Behavioural and psychosocial interventions for pain management

Patients with advanced disease commonly report pain as one of their most feared and distressing symptoms. A biomedical treatment approach that focuses solely on biological factors can be helpful but often fails to adequately address important psychological, social, and spiritual factors that can contribute to pain. Behavioural and psychosocial approaches to understanding and treating pain in patients with advanced disease can be quite helpful in this context. These approaches not only have the potential to reduce pain but also improve patients’ overall adjustment to life-limiting disease. This chapter provides an overview of these approaches. It is divided into four sections, including a summary of the prevalence and undertreatment of pain in patients with advanced disease, a rationale for behavioural and psychosocial approaches to pain management, an overview of the most common and effective behavioural and psychosocial approaches, and clinical considerations and future directions.

Psychosocial Approaches to the Treatment of Apathy

This chapter examines how apathy, that is, reduced goal-directed behaviour, can be treated with psychological therapies, in particular cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive remediation, and social skills training. A variety of specific and integrative approaches and treatment programmes are discussed. The chapter elaborates on the psychological processes underlying apathy, explains the rationale and main techniques for each therapeutic approach, and reviews evidence regarding the efficacy of the different approaches. In every part, the chapter translates research from specific symptom areas in mental disorders, particularly negative symptoms in schizophrenia and anhedonia in major depression, to the transdiagnostic concept of apathy. The chapter ends with an outlook detailing how refined therapeutic techniques, such as shared decision-making and treatment personalization, and technological advancements, such as digital and mobile health applications, can help to improve existing psychological treatments.

Religiosity and mental suffering experiences of users of the Brazilian public healthcare system

This article aimed to investigate the relationship between religiosity and mental suffering experiences among users of the Brazilian public healthcare system, according to the cultural phenomenology framework. Its specific objective was to investigate the means by which the transformation of experience occurs. The study’s design consisted of semi-structured interviews, applying the MINI - McGill Illness Narratives Interview. The results led to the construction of the following categories: causal factors, suffering experiences, healing practices, social support and positive transformation of the experience. The effects of religiosity on mental suffering experiences were predominantly positive, such as in religious rituals, social support and protection against suicide. The main healing mechanisms involved were embracement, symbolic and bodily processes, similarly to psychosocial approaches within professional ethnopsychiatries

Features in assessing the psychosocial approaches bassed on the feedback – received and transmitted emotions

The fairness and efficiency of the learning - teaching process result from the behaviour changes of the designed activity. If the evaluation of the behaviour in a psychomotric way in physical education implies probes and tests where the running timing, number of repetitions the long jump, the evaluation of the psychosocial approaches can be done through the means of some tests which combine the students motricity with the survey on students, with the aim of finding out the social involvement level of each student. The experimental research emphasises the way the tests are handed, under the influence of motor activities for the 2nd form students, in three different schools in Arges. The former test, following Zlate Mielu model, aims at the assessment of the training/development/education level of the personality features through the learning of every individual psychosocial profile. The latter test is illustrative of Zapan Gheorghe method and implies the examining of objective appreciation capacity concerning the right way of performing all the exercises and the student capacity of obeying the rules. Through the means of these two tests the students social behaviour is assessed on the grownd of each students the feedback provided by the emotion received or sent to the students. As a result of this research, we concluded that the psychosocial approaches were included in a prosocial behaviour, each and every student being able to show safety and self - confidence in their own psychomotric prospective, as well as fairness regarding their collegues potential quality.

Effective Treatment Interventions for Global Mental Health: An Analysis of Biomedical and Psychosocial Approaches in Use Today

We are in an important moment for mental health treatment around the world, as many Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) – representing an increasing majority of the world’s population – are currently developing and scaling up services for the first time. Yet, research on Global Mental Health (GMH) best practices remains scattered and difficult to synthesize. This review aims to simplify existing GMH research on effective biomedical and psychosocial treatment approaches from both high-income countries and LMICs to enable a more comprehensive understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of existing interventions, based on the highest quality, up-to-date research. By understanding which treatments are most effective and why, we can begin to not only implement more effective practices, but guide the future of GMH research in the right directions. The purpose of this review is therefore to understand mental illness, what it is, how it was treated in the past, how it manifests differently around the globe, and how to best treat it. Ultimately, while psychosocial approaches are advised for patients with more mild to moderate disorders, medications and other biomedical approaches are recommended increasingly only for more severe cases. While significant evidence exists to justify the use of psychotropic medications for mental illness, their adverse effects indicate that psychosocial approaches should be prioritized as first line treatments, particularly for mild to moderate disorders. As one of the first to analyze this research, this review is useful not only for GMH scholars, but for practitioners and public health workers globally, as well.
