La cuestión de la calidad de vida de las Personas Vivas con el VIH (PVVIH) es un objetivo que se toma con cada vez más seriedad, y se puede observar una proliferación de trabajos en el ambito de ciencias de la vida que toman fundamento en la hipótesis de los efectos positivos de la actividad física y deportiva. La mayor parte de los estudios que se resumen en la presente revision de literatura han sido llevados a cabo desde el punto de vista de la fisiología del ejercicio y buscan identificar los tipos de prácticas seguras que proporcionen los mayores beneficios en términos de salud y de calidad de vida. No obstante hasta la fecha ningún estudio específico ha tratado ésta tematica desde el punto de vista sociologico. Los autores de ésta revision de literatura hacen una llamada para futuros estudios que enfoquen en el modo en el que el acceso a la práctica física y deportiva se ve afectada por la sepositividad. Se subraya la importancia que los paradigmas de la sociología de la salud y la sociología del ocio de la actividad física puedan tener para el estudio de la práctica deportiva de las personas seropositivas.Palabra clave: Personas seropositivas, actividad fisica, exclusion, sociología de la salud.Abstract: The scientific literature about AIDS and physical exercise has been traditionally dominated by biomedical approaches. The first studies which were published in the beginning of the nineties focused mainly on the transmission risks of the virus during sports. Later studies were concerned with the physiological logics of the exercise on HIV-positive persons. Since the end of the nineties the therapeutic progress contributed to envisage sport as a way to mediate the side effects of medical treatments. However the present review highlights a serious gap in the literature on Sport and HIV using a sociological point of view. The authors of this article argue that the time has come to consider sociological data linked to the experiences of HIV/AIDS in order to understand the difficulties and barriers that seropositive persons have to face when participating in sport.Key words: seropositive persons, physical activity, exclusion, sociology of health.

Full textAbstract:
We have compared the effects of different 12-week exercise programs on simple and choice reaction and movement times in persons 61 to 84 years old. One hundred thirty-eight volunteers were randomized to either a control group, a two-day exercise group (two 60-min sessions a week of aerobic exercises), or a two-day physical plus cognitive exercise group (two 60-min sessions a week of aerobic and cognitive exercises). At follow-up, the aerobic and cognitive exercise program was found to have resulted in significant positive effects. Improvements were found in the two-day physical plus cognitive exercise group in all of the reaction parameters, particularly improvement in choice reaction time, which is used in most daily activities. Our results suggest that to improve reaction time values, it is advisable to include cognitive features into a physical exercise routine.

Full textAbstract:
HIV infection and its treatment is associated with unfavourable metabolic and morphological abnormalities. These metabolic abnormalities, particularly alterations in body composition and fat distribution, may increase the risk for cardiovascular and metabolic complications, as well as reduce functional independence and lower self-esteem. Thus there is an urgent need to develop interventions intended to manage secondary side effects of HIV or antiretroviral therapy-related complications. In poly-treated patients, nonpharmacological interventions are a logical first step. Exercise training in particular may help alleviate some of the metabolic adverse effects associated with antiretroviral therapy by favourably altering body composition and patterns of body fat distribution. Studies have shown that exercise training, particularly aerobic training, can help reduce total body and visceral fat, as well as normalizing lipid profiles in HIV-infected patients. The results for resistance training, however, are less conclusive. Knowledge of the use of resistance and aerobic training and its attendant effects on insulin resistance and adipocytokines may represent an effective nonpharmacologic means for treating metabolic complications of HIV-infected persons who are receiving appropriate antiretroviral therapy. In this brief review we examine the effects of aerobic and resistance training on body composition, body fat distribution, and selected metabolic outcomes. Key words: lipodystrophy, highly active anti-retroviral therapy, aerobic training, resistance training

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurodegenerative disease of the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. Among persons with MS, 30% experience significant mobility impairment that requires use of a wheelchair for mobility. Exercise is an evidence-based second-line therapy that can improve mobility; however, little research has focused on individuals that use wheelchairs for mobility. Framed by social cognitive theory (SCT), we conducted a formative qualitative study examining exercise status and perceptions among 20 persons with MS who use wheelchairs for mobility. Using deductive, semantic thematic analysis, we coded for SCT variables (i.e. self-efficacy, knowledge, outcome expectations, barriers and facilitators) and identified participants as regular or inconsistent exercisers. In total, 12 participants were classified as regular exercisers and 8 inconsistent exercisers. Regular exercisers more frequently reported high self-efficacy, consistent exercise knowledge and numerous facilitators. All participants reported some positive outcome expectations and several barriers and facilitators. These findings can inform future intervention studies supporting exercise behavior change through SCT. Strategies such as increasing self-efficacy, imparting instructional materials, shaping realistic outcome expectations and providing tools directed toward overcoming barriers and identifying facilitators may work to support the exercise endeavor of persons with MS who use wheelchairs for mobility.

