nursing diagnoses to describe sexuality problems Sexual Dysfunction Sexuality Pattern, ineffective RT: Anxiety, Body Image, disturbed; Coping, ineffective; Distress, moral; Rape-Trauma Syndrome
Define stress - a disruptive condition that occurs in response to adverse influences from the internal or external environments
adaptive coping strategies Adaptive coping strategies improve functioning. Examples: seeking support from others, finding meaning in the stressful experience, keeping physically fit, humor
maladaptive coping strategies Maladaptive coping strategies only reduce symptoms temporarily. They are a short term solution. Examples: substance abuse, escape, dissociation, safety behaviors, anxiety avoidance
stressors internal or external event or situation that creates the potential for physiologic, emotional, cognitive, or behavioral changes in an individual
3 broad classes of stressors 1.day to day (traffic jam, etc) 2.types that effect large groups, even nations (war, terrorism, live news) 3.life events - birth, divorce, marriage, health. (time-limited, sequence, chronic)
Which class of stressors impacts health the most? Daily. Due to the cumulative effect
Responses to stress - the mediating process Intentionally or unintentionally, we respond psychologically to see how we can manage the situation. 2 parts - appraisal and coping.
2 steps of cognitive appraisal 1. what is at stake (primary) and 2. What can be done (secondary). Primary determines if it is stressful or not.
Physiological response to stress protective adaptation mechanism to maintain homeostatic balance of the body.
If the stressor disrupts homeostasis to the point where adaptation to the stressor fails, what happens? disease process results
Adaptation a la Selye The GAS theory. I love that. It stands for general adaptation syndrome. It was initially Flight And React Timely Syndrome (F.A.R.T.S)
Describe the alarm phase Fight or flight is activated. Release of epi and norepi and ACTH (the adrenal cortical response). Defensive,antiinflam, selflimiting.
Describe the second stage - Resistance adaptation to the stressor occurs and cortical activity still increases. If continued, this will lead to....
Stage 3 - exhaustion The No Can Do stage. Endocrine activity increases and so taxes systems, it can lead to death.
What is LAS Local Adaptation Syndrome - inflamm. response and repair process at local site of tissue damage. If injury is large enough, GAS.
63. Explain how Selye’s local adaptation syndrome (LAS) is different from the GAS • GAS affects the whole body, while LAS affects a certain area of the body • LAS is at the site of the injury • However, if the injury is widespread, GAS can come into effect, such as full thickness burns over 40% of the body
Physiological responses to stress are mediated by the ____ Brain
This maintains homeostatic balance hypothalamus
64. Discuss the inflammatory response: What triggers it a defensive reaction intended to neutralize, control, or eliminate the the offending agent and to prepare the site for repair • It can be triggered by many factors • Bee sting • Sore throat • Surgical incision • Burn site • Cellular injury and death
what physiological changes occur on the vascular level? Physiological changes:vascular or cellular • Vascular • Vasodilation • Increased blood flow • Increased capillary permeability • Local tissue congestion
what physiological changes occur on the cellular level? •Cellular • Phagocytosis (cell death) • Increased Leukocytes (granulocytes and monocytes) • Release of chemical mediators (mast cells and macrophages)
Describe the effects of prolonged stress and unsuccessful adaptation on the various body systems. • Prolonged stress can cause the level of Epi, Nor-E, and ATCH to not decrease • Unsuccessful adaptation can result in tachycardia, hypertension, glycosuria,
contrast crisis and burnout. Burnout is when you have dealt with the crisis for so long, you can't deal with it any longer.
Reliable indicators of stress Blood levels of catecholamines, glucocorticoids, ACTh, eosinophils. Also, Serum cholesterol and free fatty acid levels.
Denial, avoidance and distancing are all examples of what? inappropriate coping skills/mechanisms.
Enhanced coping techniques to offer patient Try to be optimistic/gain control/ do research/ use spiritual support/ practice acceptance
Benson's ______ response well accepted relaxation practice
Health spectrum/continuum fluid and changing. Go for a run, feel healthy in the a.m. Heartburn at lunch, feel unhealthy... Okay at dinner, feel moderately healthy.
5 stage of illness behavior - stage 1 1. symptom stage - decision that something is wrong.
Stage 2 2. assumption of the sick role stage - when the individual accepts that the symptoms are a sign of illness
Stage 3 3. medical care contact stage - seeks medical care
Stage 4 4. dependent patient role stage - patient is to make every effort to get well
Stage 5 5. Recovery or rehabilitation - get well or get used to it
Acute vs. chronic Acute is short duration. Chronic is lasting longer than 6 months.
Identify factors that influence individual’s responses to illness Lifestyle, relationships, culture, spirituality, environmental factors, socioeconomic factors.
The purpose of health promotion is ... to focus on the patient’s potential for wellness and to encourage appropriate alterations in personal habits, lifestyle, and environment. Wellness involves a conscious and deliberate attempt, and involves a plan and conscious commitment.
Discuss Healthy People 2020 report as it relates to health promotion Goals set by the federal government based on leading causes of death aimed to increase quality of life and eliminate disparities.
Pender’s Health Promotion Model based on the social learning theory, cognitive perpetual factors affect view of the importance of health. Examines control, self-efficacy, health status,benefits and barriers. All this is done by contemplation, determination, action and maintenance.
Prochaska and DiClemente’s four stages of change. Stage 1 Precontemplation - denial, don't have a problem, defend bad habits, excuses
Stage 2 Contemplation ~ maybe they have a problem. Recognize personal consequences of bad choices. Teeter tooter about changing.
