Full textAbstract:
Effective medical communication is an extremely important aspect of patient-centered medicine. It allows for achieving better treatment outcomes and is of key importance in the case of patients experiencing mental problems. Research clearly indicates that the quality of communication is a fundamental element of medical services, which not only affects patient satisfaction, but can also reduce the risk of burnout among staff who have contact with patients. A sense of mutual understanding translates into trust and contributes to more conscientious adherence to medical recommendations. Considering the cooperation of all medical and non-medical personnel, high-quality communication reduces the risk of tensions and conflicts, as well as the number of complaints reported by patients. Both research findings and our own experience show that individuals with mental disorders often feel misunderstood, stigmatised, or ignored by healthcare personnel. Based on the above assumptions, the experts from Józef Babiński Specialist Hospital in Kraków developed their own program entitled “Communication in the Treatment Process.” It was implemented in 2018 by the Ministry of Health among over 2,500 professionals in the Małopolskie and Podkarpackie provinces. The aim of the project was to improve the communication skills of medical and non-medical personnel in the context of communication with patients with mental disorders. The paper describes in detail the theoretical background, the goals, and the course of the program.

Background: The security personnel of our country including Army Personnel, C.I.S.F., Police and other security personnel bear a large amount of physical and psychological stress to maintain law and order situations at different corners of the country at different situations. To assess the Psychiatric Morbidity in C.I.S.F., the course of referrals of Para-military persons to a tertiary care hospital and to evaluate the Mental Health burden in the Para-military set up by virtue of their occupation. Methods: The study sample included all the consecutive patients referred by CISF Headquarters Hospital to the Mental Health Institute (MHI), S.C.B. Medical College, Cuttack, Odisha, from April 2015 to March 2016. The clinical information is collected from the patient and accompanying personnel from CISF or family members who accompanied the patient. The diagnosis is based on ICD-10 and the final opinion is given by the consultants of Psychiatry after final evaluation of all the reports. Results: Psychiatric assessment for job fitness (48%) was the dominant cause for referral of PMF staff to MHI. Substance abuse (alcohol) related disorders were the next common cause of referral (20%).Conclusions: Mental health burden in Para-military bases are substantial which should be taken care of in urgency basis. There is urgent need of posting of Psychiatrists with Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatric Social Worker or a team of the Mental Health Professionals should visit the paramilitary set ups regularly to look into improper diagnosis and review cases.

The growing number of older adults and the increasing recognition and growth of integrated health teams are creating expanded career opportunities for mental health counselors (MHCs). Collaborative integrated teams, staffed with medical personnel and MHCs, can provide comprehensive patient-centered care that addresses client issues from a biopsychosocial perspective. However, working with older adults on an integrated health team or in an interdisciplinary setting presents unique challenges and raises ethical issues. The evolving opportunities and strategies to address accompanying challenges are highlighted so that MHCs can be prepared to work effectively with older adults in interdisciplinary settings and on integrated health care teams.

BackgroundFor armed forces personnel, data on help-seeking behaviour and receipt of treatment for mental disorders are important for both research and policy.AimsTo examine mental healthcare service use and receipt of treatment in a sample of the UK military.MethodParticipants were drawn from an existing UK military health cohort. The sample was stratified by reserve status and by participation in the main war-fighting period of the Iraq War. Participants completed a telephone-based structured diagnostic interview comprising the Patient Health Questionnaire and Primary Care Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Screen (PC–PTSD), and a series of questions about service utilisation and treatment receipt.ResultsOnly 23% of those with common mental disorders and still serving in the military were receiving any form of medical professional help. Non-medical sources of help such as chaplains were more widely used. Among regular personnel in receipt of professional help, most were seen in primary care (79%) and the most common treatment was medication or counselling/psychotherapy. Few regular personnel were receiving cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT). These findings are comparable with those reported for the general population.ConclusionsIn the UK armed forces, the majority of those with mental disorders are not currently seeking medical help for their symptoms. Further work to understand barriers to care is important and timely given that this is a group at risk of occupational psychiatric injury.