Full textAbstract:
A group of five HIV-positive gay men were compared with a group of five HIV-negative gay men. All participants were currently engaged in therapy. Participants completed the Session Evaluation Questionnaire (SEQ) and the Session Impacts Scale (SIS) in order to determine what these different groups of individuals felt was helpful or hindering in therapy. Results indicated that both groups of participants found therapy to be powerful, valuable, and helpful in that they: (a) learned something new about themselves or others, (b) changed their ways of thinking, (c) acquired insight into issues, (d) were more clear about their feelings, (e) were able to define their problems, and (f) were feeling understood, supported, and close to their counsellor. In comparison to the HIV-negative group, the HIV-positive group experienced many hindering aspects to counselling. Seropositive participants felt: (a) less understood, supported, and close to their counsellor, (b) more confused, or distracted in counselling, (c) more bothered by unpleasant thoughts in counselling, (d) more impatient or doubting of the value of therapy, and (e) felt more angry, more afraid, and less confident during and as a result of therapy. Implications for counselling are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immune deficiency syndrome pandemic (HIV/AIDS) continues to increase in prevalence worldwide, particularly in South Africa. There is a concurrent and distinct increase in the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and HIV-related diseases in the paediatric population in South Africa, particularly those using public sector health services, with a corresponding increase in morbidity and mortality rates (Abdool Karim & Abdool Karim, 2010:363), which impacts greatly on paediatric healthcare services. Adding to this, the provision of paediatric antiretroviral care has numerous stumbling blocks, not least of which is lack of decentralisation of facilities to provide treatment. There is the additional shortage of staff, which includes staff that are comfortable dealing with children, lack of training programmes on the provision of antiretroviral therapy to children, and minimal on-site mentorship of staff regarding HIV/AIDS disease in children. This lack of capacity in the healthcare system means that not all of those who require treatment will be able to access it, and this is particularly pertinent to paediatric patients (Meyers et al., 2007:198). Therefore the purpose of this research was to develop a nursing model that would assist healthcare professionals, in particular professional nurses, to optimise the comprehensive treatment, care and support for HIV-positive children who require antiretroviral therapy at PHC clinics. To achieve the purpose of this study, a theory-generating design based on a qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual approach was implemented by the researcher to gain an understanding of how the healthcare professionals and parents/caregivers of HIV-positive children experienced the comprehensive treatment, care and support provided at primary healthcare clinics. The information obtained was used to develop a chronic care coordination model for the optimisation of comprehensive treatment, care and support for HIV-positive children requiring antiretroviral therapy. The study design comprised the following four steps: Step One of the research design focused on the identification, classification and definition of the major concepts of the study. This involved describing and selecting the research population and the sampling process prior to conducting the field work which comprised in-depth interviews with two groups of participants, namely healthcare professionals and parents/caregivers who accompany their HIV-positive children to PHC clinics in order to receive antiretroviral therapy. Step Two of the research design focused on the development of relationship statements in order to bring clarity and direction to the understanding of the phenomenon of interest. Step Three of the design concentrated on the development and description of the chronic care coordination model for optimising comprehensive treatment, care and support for HIV-positive children who require antiretroviral therapy in order to ensure a well-managed child on ART. A visual representation of the structure of the model for chronic care coordination was given and described as well as a detailed description of the process of the model. Step Four was the last step of the research design and its focus was the development of guidelines for the operationalisation of the model for chronic care coordination for the optimisation of comprehensive treatment, care and support for HIV-positive children requiring antiretroviral therapy at PHC clinics. Guidelines and operational implications for each of the five sequential steps of the model were developed. The evaluation criteria of Chinn & Kramer (2008:237‒248) were used to evaluate the model. It is therefore concluded that the researcher succeeded in achieving the purpose for this study because a chronic care coordination model that is understandable, clear, simple, applicable and significant to nursing practice has been developed for use by healthcare professionals, particularly professional nurses, in order to optimise the comprehensive treatment, care and support for HIV-positive children requiring antiretroviral therapy at primary healthcare clinics.