Bewältigungsverhalten und ärztliche Informationsvermittlung - eine Studie an Müttern, die ein Kind mit einer Lippen-Kiefer-Gaumen-Spalte geboren haben
1990
To be delivered of a child with cleft lip and palate is an extreme psychic stress factor for the mother. In coping with this, she is left to the support of the caring medical staff. Therefore, the aim of the present study was 1. to ascertain, to what extent mothers of children with cleft lip and palate are given information on the malformation, and receive emotional support by the medical staff; and 2. to determine the effect such experiences have on their ability to cope. For this purpose we developed a special questionnaire, which was completed by 154 mothers of such children. Retrospectively, a relevant part of them criticised not only the communication and the contents of information, b…
Physical activity and health: Musculoskeletal issues
2007
Sarcopenia and osteoporosis, the complications of the age-related deterioration of the musculoskeletal system, result in increased risk of fracture, disability and death in old age. Consequently, the structure and function of skeletal muscle and bone and their adaptability are essential aspects of overall health, functional capacity and mobility during the whole lifespan. There is convincing clinical evidence that progressive resistance exercise training improves the properties of skeletal muscle in men and women across the age spectrum, thus providing a high reserve capacity for coping with the functional demands of physical tasks. Regarding bones, exercise is most effective during growth,…
Depression bei Kindern und Jugendlichen: Prävalenz, Diagnostik, ätiologische Faktoren, Geschlechtsunterschiede, therapeutische Ansätze
2007
Die Prävalenzraten für die verschiednen Formen von Depression (depressiven Stimmungen, depressiven Syndromen und Major Depression) haben in den letzten Jahren zugenommen, die Geschlechtsunterschiede mit deutlich höheren Raten für Mädchen haben sich erhöht. Als ätiologische Faktoren für das Auftreten von Depression werden u. a. zunehmende Stressfaktoren, dysfunktionale Bewältigungsstile, ein negatives Körperkonzept und unsichere Bindungsmuster genannt. Unter den verschiedenen therapeutischen Ansätzen hat sich die psychoananlytische Behandlungsmethode als die umfassendste erwiesen. Schlüsselwörter Prävalenzraten - Komorbidität - Stress - Coping - Körperkonzept - Bindung Prevalence rates of th…
Experienced health in older women with rheumatoid arthritis.
2007
ABSTRACT This study explored how older women with chronic illness and disability experience their own health. Data were collected in in-depth interviews with ten older women with rheumatoid arthritis. Data analysis and interpretation was carried out within a phenomenological-hermeneutic frame of understanding, which revealed five major themes: health as coping with everyday life, health as freedom, health as absence of inconvenience, health as togetherness and health as mental well-being. For older people with chronic illness and disability, good health found expression in general well-being. It was perceived as a state of equilibrium that the respondents sought to maintain through their ow…
Self-Representation of Children Suffering from Congenital Heart Disease and Maternal Competence
2013
Background: Child development may be subject to forms of motor, physical, cognitive and self-representation impairments when complex congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs. In some cases, inadequacy of both self-representation as well as the family system are displayed. It seems to be important to search the likely internal and external resources of the CHD child, and the possible connections among such resources, which may help him/her to manage his/her own risk condition. Design and Methods: The research project inquires the possible resources related to the self-representation and self-esteem levels of the CHD child, and those related to maternal self-perception as competent mothers. A gr…

Spiritual Well-being in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving Noncurative Chemotherapy
2017
Spiritual well-being (SWB) is an important quality-of-life dimension for cancer patients in the palliative phase. Therefore, it is important for healthcare professionals to recognize the concept of SWB from the patient's point of view. A deeper understanding of how patients experience and reflect upon these issues might influence patient care. The aim of this study was to explore SWB in colorectal cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in the palliative phase. We used a qualitative method of in-depth interviews and a hermeneutic editing approach for the analyses and interpretations. Twenty colorectal cancer patients in the palliative phase, aged 34 to 75 years, were included: 12 patients we…
Psychosocial and behavioural factors in heart transplant candidates--an overview.
2007
Mortality among heart transplant (HTX) candidates remains high. This review of the literature shows that psychosocial characteristics like depression, social isolation and coping strategies contribute to morbidity and mortality in heart failure (HF) patients, and may also be relevant to the prognosis of HTX candidates. Based on the research to date, physical activity favourably affects subjective and objective parameters not only in HF patients, but also in HTX candidates. Depression is prevalent among HTX candidates, especially in ischaemic patients, and seems to be related to earlier transplantation. Findings on the effects of depression on pretransplant mortality are conflicting. Not muc…
Psychiatric Disorders in Otoneurology Patients
2005
Nearly half the patients who are in specialized otoneurologic units exhibit psychiatric disorders. The disorders are most significant in patients who have the chief symptoms of dizziness, complex forms of tinnitus, or sudden and relapsing sensorineural hearing loss. If not properly diagnosed, these disorders can lead to improper treatment, particularly when the illness is a somatoform otoneurologic disorder. Patients who have comorbid symptoms, such as reactive anxiety or depressive disorders, may experience difficulties in coping with the illness. In many instances, reactive psychologic disorders can lead to severe impairment of daily life and work activities.
