Introdução: O câncer de mama afeta frequentemente as mulheres. Além dos estressores físicos, aspectos da saúde mental, como questões estéticas, estresse e ansiedade, devem ser considerados para o cuidado holístico à paciente. Métodos terapêuticos vêm surgindo com a finalidade de amenizar os efeitos psicológicos do diagnóstico para as mulheres, entretanto, a comparação entre as diversas técnicas ainda é escassa. Assim, é necessário que profissionais da saúde conheçam intervenções que possam beneficiar a saúde mental de mulheres acometidas pelo câncer de mama, para proporcionar um atendimento integrado. Objetivos: Identificar intervenções terapêuticas para equilíbrio da saúde mental em mulheres com câncer de mama. Material e Métodos: Revisão baseada em artigos publicados entre os anos de 2016 a 2021 na base PubMed. Foram utilizados os descritores “Breast Neoplasms” e “Mental Health” - associados com operador booleano AND. A pesquisa resultou em 86 artigos, que foram analisados, finalizando com um total de 26 artigos para esta revisão. Resultados: Exercícios e terapias complementares ajudaram a reduzir os efeitos psicológicos em mulheres com câncer de mama. Exercícios físicos convencionais, além dos benefícios fisiológicos, colaboram também com o equilíbrio da saúde mental. Destes, destacam-se exercícios aquáticos, Yoga e Mindfulness, que demonstraram diminuição nos níveis de citocinas e substâncias pró-inflamatórias. O Yoga apontou melhora do bem-estar social, familiar e emocional, mas, quando comparado a exercícios físicos convencionais, não foi comprovada vantagem dessa prática. O Mindfulness e a técnica Pythagorean Self Awareness Intervention podem ser capazes de melhorar diversos índices, como IMC, estresse, depressão, ansiedade e angústia. Exercícios de Qigong marcaram uma melhora ou estabilidade na atividade do cortisol, sendo um potencial auxiliador na qualidade de vida. Conclusão: No câncer de mama, o recorte psicológico gera grande influência em diversos sistemas do organismo, inclusive endocrinológico e imunológico. As práticas alternativas - como o Yoga, Qigong e Mindfulness - vem ao encontro dessa necessidade de enxergar a paciente além do tratamento farmacológico, sendo importante a redução da frequência e intensidade de casos de depressão, estresse e ansiedade, apontada por tais técnicas. A comparação entre as práticas ainda é pouco entendida, podendo ser alvo de novos estudos para a integralização do cuidado.

In order to provide sound, person-centred care, mental health nursing students need a thorough understanding of theory alongside the ability to translate this knowledge into practice. It can be difficult to apply ideas from the classroom and books when learning how to work with mental health service users for the first time. That is why the theoretical aspects of this book are presented alongside realistic accounts of nursing practice. Fundamentals of Mental Health Nursing is a case-based and service user centred textbook for mental health nursing students. Designed to support students throughout their pre-registration studies, the text covers the essential knowledge required to provide high quality nursing care. Contributions from real service users and cases of fictional clients are explored in detail to provide excellent transferable skills for practice. Dedicated chapters explore fundamental nursing skills and mental health law before providing a case-based exploration of the areas and subjects that will be encountered by students in university and placement. Practice-based chapters introduce students to the needs of a diverse range of fictional clients and explain how the skills of communication, assessment, care planning and monitoring can be applied. Each chapter provides a sample care plan explaining why and how clinical decisions are made, so that students can develop their own skills and practice. The text opens with clear advice to help students succeed in their studies and concludes with a wealth of practical and thoughtful advice on becoming a professional and getting that first job. Online Resource Centre * Twenty one video clips of fictional service users demonstrate the application of theory and prepare students for real nursing practice * Quizzes, scenarios and a range of activities help students to apply their learning * Interactive glossary explains terminology and jargon * Sample CV's and self awareness exercises aid professional development

Adults With Mental Illness

ObjectivesThe issue of gaining employment for those with mental illness is a growing global concern. For many in the young adult population, who are at a transitional age, employment is a central goal. In response, we conducted a scoping review to answer the question, ‘What are the barriers and facilitators to employment for young adults with mental illness?’DesignWe conducted a scoping review in accordance to the Arksey and O’Malley framework. We performed a thorough search of Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, ABI/INFORM, PsycINFO and Cochrane. We included studies that considered young adults aged 15–29 years of age with a mental health diagnosis, who were seeking employment or were included in an employment intervention.ResultsOur search resulted in 24 research articles that focused on employment for young adults with mental illness. Four main themes were extracted from the literature: (1) integrated health and social services, (2) age-exposure to employment supports, (3) self-awareness and autonomy and (4) sustained support over the career trajectory.ConclusionsOur review suggests that consistent youth-centred employment interventions, in addition to usual mental health treatment, can facilitate young adults with mental illness to achieve their employment goals. Aligning the mental health and employment priorities of young adults may result in improved health and social outcomes for this population while promoting greater engagement of young adults in care.

This paper reconstructs a fragment of psychiatric-psychoanalytical geography, interfacing it with the ‘new walking studies’, centring on a walk conducted in 1935 by a man experiencing mental health problems in Glasgow, Scotland. This man, a patient of the psychiatrist Thomas Ferguson Rodger, had mobility problems that rendered walking difficult – prone to stumbling, staggering, wavering – but with the likelihood of these problems being psychosomatic in origin. Through analytic sessions enacting a kind of ‘make-do’ psychoanalysis, the patient reflected on his mobility problems, as when relating his own walking ‘experiment’. Explanations advanced for his difficulties mixed psychoanalytic tropes with a gathering self-awareness of how fraught childhood experiences, had created the frame for an adult existence continually shying away from wider encounters and challenges beyond the domestic sphere. Central here was forward momentum being lost, whether walking or advancing through a life-course, with material and metaphoric senses of being stalled or stuck – spatially, environmentally – constantly entraining one another. This case study is deployed to illustrate claims about the ‘worlding’ of psychoanalysis, and to offer provocations for how such a psychiatric-psychoanalytic geography fragment might be illuminated by work on the cultural geographies of walking.