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is one of the leading chronic diseases affecting people in South Africa and throughout the world. This study aimed to investigate the effect disclosure of HIV status had on antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. A convenience sample of 65 HIV positive adult patients currently taking ART at a public Primary Health Care (PHC) clinic in the Nelson Mandela Metropole was selected. Participation was voluntary and confidentiality was maintained at all times. Data was collected using three tools/techniques: (1) a Patient Questionnaire (PQ) to extract information on patient's demographics, HIV disclosure status, regimen the patient was on and self-reported adherence to ART; (2) an audit of a Patient Medical Record (PMR) for information on the regimen the patient was on, the period during which the patient had been on ART medication, the adherence to ART care and the level of the patient‟s biological markers; and (3) Pill Counts (PC) performed on the patient's medical supply to validate the self-reported adherence to ART. There was no significant relationship between the disclosure of HIV status and adherence to ART (p= 0.59; Chi²). However, the relationship between the adherence to ART and increase in the CD4 count levels of patients on ART in this population was significant (p=0.03; Chi²). It can be concluded that no direct relationship was found between the disclosure of HIV status and adherence to ART in this population. However, several factors affected the reasons and decisions of individuals to disclose their HIV status and this influenced their daily taking of medication.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As the only effective treatment for HIV/AIDS, adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for successful treatment outcomes. Despite its open availability since the national rollout in 2004, adherence to ART has remained sub-optimal and the number of individuals shifted to the more expensive second-line therapy on steady increase. The literature reports more commonly on individual, psychological, and behavioural barriers to treatment. However, there has been a vast interest in the structural barriers that prohibit adherence to ART. In previous research, my colleagues and I identified the following structural barriers to treatment adherence: stigma-related barriers, the disincentives associated with disability grants, poor relationships with clinic staff, lack of privacy at clinics for counselling and treatment, transport difficulties in travelling to the clinic, long patient waiting times, food insecurity, substance abuse and the absence of substance abuse programmes, and migration. The data were arrived at by means of triangulated qualitative interviews obtained from patients, patient advocates, doctors, and nurses. Together, these qualitative data formed phase 1 of this study. The next step or phase 2, in this research was to develop a valid and reliable quantitative instrument based on these qualitative data. Therefore the primary aim of the study presented in this thesis was to identify the underlying factor structure of four scales aimed at measuring adherence at two levels namely, adherence to clinic attendance, and adherence to pill-taking. After sampling a group of almost 300 persons living with HIV (PLWH) four valid and reliable scales assessing structural barriers to adherence to ART were derived at with Cronbach alpha coefficients ranging from 0.87 to 0.91. For each scale, a general or higher order factor was determined by means of hierarchical transformation suggesting that the items on each of the scales were dominated by a single underlying factor. The findings of this research suggest that it is possible to assess the structural barriers to adherence that PLWH face on a daily basis. With a proper means, such as these scales, to assess structural barriers to adherence to ART clinicians may be able to identify patients who are likely to default and provide adequate attention to the most distressing barriers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Antiretrovirale terapie (ART) is die enigste effektiewe behandeling teen MIV/Vigs. Behandeling met hierdie terapie kan slegs suksesvol voltooi word indien die medikasie ononderbroke en gereeld geneem word. Alhoewel medikasie vrylik beskikbaar was sedertdien die nasionale bekendstelling in 2004, het die aantal individue wat na duurder tweede lyn terapie oorgegaan het toegeneem. Die volhoubaarheid van ART was dus nie optimaal nie. Dit kan toegeskryf word aan individuele -, sielkundige - en gedragstruikelblokke tydens behandeling wat tans baie aandag geniet in die literatuur. Om by te voeg, strukturele hindernisse tot ART geniet ook tans baie aandag. Met hierdie as agtergrond, was die primêre doel van die studie om die onderliggende faktor struktuur van vier skale wat strukturele hindernisse tot ART op twee vlakke meet, naamlik getroue kliniek bywoning en neem van medikasie, te indentifiseer. Ons het met vorige navorsing die volgende strukturele hindernisse tot ART geidentifiseer: stigma-verwante hindernisse, hindernisse wat verband hou met ongeskiktheidstoelaes, swak verhoudings met kliniek personeel, die gebrek aan privaatheid by klinieke in terme van berading en behandeling, vervoerprobleme, lang wagtye vir pasiënte, voedselonsekerheid, dwelmmisbruik en die afwesigheid van middelmisbruik-programme, asook migrasie. Data aangaande bogenoemde strukturele hindernisse is ingesamel deur middel van kwalitatiewe onderhoude met pasiënte, pasiënt-advokate, dokters en verpleegsters (fase 1). Gedurende fase 2 van hierdie studie is 'n geldige en betroubare kwantitatiewe instrument op grond van hierdie kwalitatiewe data ontwikkel. 'n Steekproef van ongeveer 300 MIV-geinfekteerde individue het deelgeneem. Vier geldige en betroubare skale is ontwikkel ten opsigte van die assessering van strukturele hindernisse in terme van gereelde gebruik van antiretrivale middels, met Cronbach alpha koëffisiënte tussen 0.87 en 0.91. Vir elke skaal is 'n algemene of hoër-orde faktor bepaal deur middel van hiërargiese transformasie wat daarop dui dat die items op elk van die skale gekenmerk is deur 'n enkele onderliggende faktor. Ons bevindinge dui daarop dat dit moontlik is om die strukturele hindernisse wat MIV individue daagliks tot ART ondervind te meet. Met die gebruik van hierdie skale sal klinici dus in staat wees om pasiënte te identifiseer wat moontlik van ART sal afwyk of die terapie sal staak met die klem op mees onstellende hindernisse.

