The Impact of Guided Imagery on Pain and Anxiety in Hospitalized Adults

The current study examined the impact of memory recovery techniques (guided imagery and dream interpretation) on mock jurors’ perceptions of recovered memories. Participants (N = 181) were randomly assigned to read one of four vignettes representing a therapist who uncovered memories of child sexual abuse in an adult female client using guided imagery, dream interpretation, technique concealed, or memories were continuous as opposed to recovered. Participants then responded to a series of questions regarding plaintiff credibility, defendant guilt, and external influences. Lower ratings of plaintiff credibility and defendant guilt emerged, along with higher ratings of external influence when guided imagery or dream interpretation was used by the therapist compared to when the technique was concealed. The same pattern of findings held when the dependent variables of interest reflected credible vs. not credible and guilty vs. not guilty decisions. The current study highlights the necessity of informing jurors as to the processes by which memories are recovered.

The Impact

Guided imagery and relaxation techniques have many documented benefits yet are not traditionally taught in undergraduate nursing education. These techniques can also be used by clinicians and students to manage their own stress. The impact of teaching guided imagery in an experiential skills lab on undergraduate nursing students was examined in this mixed-methods research study. Goals were to evaluate whether students learning these skills would be more likely to use them in clinical practice, to examine whether learning these skills would provide personal benefits, and to compare personal instruction with video instruction. Students completed questionnaires evaluating the experience in terms of satisfaction, personal benefit, and intent to use. Students provided comments and answered open-ended questions regarding personal and professional benefits and ability to apply knowledge and skills. Results were positive, with students reporting satisfaction with the format, personal benefit from the course, and increased likelihood that they will use the techniques with clients in the future. The lowest scores were on confidence in using the technique with clients. A statistically significant finding is that students preferred personal instruction in the areas of satisfaction with the content, satisfaction with the format, and the value of experience in advance of using these skills with patients ( p < .05).

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.
