent years there has been a strong evolution in the field of vocational rehabilitation with the aim of helping people after an injury of the nervous system to overcome the barriers and return to employment. A new chapter on self-management strategies deals with building confidence in individuals to manage the medical and emotional aspects of their condition. Furthermore, today the scientific basis for music supported therapy is a much broader to introduce it in this edition. New guidelines and consensus statements became established concerning preclinical research, biomarkers, and outcome measures, in both animal models and human beings. There are new data on attempts (e.g. using stem cells or Nogo antibodies) to restore function after spinal cord injury and stroke. Not all of these therapies and clinical trials have had positive outcomes. One particular area of rapid expansion reflects the use of technology in neurorehabilitation and several chapters remain devoted to this topic in various forms. Still a better understanding of the interactions of technology led therapies and conventional approaches in patients with neurodisability is required. There is still work to be done in defining key components of all neurorehabilitation interventions in order to understand how they might best be delivered for maximum benefit.

Full text

Abstract:

Self-determination theory has been applied to understand the role of affect in motivation and behavior in health contexts. According to self-determination theory, autonomous forms of motivation, reflecting self-endorsed reasons for acting and the satisfaction of psychological needs, are related to participation and persistence in health behavior. Research examining the role of affect in determining health behavior from the perspective of the theory is relatively sparse. Affect has served as both an outcome and process in applications of the theory to health behavior. Positive affect and psychological well-being have been identified as important outcomes of participating in behaviors for autonomous reasons. Affect is inextricably linked to motivational processes through eudaimonic and hedonic well-being, the passionate pursuit of activities, and the regulation of behavior through active management of aversive emotional responses. The chapter outlines how support for autonomous motivation by significant others may lead to adaptive behavioral engagement and affective responses in health behavior.

Abstract:

The landmark paper discussed in this chapter is ‘Pain and its treatment in outpatients with metastatic cancer’, published by Cleeland et al. in 1994. Cleeland and colleagues provide one of the first epidemiological studies outlining the prevalence of cancer pain in outpatients with metastatic cancer. The study drew attention to the undertreatment of pain and identified predictors of poor pain management, such as discrepancies between patient and health professional judgements regarding the degree of pain-induced interference. Issues highlighted by Cleeland and colleagues persist, including high prevalence of pain reported in patients with metastatic cancer, a lack of clarity on good practice guidelines for assessing pain in patients with cancer, and substandard quality of palliative and end-of-life services by minority ethnic groups. Pain management in outpatients with cancer remains a complex issue, but innovative strategies are emerging to support the role of the health professional and encouraging self-management in patients.

Abstract:

People with serious mental illness often receive inadequate care for physical health conditions. This chapter illustrates ways in which psychiatrists can play a key role in managing the physical health of an individual by communicating with primary care providers, educating behavioral health staff about disease management, and expanding the scope of practice to include screening for and managing metabolic conditions. This role is particularly important for the numerous individuals with mental illness who are not well engaged with primary care. For these people, therapeutic approaches such as motivational enhancement and trauma-informed care can support self-management of physical health conditions. Co-location and integration of primary care and behavioral health services can address barriers to accessing care. Although integration poses certain challenges, it has the potential to achieve the triple aim of improving the health care experience, improving population health, and reducing health care costs.

Abstract:

Changes in cancer treatment and improved survival rates mean that cancer is often experienced as a chronic condition. This chapter draws on contemporary models of chronic disease management, which define the capabilities required to promote self-management and identify the specific communication practices that achieve optimal outcomes for individuals living with a long-term condition. These capabilities require health professionals to provide person-centred care and achieve individual behavioural as well as organizational/system change. Communication skills which reflect these capabilities in practice include open questions and reflective listening, empathy and sensitivity to patient needs, and sharing of information. Communication skills to support motivational interviewing, collaborative problem identification, and organizational change, including communicating within a multidisciplinary team, are critical to achieving optimal outcomes for people living with cancer. These communication practices enable the patient to be a partner as they adjust to new health challenges, and a changed social and psychological context.

Abstract:

Although palliative and hospice care services are increasingly available, many adults and children still die without this kind of support or receive it only in the last few days of life, as many patients, family members, and clinicians equate the initiation of these services with loss of hope. This chapter presents a model of how hopeful patterns of thinking and a balance of positive and negative affect may facilitate a regoaling process in which individuals transition from cure-seeking goals to other personally meaningful goals that are attainable at the end of life or while living with a serious chronic illness. Understanding different forms of hopeful thinking, goals, and self-concepts among dying patients and their families can help clinicians provide support through this difficult experience and achieve better quality of life and symptom management for patients and better quality of life and long-term adjustment for family members.

Abstract:

The neural circuitry associated with experiencing emotional pleasure such as derived from spiritual fulfillment, happiness, or love is likely the same or closely replicative of the neural circuitry associated with experiencing physical pleasure such as from sex, music, or warmth. The neural circuitry associated with experiencing physical pain such as from a headache, injury, or disease is likely the same or closely related to that associated with experiencing emotional pain such as social rejection, depression, or self-criticism. Attention management is essential for developing happiness and satisfaction, while the opposite, attention mismanagement, is a catalyst for unhappiness and dissatisfaction. Happiness is believed to have a set point in each person, and by all indications this set point can be enhanced through deliberate and supportive constructs. This chapter reviews the differences between positive and negative psychological components and how people can optimize them to support brain health and psychological well-being.