The current study aims to determine physical activity levels among people living with HIV treated with high active antiretroviral therapy in Kigali, Rwanda. A cross-sectional design using quantitative method was used. The participantâs levels of physical activity participation and their association with anthropometric profiles were measured, using a structured selfadministered questionnaire adapted from the Sub-Saharan Africa Activity Questionnaire. Based on a scientific calculation, 407 clients passing through the clinics were included in the study. A convenient sample of people attending the clinics approached to participate voluntarily in the study. The findings of the current study highlighted the lack of motivation, lack of time and fear of worsening the disease amongst the strong barriers to physical activity participation. The current study recommends education about the benefits of physical activity participation and encouragement of patient treated with high active antiretroviral therapy in Rwanda to be emphasized on to improve their lives.

Background: This study explored the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in a region of Northern Thailand and Key Informants (Kls). The principal aim of the study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the factors contributing to non-adherence in patients taking Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). The data from both PL WHA and Kls were integrated and. analysed to provide an intervention programs aimed at improving adherence in patients commencing HAART. The study itself was divided into three Phases: Phase One was an in-depth exploration of the barriers and ways of improving adherence, Phase Two comprised a series of interventions aimed at patients starting HAART for the first time and Phase Three evaluated the effectiveness of these interventions. Study Population: The study population in Phase One comprised a cohort of 32 HIV infected patients who were over 18 years old and had taken HAART for at least 6 months. Another cohort was comprised 21 Kls who had experience working with HIV care and patients taking HAART. In Phase Two, the population comprised 22 HIV infected patients who were commencing HAART for the first time. After 3 months these same participants were reinterviewed for Phase Three of the study to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of the interventions. Methods: Both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods were used in the study. The qualitative component used a multiple case study approach to explore and describe the experiences of patients receiving HAART. The study was strengthened by the inclusion of in-depth interviews with Kls with extensive knowledge and experience with HIV/AIDS and HAART programs. The quantitative component comprised a demographic survey of both the patients and Kls. This demographic data was used to provide descriptive statistics of the research population and assist with the interpretation of the qualitative data. Results: The findings from Phase One identified a number of interventions that could realistically be implemented to improve medication adherence on patients commencing HAART for the first time. The Phase Three findings showed there were improvements in the patient's adherence to HAAR T during the 3 months of implementing the interventions. The study identified a number of recommendations that Health Care Providers (HCPs) and policy makers could implement to improve medication adherence rates in patients taking HAAR T. The recommendations also included suggestions for future research, Conclusion: The financial and social burden of PL WHA presents an urgent challenge to policy-makers and Health Care Providers to identify sensitive and cost effective management strategies to support such patients and their families. One of the most crucial challenges is to develop interventions that enable patients to gain optimum benefit from the new advances in HIV treatment. A key factor in optimising the benefits of HIV treatment is improving adherence to treatment. The findings from the present study outline a number of interventions that can be cost effectively implemented to improve adherence to HAART and the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS.

