1. Nurses work around the clock caring for patients and on the same personality clashes occurs in common which often brings a lot of stressful and emotional circumstances, not only for workers but also for patients and their families. To overcome these conflicts, I confide with a nursing manager who have the ability to peace and effective solution to develop skills and resources. Ofcourse yes, talking with a person I trust, shares way to reduce the conflicts in workplace or it helps to manage the situation of conflicts in future. For a patient, if he or she felt that there is no one to share his feelings, a nurse can over take the role as a confider to reduce the stress and see an effectiveness in the treatment. When people are disturbed or undisturbed by others or themselves, they act in a dysfunctional and self-defeating manner which leads to change in cognitions, emotional balance and activities. To overcome these self-defeating thinking, use rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) to overcome these thinking. REBT directly or indirectly helps them to change themselves. It helps the person to know about reality or construct a view on what is good or bad or right or wrong, develop cultures and a personality and root goals or purposes in life.
2.a) Psychotherapy - the treatment of mental disorder by psychological methods particularly based on regualr personal interaction, to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a desired way rather than medical methods. b) 1.Cognitive behavioral therapy( CBT) is used for a group of psychological treatments based on scientific evidence amd been proven effective for many treatments and usually are short term. 1. To perform CBT hard work and patient cooperation and motivation is needed for an effective treatment. 2. Solution focussed therapy ( SFBT) is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change through direct observation. 2. SFBT encourages reflection of a life but does so to search out what works and to identify the strengths and coping strategies. 3. Client centered therapy is a counselling approach that requires the client to play an active role in the treatment. 3. In client centered therapy, the therapist allow the clients to lead a discussion and support the clients without casting judgement. c) I think solution based behavioral therapy is better for the treatment because it is goal oriented and helps the patient to go real with his life.
4. a) Explain the patient about the need of a purpose-oriented and goal-oriented in a therapy by illustrating importance of outcomes in an effective treatment. b) clarify all the doubts of the patient c) expalin the treatment plan of the patient before proceeding.