Abstract:

The field of neuroscience nursing practice relates to a wide range of neurological disorders, many of which are progressive, deteriorating, life-changing, and life-limiting conditions affecting not only the patient but their families and carers. At the same time, the care of the patient following acute-onset injury and trauma presents different challenges in terms of support in critical care and ongoing rehabilitation. Brain damage and injury, irrespective of the causative factors, invariably can have a devastating effect on an individual’s physical, psychological, and cognitive functioning impairing their ability for self-autonomy and independence. The Oxford Handbook of Neuroscience Nursing begins to equip the practitioner with a basic knowledge of the complex needs and specialist management of this group of patients. It gives some insight into the patient’s perspective of living with a neurological condition and presents the best available evidence to inform practice and nursing care.

Abstract:

Psychopharmacology in general is a challenging field that includes much art as well as science. Clinicians usually depend upon self-report in making decisions regarding medication selection and dosing. When a patient becomes incarcerated, there are multiple potentially conflicting, or synergistic, situations. There are issues of different formularies, different environmental stressors, changed support groups, and practice patterns that all may contribute differentially to medication management decisions. Current community medications may have been determined while ongoing illicit drug use confounded the diagnostic picture. Collaboration between clinician and patient may have been poor, and subsequently treatment adherence may in turn have been marginal. Many similar issues apply when a patient transfers from a jail to a prison or from one prison to another. Preparation and review of transfer summary sheets and more detailed records are just as important in these situations and should be seen as the minimum standard in policy and in practice. Ideally, continuity of care, and any concerns about diagnosis or treatment are best shared through direct communication. A telephone exchange between treating psychiatrists is always better than simple written documentation. This chapter discusses both the issues and pragmatic management opportunities that can lead to improved patient care and enhanced functioning.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how the transition from prison to the community can lead to poor health outcomes, especially substance-related health complications. These adverse health effects may occur via one or more of the following mechanisms: (1) the toxic effects of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs; (2) health behaviors associated with using or acquiring substances or under the influence of substances, as well as poor chronic disease self-management; (3) conditions that are acquired, exacerbated, or progress as a result of the “downstream” social, behavioral, occupational, and economic consequences of addiction; and (4) institutional, policy, environmental, and social contexts that do not support maximum well-being and health. These conceptual categorizations, while not exhaustive, may help practitioners, policymakers, and public health officials design appropriately targeted preventive and intervention strategies. People released from prisons should also be included in broader public health efforts to reduce the risk of overdose and address substance-related harms.

Abstract:

Lawyers’ Skills helps students develop the legal skills required for successful practice in the modern solicitors’ firm. The book equips students with a solid understanding of the theory and concepts underpinning the key skills areas of legal writing and drafting, interviewing and advising, practical legal research, and advocacy, enabling students to develop, practise, and refine the legal skills they will depend on throughout their professional career. It goes beyond coverage of the assessed skills, providing guidance on a range of professional skills that should be mastered before going into practice, including effective time management, negotiation, and email etiquette. The inclusion of realistic examples from practice, tasks, and reflective exercises reflects the interactive nature of skills as a subject and encourages students to develop, practice, and refine their legal skills. Chapter summaries, diagrams, and self-test questions are also featured throughout and provide additional learning support to students. The text is essential reading for all LPC students and is also a useful source of reference for practitioners wishing to refresh their legal skills. After an introduction, the book covers: interviewing and advising; legal writing; drafting legal documents; legal research; practical problem-solving; negotiation; advocacy and the solicitor; managing your workload; and continuing your learning.

Abstract:

A number of treatment guidelines have been developed to optimize the treatment of osteoarthritis, some of which were recently updated. Fifty-one non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical treatments are addressed in these guidelines but only two (oral opioid and intra-articular steroid injection) reach the minimal clinically important difference above placebo. Recommendations for these treatments vary depending on joint sites, risk:benefit ratio, and population. Exercise, self-management, and weight reduction if obese are universally recommended. While topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain a safe first-line drug option, the safety of paracetamol, the universally recommended first-line oral analgesic is increasingly questioned. Other analgesics such as oral NSAIDs (including selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors), opioids, and antidepressants should be used according to patient characteristics and comorbidities. Nutraceuticals and complementary medicines remain controversial. While lavage is not recommended, total joint replacement is still considered as an effective treatment for the later stage of the disease irrespective of lack of placebo (sham) controlled trials. Stratified care has been attempted for recommendation according to joint affected and comorbidities but there is no evidence to support whether this can improve treatment outcomes. Guideline development groups differ in their composition and methodology. While the overall quality of guidelines has been improved, their applicability remains poor. Of the various factors that may influence implementation, suboptimal publishing and the efficacy paradox need to be recognized as important barriers.