Full textAbstract:
The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of an 11-week combined progressive resistance exercise and aerobic exercise programme on the health and well-being of a group of participants sampled from an HIV positive rural population. The study was exploratory and quasi-experimental in nature and utilised quantitative research methods. A total number of 37 participants that met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The participants were assigned to an experimental group (EG) (n=19) based on their willingness to participate in the exercise intervention and the remainder were assigned to the control group (CG) (n=17). The experimental group participated in an 11-week intervention programme which entailed exercising twice a week for the duration of 60 minutes. The intervention entailed a low cost exercise programme which consisted of aerobic exercises (walking, jogging and stepping) and progressive resistance exercises (own body weight, core exercises and light free weight training). The following variables were measured pre-, mid- and post- intervention, namely: health related fitness components, quality of life, physical activity levels and relevant blood variables. An analysis of data was conducted utilising descriptive and inferential statistics. The outcome of the analyses indicated that the EG did not reveal significantly better post-intervention results than the CG in respect of any of the variables assessed. The CG remained sedentary during the intervention period and revealed either an increase in, or maintenance of the initial scores. The slight variation could have been attributed to the decrease in sample size at mid – and post – testing. At the post-intervention testing phase the majority of the participants available for testing were those who were working and healthy. However, it can be concluded that the overall aims and objectives of the study were achieved despite the attrition of participants during the study and that the subsequent outcome of the study was not expected.

The arrival of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 1996 resulted in increased life expectancy for HIV-positive patients. Consequently, end-organ failure and associated disease has become a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. Up to 30% of HIV-positive individuals have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as a direct consequence of HIV infection (HIV-associated nephropathy [HIVAN]), drug toxicities, or other comorbidities (...

The right to work is one of the basic human rights guaranteed in most modern states by the constitution as the highest legal act. Every person who is legally capable has the right to work and that right cannot be denied. However, in practice this is not the case. There are particularly endangered categories of the population who, despite constitutional and legal guarantees, cannot exercise their right to work due to various personal characteristics and traits. The basis for discrimination can be gender, age, religion, and nationality, as well as a certain disease that does not make a person incapable of work. The paper will pay special attention to people who are positive for HIV, and who suffer from a special type of social discrimination, degradation, and disrespect for their basic human rights due to this specific disease.

A 46-year-old woman with a remote history of classical migraine had development of pain behind her left eye followed by holocephalic headache. She subsequently began to have episodic headaches. Her sleep became disrupted. Irritability, cognitive symptoms, and fatigue then developed. Her headaches occurred daily, along with whole-body discomfort. She underwent polysomnography and was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Her sleep quality improved with continuous positive airway pressure therapy, but her daily headaches, cognitive symptoms, and limb pain persisted. She was diagnosed with “seronegative Lyme disease.” Fourteen days of doxycycline therapy was not accompanied by improvement in symptoms. After extensive laboratory evaluations and consultations, the patient was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Short trials of low doses of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, gabapentin, and pregabalin were undertaken, but these were poorly tolerated and discontinued in each instance. The patient was concerned that she may have multiple sclerosis, and she underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. The radiology report documented multiple, small areas of T2-signal change, and demyelinating disease was included in the radiologic differential diagnosis. The patient then sought a second opinion. Evaluations at Mayo Clinic supported evidence of diffuse myofascial limb and back pain and tenderness. Brain magnetic resonance images were reviewed. Extensive work-up for alternative differential diagnostic considerations for her pain was unremarkable. The patient was diagnosed with fibromyalgia with features of central sensitization, with brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrating nonspecific radiologic abnormalities. A detailed discussion about fibromyalgia and central sensitization was undertaken with the patient. The concepts rehabilitative approaches were reviewed. Slowly progressive, incremental, physical reconditioning, and cognitive behavioral retraining were recommended. She was advised to complete a fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue treatment program, focusing on cognitive and behavioral approaches, stress management, sleep hygiene, balanced lifestyle, moderation, energy conservation, and graded exercise. No new medications were recommended given her previous poor tolerance. The patient’s atypical symptoms, normal examination findings, and brain magnetic resonance imaging appearance assisted in excluding a diagnosis of demyelinating disease. The radiologic findings, termed white matter leukoaraiotic change, are commonly encountered in healthy persons as they age, particularly in patients with migraine or those with microvascular risk factors.