Northern Psychiatry Research Centre, Melbourne University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia Mental health professionals and their patients are increasingly aware of the basic need of all human beings for a source of meaning that is greater than one's self. This growth in awareness is driven by the professional's practical goal of reducing disability from mental disorders and by the heart felt wishes of the suffering for their therapists to recognize of the need for self transcendence. This has resulted in mental health professionals and the general public's growing awareness of the need to foster spirituality and well-being in clinical practice. We now see a groundswell of professional work to focus on the development of health and happiness, rather than merely to fight disease and distress.This presentation will consider the practical necessity to reduce disability, and understanding the science of well-being including the stages of self-awareness on the path to well-being. Considering the interpersonal neurobiology view of well-being. Ultimately discussing the developing of well-being through therapies such as Cloninger's “The happy life- Voyages to well-being” and D'Souza's Evidence based East-West Spiritually Augmented Well-being therapy. seven catalylectic exercises for each day of the week. This allows attention to spirituality based on principles of psychobiology with roots in compassion and tolerance, rather than on the basis of dogmatic judgments that are rooted in fear and intolerance. Thus only by addressing spirituality in a scientific and non judgmental manner can we make psychology and psychiatry into a science of well-being that is able to reduce stigma and disability of psychological disorders

Card Sorting Task

BACKGROUND Supporting mental health and wellness is of increasing interest due to a growing recognition of the prevalence and burden of mental health issues. Mood is a central aspect of mental health, and several technologies, especially mobile apps, have helped people track and understand it. However, despite formative work on and dissemination of mood tracking apps, it is not well understood how mood tracking apps used in real-world contexts might benefit people and what people hope to gain from them. OBJECTIVE To address this gap, the purpose of this study is to understand motivations for and experiences in using mood tracking apps from people who used them in real-world contexts. METHODS We interviewed 22 participants who had used mood tracking apps using a semi-structured interview and card sorting task. The interview focused on their experiences using a mood tracking app. We then conducted a card sorting task using screenshots of various data entry and data review features from mood tracking apps. We used thematic analysis to identify themes around why people use mood tracking apps, what they found useful about them, and where people felt these apps fell short. RESULTS Users of mood tracking apps were primarily motivated by negative life events or shifts in their own mental health that prompted them to engage in tracking and improve their situation. In general, participants felt that using a mood tracking app facilitated self-awareness and helped them to look back on a previous emotion or mood experience to understand what was happening. Interestingly, some users reported less inclination to document their negative mood states and preferred to document their positive moods. There was a range of preferences for personalization and simplicity of tracking. Overall, users also liked features in which their previous tracked emotions and moods were visualized in figures or calendar form to understand trends. One gap in available mood-tracking apps were the lack of app-facilitated recommendations or suggestions for how to interpret their own data or improve their mood. CONCLUSIONS Although people find various features of mood tracking apps helpful, the way people use mood tracking apps, such as avoiding entering negative moods, tracking infrequently, or wanting support to understand or change their moods, demonstrate opportunities for improvement. Understanding why and how people are using current technologies can provide insights to guide future designs and implementations.

The aim: The aim of the study is to identify correlations between mental health indicators for preschoolers with intellectual disabilities and specifics of their prenatal, natal and postnatal development. Materials and methods: Analysis of special medical, psychological and pedagogical literature; comparison and systematization of research material to determine mentalhealth indicators for preschoolers with mild and moderate degrees of intellectual disability; mathematical methods of statistics. Results: Empirical research, delineating formation of mental health indicators for senior preschoolers with intellectual disabilities, specified in low level of formation of both criteria, has been conducted. In general, we can conclude that the formation of mental health against the background of intellectual disability of preschool children is associatedwith low levels of self-awareness as a member of a social group; below age expectations’ ability to perceive self and produce information about themselves, their preferences and meaningful adults; inability to adhere to social norms and values in behavior; high levels of anxiety; aggressive tendencies; lack of independence; helplessness concerning helping others; expectation of help from adults; content inappropriate emotional outbursts accompanied by frequent mood swings; and desire for solitude. Conclusions: The obtained results confirm the conditionality of intellectual disability on negative factors in the perinatal period of development and strong correlation withmental disorders. It is important to correctly diagnose the existing manifestations of comorbid mental health disorders at preschool age and earlier, in order to implement appropriate measures for intervention and development.

Adolescents encounter various changes, including biological, mental and social behaviors during the transition stage. Several developmental tasks also need to be fulfilled, although certain obstacles appear inevitable. Failure to overcome these challenges tends to adversely impact mental health, and as a result, multiple cases have been reported in the psychology unit of a major Kotagede Health Center in Yogyakarta. Also, stress have been described as a contributing factor, leading to physical pain or somatization, relationship conflicts with parents and friends, anxiety as well as depression. Therefore, it is necessary to initiate community-based preventive interventions. The results showed an increase in the knowledge of adolescents and parents after the psycho-education. Additionally, the teenagers obtained sufficient information about the developmental phase, importance of self-awareness and effective communication to appropriately assist peers facing related problems. Parents also tend to be increasingly conscious of their involvement in adolescent growth, and were more patient, empathetic, and non-judgmental. This awareness and comprehension also supported parents in fostering effective communication and encouraging openness with the children.