Aims and methodTo share evaluation findings of a new decentralised mental healthcare system addressing Axis I disorders, developed in four subdistricts of Aceh Besar in Indonesia following the 2004 Asian tsunami. Two complementary methodologies were employed: an adequacy survey that assessed whether agreed programme implementation tasks were completed, and an outcome study that utilised patient, caregiver and staff assessment of the programme to determine what changes, if any, resulted from participation in the programme.ResultsThe system is functional in 3 of 4 subdistricts, and 47 of 53 subdistrict clinics (puskesmas) have trained mental healthcare nurses. Both patients and caregivers reported statistically significant differences when ranking patient wellbeing and were able to qualitatively describe specific changes in patient symptomatology and social functioning.Clinical implicationsResults indicate that (a) the creation of a decentralised system with outreach at multiple levels, (b) emphasis on staff capacity building within a wider household-to-hospital continuum of care, and (c) incorporation of community volunteers working with trained medical personnel led to effective treatment options for people with Axis I disorders in a resource-poor setting.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Health care-associated infection (HAI) is a serious problem that deeply impacts patient safety and is a major cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Adherence to standard safety measures while performing procedures and related infection control measures is a part of nurses responsibility as it protects patients and health care workers from transmission of health-care associated infections. Assessing practice of standard safety measures while performing nursing procedures is immensely important so that necessary changes can be brought to enhanced quality nursing care. Methodology: The study adopted an observational descriptive research design. The setting of the study was the Tertiary Mental Health Institute, North-East, India. The sample of the study consisted of the thirty eight (38) nursing personnel who performed the total 150 procedures i.e. 30 times of each five domains (waste disposal, intramuscular injection, intravenous injection, hand-washing, aseptic wound dressing). Convenience sampling technique was used. Result: Finding showed that all the nursing personnel followed proper waste disposal practice but partially adhere to standard safety measures while administering intramuscular and intravenous injections. Whereas practice on standard safety measures while performing hand washing and aseptic wound dressing were less than average. Conclusion: The present study highlights the importance of in-service education on standard safety measures by incorporating new guidelines of nursing procedures based on evidence based practices. In-service education brought changes in the performance level as it is showed that the nursing personnel who had earlier received in-service education on Bio-medical waste management from the institute followed satisfactory waste disposal practice. Keywords: Standard safety measures, nursing personnel.

BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) emerges in Wuhan, China and becomes a pandemic on March 2020. Its manifestations mainly cover respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. In fact, mental health disorders are common in patients with COVID-19 but receive minimum attention.
AIM: We aimed to discuss mental health disturbances in relation to COVID-19 and its management.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We gathered literature regarding the topic from electronic sources, including PubMed and Google Scholar.
RESULTS: There are several pathogeneses proposed regarding the incidence of mental health problems. The symptoms of mental health problems vary widely and also affect health-care personnel. Diagnosing mental health problem in COVID-19 patients is quite difficult because no examinations are specific enough. The management of mental health problems includes psychological and medical managements.
CONCLUSION: Further study regarding mental health problem and its management in patients with COVID-19 is mandatory.

Full textAbstract:
Communication between the doctor and the patient is one of the most important elements affecting the treatment process. The trust, which determines the patients’ health attitude and their implementation of medical recommendations, is built by maintaining an appropriate doctor-patient relationship. A trusting patients demonstrate better mental and physical well-being, obtain better diagnostic results, use preventive healthcare services more frequently, and show greater confidence in the overall health system. Nevertheless, in order for the patients to exhibit such behaviors, they must trust the physician, which is influenced by many important issues: the maintenance an appropriate doctor-patient relationship, the patients’ hope, the prevailing opinion about the physician as well as stereotypes about the medical profession (including age, gender, professional experience, professional and scientific title). This paper presents different models of the doctor-patient relationship and how each of them affects the level of trust in the discussed relationship. In addition, it is described how stereotypes about medical personnel influence the trust among patients. All information included in the study are based on the available literature.