This chapter explores the AIDS epidemic, which presents severe manifestations of various opportunistic infections (OIs) in hosts whose immune systems were compromised. It describes how individuals with AIDS succumbed to pneumocystic pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, disseminated mycobacterium, and several other OIs and malignancies. It explains how HIV-positive persons can be largely unaffected by OI when they remain well-adherent to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The chapter mentions barriers to care and medication adherence that allow HIV to progress, leaving patients susceptible to OI. It focuses on prophylaxis for OI in HIV-positive patients as an important topic and cornerstone of providing care for this patient population.

Abstract: This chapter outlines ways in which clinicians can prevent committing microaggressions and grow in cultural competence. Critical self-examination, which means bringing hidden racism to light, is essential before one can make a change. As such, it is important that all clinicians take stock of their biases through a fearless moral inventory. Challenging personal stereotypes, clinicians must be willing to examine and correct any stereotypical beliefs because they are not immune from the cultural forces that produce these difficulties as normative processes. The chapter describes ways to cultivate a multicultural perspective through the use of thoughtfully planned exercises aimed at confronting differences, which will reduce anxiety, increase confidence, and reduce the propensity to microaggress. This includes discussion of connecting with others who are different. Learning to acknowledge, address, and navigate power, privilege, and racism in cross-racial friendships may be similar to doing the same within a therapeutic relationship, and these non-professional relationships may inform a therapist’s personal and professional development. Allies are people who recognize the unearned privilege they receive from society’s patterns of injustice and take responsibility for changing these patterns. Through an example of a couple’s session, allyship and providing therapy for microaggressions experienced by one of the clients are outlined. Finally, supportive racial statements including positive statements about a person’s culture can be an important means of helping them feel understood, appreciated, and supported.

By its decision in case Goodwin v. United Kingdom (2002), The European Court of Human Rights has recognized the positive obligation of states to provide conditions for the legal recognition of preferred gender in the context of the right to respect for private life. In this regard, the Court emphasized gender identity as an important element of personal identity and an integral part of the transgender person's right to private life. On the other hand, states have kept their margin of appreciation regarding requirements needed for changing gender data in civil registries or in other words legal recognition of preferred gender. After Goodwin case, that has laid foundations for the rights of transgender people to gender identity, further development of this right was set by the decision of the European Court of Human Rights in case A.P., Garçon and Nicot v. France (2017). By this decision, the Court has further narrow the margin of appreciation removing imposing of sterilisation as a requirement for legal gender recognition. Finally, The European Court of Human Rights has taken the position in the latest judgment X and Y. v. Romania (2021) that conditioning legal recognition of preferred gender with surgical interventions of gender reassignment represents breach of the right to respect private life. Thus, the Court further approached Council of Europe Resolution 1728 (2010) according to which states are suggested to remove from the requirements for legal gender recognition the subjection to any medical service of gender reassignment, including hormone therapy. Domestic legislation has retained only hormone therapy as a necessary condition for legal gender reassignment. Although this solution is in accordance with the latest case law of the European Court of Human Rights, another step is needed to make the exercise of the right to gender identity adjusted to the "soft law" of the Council of Europe and the bodies under the auspices of the United Nations.

Full textAbstract:
Reactions to cancer and how people cope with it are individual and will depend on both personal and social and cultural factors. In most cases, people diagnosed with cancer will make positive adjustments with the support of their family, friends, and routine professional care. However, up to 30% will experience some form of brief disruptive emotional crisis, and as many as 20% of people with cancer will experience a mental disorder, requiring professional intervention. More severe reactions include post-traumatic stress disorder, which can be long-lasting and disabling. However, some people experience post-traumatic growth, finding positive change in their lives. Nurses can support patients and families through difficult periods of adjustment. Psychological support can be offered at different levels, depending on the nurse’s training and qualifications. Depression is persistent and unvarying low mood, which is different from sadness in both quality and degree. It affects about 20% of people with cancer. It can be detected through nursing assessment and screening tools like the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Depression can be effectively treated with antidepressants and psychological therapies, including cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Anxiety is a common experience but can become a problem if it becomes severe or long-lasting, or interferes with everyday life. Anxiety management includes exercise and rest, time management, goal planning, and relaxation. Medication should only be used for short-term anxiety management. Nurses can help patients manage their anxiety by helping them to feel in control, involving them in decision-making, and providing information.

