Tanssin mahdollisuudet aivoverenkiertohäiröiden kuntoutuksessa: Kirjallisuuskatsaus

Abstract Stroke affects one in six people in Finland and is the third most common cause of death. Strokes can cause changes in physical, mental and social functioning. All functional disorders can be affected by rehabilitation: physical treatment is a key part of active rehabilitation after a stroke. In this article, the known effects of dance on stroke are gathered together on the basis of a literature review and discussed in the context of dance pedagogy. The data was systematically retrieved from the PubMed, CINAHL and Arsca databases. Eleven research articles meeting the search criteria were selected. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. The results of the research literature analysis indicated that dance is suitable for stroke rehabilitation: it promotes psychological, cognitive and physical functioning. The results spoke in favour of dance intervention supporting and developing a relationship to one’s own altered body and self-esteem, as well as enabling social relationships. In addition, dance improves one’s mental state. Therefore, these factors suggest that dance could meet the need for a new form of neurological rehabilitation therapy.

Type Method

On the premise that social relationships among elderly adults differ in terms of the most significant, dominant figure, this study aimed to examine: (1) whether there were qualitative differences in supportive functions between family-dominant and friend-dominant affective relationships, and (2) whether “lone wolves”, who were deficient in human resources, had difficulties in maintaining their well-being. A total of 148 Japanese, over the age of 65, both living in communities and in institutions were individually interviewed about their social relationships using a self-report type method, the Picture Affective Relationships test, and their well-being was assessed using Depression, Self-esteem, Life satisfaction, and Subjective health scales. Results showed that there were no differences in psychological well-being between family-dominant and friend-dominant participants, but those who lacked affective figures had lower scores in subjective well-being than did their family-dominant and friend-dominant counterparts. The generalisation of these findings to other cultures is discussed.

Abstract Purpose: The aim of our study is to establish whether a difference exists in the personality intrapsychic processes, SN and SS, ASQ-anxiety, and CDQ-depression of fifty-eight breast cancer(BC) women(W) and seventy-four healthy-women, all in post menopause. Methods: Tests: SASB Form-A intrapsychic behavior, Social Network List (SN), and Social support evaluation (SS). Statistical analysis: Variance analysis (ANOVA) was applied to evaluate the SASB clusters differences between the two groups; Pearson’s R coefficient was used to compare SASB, SN, SS dimensions, ASQ, and CDQ. Results: BC women showed a smaller size of SN (fewer social relationships), with ties stronger than healthy women. SASB Profile BC-W (comparison with healthy-women).” Not affiliation and Autonomy”: medium low value of autonomy, low self-appreciation and self-esteem, low expression of emotions and needs, difficulties in being able to achieve emotional and psychic equilibrium in presence of stress because of their control and self-critical behavior, depression, stress; difficulties in asking helps to family members. They invest in limited bonds for leisure, considered important but without fall into intimacy: they may be not always satisfied of their relationships. The depression is directly linked to these intrapsychic behaviors. Conclusions: Patients with “not Affiliation and Autonomy” SASB profile should be regarded as having a high risk of worse social support and depression, and could be followed up and screened, in order to plan the multidimensional and psychotherapeutic intervention specific to the single patient, aimed at modifying the problematic and unhealthy intrapsychic experience and promoting the development of a better quality of life.

(1) Background: Disorders of sexual life negatively impact self-esteem and social relationships. This problem affects patients after gynecological surgery. Providing access to specialist sexologist care constitutes an important aspect of support for this patient group. (2) Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the sexual life of women depending on the time since surgery, extent of gynecological surgery and postoperative chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. (3) Methods: The study included 136 patients from gynecological outpatient clinics in Szczecin, Poland. The women answered questions from a special three-part questionnaire. Participation was anonymous and voluntary. The data obtained in the survey were subject to statistical analysis. (4) Results: Among patients with a sparing of the cervix, most have never or almost never experienced discomfort or pain during intercourse, and believe that the quality of their sex life has not deteriorated after surgery. It was found that cervical removal, despite the existence of other conditions, increases the chance of pain during sexual activity 11 times. We found that the removal of adnexa did not increase the risk of changing sexual activity. In patients who had not undergone postoperative chemo- and/or radiotherapy, sexual activity did not change after surgery, and they never or almost never experienced discomfort or pain during intercourse. On the other hand, it was shown, despite the smaller study group, that patients treated with postoperative chemo- and/or radiotherapy did not initiate sexual intercourse. (5) Conclusion: The more extended the gynecological surgery of the uterus, the greater the limitation of sexual life.

Psychological Reaction

Advances in treatment of breast cancer have not avoided using mastectomy in all cases, and when this happens, we are dealing with a woman who is suffering from psychological problems. In order to study this issue we have carried out a research with the collaboration of The Andalusian Association of Women with Mastectomies (AMAMA) in Seville, which provided us with a sample of 46 mastectomized women. The objective of this study is to analyze in depth the psychological reaction of women to mastectomy through its different stages from diagnosis to surgical treatment. We chose a cualitative method so as to explore the subjective components of psicologycal respons. As a result, we found in studied women: (a) The “fracture” of the “corporal imaginary” related to the disappearance of a valuable organ, linked to the feeling of loss of personal attractiveness, low self-esteem and avoidance of social relationships. (b) The problem with “femininity” has been linked to the issue of “desirability”, something innate in the “feminine position”. (c) Many of them keep in mind the idea of mutilation, as a “hole” which is impossible to integrate. (d) Finally, we demonstrate how certain features of personality made them especially vulnerable to the explained phenomena.

Abstract This article describes a contemporary dance intervention among psychiatric outpatients with a diagnosis of mild-to-moderate depression. Five females participated in a pilot intervention, which was carried out twice a week over four consecutive weeks. During the intervention, the participants kept diaries about their personal experiences. The diaries were assessed using thematic content analysis. The dancing experience involved a combination of three elements: music, movement and creativity connected to the body. The qualitative findings were tentatively associated with positive mood over the short term. The participants experienced periods of relaxation, self-examination and elevated self-esteem during the session. Diary entries indicated that participating in contemporary dance may reduce mental anxiety and physical tension, and provide at least short-term symptomatic relief. Thus, participation in contemporary dance may be beneficial in the process of recovery from depression.