Healthcare 10, no. 9 (September 9, 2022): 1735. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/healthcare10091735.
Full textAbstract:
A high prevalence of smoking and low rates of smoking cessation interventions can be observed in psychiatric wards. A questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study was performed in five hospitals among 107 psychiatric ward nurses. The aim was to investigate nurses’ views on patients’ smoking practices and their influence on the safety of both the patients and medical personnel. In addition, we asked about the availability of smoking cessation support. Most of the respondents noticed the negative impacts of smoking on patients and medical personnel. Nearly a third of our respondents (29.0%) recalled smoking-related accidents in their facilities. In 45.2% of these accidents, a patient set someone else on fire. Around one fifth of nurses had rather permissive attitudes towards tobacco use in hospital wards. Significant associations were identified between respondents’ smoking status and their opinions on amending smoking policies and on unsupervised smoking. Regarding professional help available to smoking patients, 88.8% of participants reported that interventions to address smoking were available in their wards. Psychiatric hospitalisation can be an opportunity to offer tobacco treatment to patients with mental health conditions. To make use of this opportunity, smoke-free policies need to be put in place and hospital personnel, particularly nurses, should be trained and equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to assist in the smoking care of psychiatric ward patients.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding and assessing the needs of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel and other first responders is crucial for providing these individuals with the resources needed within their community. The literature discusses how EMS personnel are at risk for psychological impairment due to routine exposure to traumatic events and occupational stressors within EMS organizations. Additionally, the research has supported the importance of positive coping abilities, organizational belongingness, and social support within the lives of EMS personnel to enable them to resiliently handle the occupational stress of their job. This study investigated the occupational needs of EMS providers to determine if they are receiving resources within their organization to cope with occupational stressors. Participants for this study comprised (n=153) paramedics and fire-fighters from the Tidewater EMS Council organization. A needs assessment was conducted to explore correlations between quality of life, resiliency, years of service, level of education, burnout, secondary traumatic stress, interpersonal support, positive and negative religious coping, and the occupational needs of EMS personnel. The results revealed that burnout (r=4.27**) and secondary traumatic stress (r.215*) were important factors for determining occupational turnover among EMS personnel. Furthermore, EMS providers reported occupational needs such as easier access to mental health, improved staff relations, adequate staffing, and improved shift hours are needed within their organization. Future research should explore differences in occupational needs with EMS providers among EMS organizations in metropolitan and rural communities.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The interpersonal relationship between nurses and clients is seen as the central element or core activity of mental health nursing. Without this relationship therapeutic alliance cannot take place. Concern has been expressed that nurse prescribing could have a negative impact on the nurse patient relationship and result in the nurse sacrificing nursing skills for the prescribing role. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the nurse patient relationship in the mental health setting when the nurse is a prescriber. In order to do this a comprehensive literature review was undertaken and views of participants were explored and relationships described. Methodology and methods: Nurse prescribers were sent questionnaires to gather demographic data and basic qualitative data. Focus groups and interviews were undertaken within a large NHS Foundation Trust. A constructivist approach was used with 57 participants including nurse prescribers, pharmacist prescribers, nurse managers, clients and doctors. A discussion guide and an iterative approach were used to clarify findings. Data analysis was guided by a Framework approach. Findings: The majority of clients preferred to have their nurse prescribe for them. Trust was highly valued within the pre-established relationship and clients found nurses easier to talk to about their medication than doctors. Nurse prescribers placed high importance on being able to reduce and discontinue medication for the client, terming this ‘un-prescribing’. Nurse prescribers were uncomfortable with the concept of power, preferring to use the term ‘empowerment’. All groups of participants were unanimous that nurse prescribers continued to provide care and that they had not moved from a traditional ‘caring’ role to a ‘medical’ curing role and importance was placed on the therapeutic alliance between nurse prescribers and clients. Conclusion: Rather than detracting from the nurse patient relationship, results from this study suggest that nurse prescribing enables the mental health nurse prescriber to provide more holistic care than previously. The action of ‘un-prescribing’ may indicate a new culture around mental health nurse prescribing