Today the practice of play therapy is used increasingly in psychological activities. In addition, the specialist includes a transformational game (t-game) in the training form of work or individual counseling more often. The game practice involves the use of a t-game to immerse its participants in a streaming state easily, which allows them to comprehend quickly their internal experiences in a difficult or desirable situation. Game activity allows the participant of the process to actualize and understand his/her condition in the specific life circumstances quickly and to work out his problems at a deep unconscious level with the help of psychological tools and the host of the t-game. In the context of the game а person can more easily comprehend his/her limiting beliefs, resources of inner strength and go through necessary transformation. Psychological game training "From Luck to Success" created in 2019 is a t-game and author's methodology that helps the client to deal with the request and to get closer to the goal achieving. The scientific basis of the methodology was the stages of effective communications of M. Forverg; R. Dilts' pyramid of logical levels; positive psychology; exercises and practice from coaching, gestalt approach, mindfulness meditation, autogenic training. In three years, more than 150 transformational games of this training were held where more than 600 people took part. As a result of this work the following areas were identified to develop the request: Through the provided psychological technique you can consider a difficult life situation (relationships, marriage, health, work, money, etc.) and understand the way to solve it; reconsider your attitude to the problem and take responsibility for actions to change your life for the better; find new and non-standard ways to achieve your goals; see a difficult situation from the other side and change attitudes towards it; determine your internal resources and strength to achieve the desired thing; make a wish, a dream; see what blocks prevent to manifest it in the life and make an action plan to implement it. Gaming activity allows a person to achieve a state of mind harmony and go through their transformational path from luck to success. Сегодня практика игровой терапии все чаще применяется в психологической деятельности. И все чаще в тренинговую форму работы или индивидуальное консультирование специалист включает трансформационную игру (т-игру). Игропрактика предусматривает использование т-игры для легкого погружения ее участников в потоковое состояние, которое позволяет быстрее осмыслить свои внутренние переживания в сложной или желаемой ситуации. Игровая деятельность дает возможность участнику процесса актуализировать и понять свое состояние в конкретных жизненных обстоятельствах и, с помощью психологических инструментов и ведущего т-игры, проработать свои проблемы на глубинном бессознательном уровне. В условиях игры человек может легче осмыслить свои ограничивающие убеждения, ресурсы внутренней силы и пройти необходимую трансформацию. Психологический игротренинг «От Удачи к Успеху», созданный в 2019 году, является т-игрой и авторской методикой, помогающей клиенту разобраться с запросом, и приблизится к достижению цели. Научную основу методики составили известные и авторские концепции и техники: этапы эффективных коммуникаций М. Форверга; пирамида логических уровней Р. Дилтса; позитивная психология; упражнения и практика из коучинга, гештатльт-подхода, осознанных медитаций, аутогенной тренировки. За три года было проведено больше 150 трансформационных игр данного игротренинга, в которых приняли участие более 600 человек. Благодаря проделанной работе были выявлены следующие направления для проработки запроса. Через предоставленную психологическую методику можно: рассмотреть сложную жизненную ситуацию (отношения, замужество, здоровье, работу, деньги и т.д.) и понять путь для ее решения; пересмотреть своё отношение к проблеме и взять ответственность на себя за действия для изменения своей жизни к лучшему; найти новые и нестандартные пути достижения своих целей; увидеть сложную ситуацию с другой стороны и изменить отношения к ней; определить свои внутренние ресурсы и силы для достижения желаемого; загадать желание, мечту; посмотреть, какие блоки мешают проявиться этому в жизнь и составить план действий для реализации задуманного. Игровая деятельность позволяет человеку достичь душевное состояние гармонии и пройти свой трансформационный путь от удачи к успеху.