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Burnout is an occupational condition characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a low sense of personal accomplishment. While medical students begin schooling with mental health profiles similar to or better than peers who pursue other careers, there is a downward trajectory throughout school suggesting this phenomenon often originates in medical school. For physicians and residents, burnout has been linked to poor outcomes such as patient safety, might contribute to suicidal ideation and substance abuse, and may undermine professional development. Furthermore, there is a lack of surveillance of the prevalence of medical student burnout in a small-sized school setting.
Methods: The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), a 22-question survey, is largely accepted as the gold standard for assessment; however, we utilized the 7-question, Well-Being Index (WBI), which has been shown equal efficacy as the full MBI. Eligible participants were currently enrolled in their respective class at the East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine. Each year, a participant was given a WBI survey during the winter season (overall response rate 83%, n = 239).
Results: Overall the self-reported burnout rate over the two-year study period was 65.2% and was significantly higher in those reporting as female (71%). There was also variation tracking the class from one year to the next. The second year at this institution showed the highest reported amount of burnout (75%, n=145) while the lowest amount of burnout reported was during the fourth year at 47%.
Conclusions: Burnout experienced at this institution was reportedly higher than national average. There are limitations to this study as the periods in which medical students were asked to answer the survey were consistently at the same time in the calendar year, but the host institution’s curriculum had been changed so that it might not match up accordingly. Furthermore, class sizes changed from year to year and might skew the data. This information suggests that burnout prevalence is higher at Quillen College of Medicine and intervention strategies to address burnout should be pursued.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Amongst all public servants in Hong Kong, health care workers are one of the groups suffering from highest working pressure. They have long working hours and may have overnight shift duties, including Sundays or even public holidays. This may lead to poor job satisfaction, psychological stress and the recent high resignation rate in public hospitals.
The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of the psychological stress, psychological symptoms and job satisfaction of health care workers, the association between stress, psychological symptoms and job satisfaction; and also the factors associated with job satisfaction in a regional hospital in Hong Kong.
Method: Health care workers in a large regional hospital of Hong Kong were surveyed by means of a questionnaire assessing basic demographic data, questions of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Warr-Cook and Wall job satisfaction scale (JSS). Four groups of health care workers (doctors, nurses, allied health workers and supporting staffs) were surveyed. Summary of descriptive statistics were calculated for each group to compare the prevalence of job dissatisfaction, perceived stress, and psychological symptoms. Two-stage analysis will be used. The first stage analysis will use ANOVA test to access the association between job satisfaction and different variables. The second stage analysis will use multivariate regression model to further assess the coefficient correlation of significant factors drawn from ANOVA test with job satisfaction.
Results:
There were 674 eligible questionnaires. About half (47%) of the health care workers reported having perceived stress and a third (33.8%) psychological symptoms.
Doctors reported the (76.8%, 95% C.I = 69.43%, 84.17%) highest level of job satisfaction amongst all the health care workers surveyed. Among staff reporting a GHQ score equal to or more than three, supportive staff had significantly higher prevalence (38.7%, 95% C.I.=27.96%, 49.44%) and doctors the lowest prevalence (28.1%, 95% C.I.= 15.11%, 41.09%) of psychological symptom but proportions were compatible with their counterparts in other countries. The mean score for GHQ-12 was 2.41+/- S.D. 3.28.
The overall mean perceived stress score was 18.14 with SD +/- 5.0. There was no significant difference when different subgroups were compared. The mean PSS scores of all subgroups were lower than their counterparts in other counties but were quite similar to the mean PSS reported during SARS period. Sixty eight percent of all health care workers surveyed were satisfied with their job (respondents indicating “moderately satisfied”, “very satisfied” and “extremely satisfied” on their overall job satisfaction). Values equal to or above 5 reflect being satisfied. The mean value for Job satisfaction was 4.58 +/-S.D. 1.21. The factors including shift duty, perceived stress, and psychological symptoms were negative correlated with job satisfaction. Factors such as clinical work, doctor and secondary school level were positive correlate with job satisfaction.
Conclusion:
Prevalence of perceived stress and psychological symptoms among health care workers were high when compared with the general population (14-17.6% for perceived stress and 28.1% for psychological symptom), but not as high as expected. In contrast to popular belief, doctors had the lowest perceived stress level, lowest prevalence of psychological symptom and the highest job satisfaction among different groups of health care workers. This may be related to higher income, social status and, education background that might help to protect them from depression and anxiety.
Supportive staffs, who felt neglected by management, were found to have the highest prevalence of psychological symptom and higher stress levels. Nurses got highest prevalence of perceived stress. More attentions and resources should be devoted to these groups to cope with their psychological needs and stress.published_or_final_version

AbstractAnalysis of the different attitudes of English medical superintendents and French chief medical officers towards patient occupation provides an insight into the different conceptions of mental disorder and its treatment held by French and English psychiatrists during the interwar period. It also highlights the different management structures of French and English institutions. Authority for running French institutions was shared between a chief medical officer, in charge of medical matters, and an asylum director, responsible for administration and finance. In England, medical superintendents were in sole charge of their hospitals and had the authority to make decisions regarding all matters concerning management and medical treatment, including patient occupation. Psychiatrists' training, professional networks, and attitude towards innovation and risk all contributed to their vision of what constituted effective treatment. In France, this vision could be compromised by the asylum director’s need to maximise the productivity of the patient workforce.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFreebody situates the origin of using work as a medical therapy in moral treatment, which emerged during the early nineteenth century. Work was incorporated as an integral part of moral treatment, which provided the medical and managerial framework for the asylums of England and France. Work was believed to help patients develop self-control and boost their self-esteem. As faith in the efficacy of moral treatment waned in the second half of the nineteenth century, the nature of patient work changed. From work programmes designed to suit the needs of individual patients, work became routinised and bureaucratised. While still percieved as beneficial for the mentally disordered, the financial value of patient work to institutions could outweigh its therapeutic value for patients, as the French psychiatrist Auguste Marie emphasised in 1905.

AbstractThis comparative study of patient work and occupation throws new light on a topic that has only recently attracted scholarly attention. Patient work emerged in the context of moral treatment in the early nineteenth century in both France and England and was used similarly in both asylum systems until World War I. After the war, the approach to patient work and occupation diverged, as Freebody demonstrates using three institutional case studies from each country. An overview of the historiography, not only of patient work and occupational therapy but also of the history of work and working practices, welfare, the emergence of the asylum system, psychiatry, mental nursing and the patient experience, puts Freebody’s analysis in context. Criticism of the use of patient labour in 1918 by asylum medical officer Montagu Lomax provides a benchmark for developments during the interwar period.

AbstractThe comparison of patient occupation in French and English mental institutions has highlighted different attitudes towards the causation and treatment of mental disorder and towards different models of care. It has also emphasised the influence of factors external to institutions, such as poverty, welfare provision, local employment, war and financial crises, on patient occupation. The comparison has revealed how the perceived need by one group of medical professionals (in this case, psychiatrists) for a particular treatment (occupational therapy) can stimulate the growth of a new profession and the infrastructure to support it. It has demonstrated how old ideas and practices can be re-imagined and brought back into use, becoming the hallmark of a modern hospital once again. While the precise nature of the activity and the justifications for its allocation have changed in emphasis over time and in different settings, patient occupation has remained a constant in institutions for the mentally disordered since the early nineteenth century.

AbstractThis case report presents the story of a young woman of Romani descent with a mixed dissociative (conversion) disorder within the contextual evidence-based and value-based medical framework. By painting the picture illustrating the course of her illness and the circumstances leading to the last clinical episode, compelling her most recent hospitalization, we delineate the contrast between common clinical phenomenology and the additional layers of the patient’s beliefs and values. Thus, we emphasize the importance of expanding the one-dimensional mainstream evidence-based approach, not only in cases of cross-cultural doctor-patient interactions but also in general medical practice, since the health attitudes and illness behaviors of every individual are influenced by their values and beliefs. In addition, the contemporary notion of medicine as a factual science requires a paradigm shift toward integrative multifaceted approaches if we as doctors are to treat human beings and not merely diseases.

AbstractThis chapter applies African value-based practice (A-VBP) to the story of Akanya at two major decision points when values clashed: first between the general practitioner and Akanya’s parents when Akanya was acutely psychotic and required hospitalisation and second 8 years later, when Akanya wanted to discontinue his antipsychotic medication against medical advice. For both rather difficult decision points, the story illustrates how an indaba within A-VBP served as a practical process to take seriously and account for values that were clashing (i.e., uncommon ground), framed by values that were shared (i.e., common ground). The story underscores that dissensual decision-making affords more than default responses such as “I offer only what is medically best—take it or leave it” or alternatively “whatever the patient wants.”

AbstractThis paper reviews three competing ways of organizing health care delivery—professionalism, consumerism and statism—and explores how Germany’s exclusively statist model facilitated the ascendency of an alternative Nazi medical ethics predicated on eugenic conceptions of national “race hygiene.” The primary obligation of health care personnel became using their skills and knowledge to achieve the aims of the Nazi state, which justified forcible eugenic sterilization programs, and then the killing of children and adults with mental or physical disabilities and, eventually, the medicalized mass murder of other groups seen to pose a genetic threat to the health of the state, such as homosexuals, Jews, and Roma. The evolving international response to these medical crimes would come to affect medical professional approaches to virtually every issue in contemporary Bioethics, from abortion to xenotransplantation. In the early post-war years, news of German health care professionals’ participation in these actions shocked fellow health care professionals. Many denied these accounts, some defended German researchers, others dismissed the Germans’ justifications of their actions as madness parading as medicine or medical ethics. Ultimately, however, reformers seeking to remedy or prevent actions reminiscent of Nazi medicine created the foundational documents of modern health care professional ethics and the new field of Bioethics. These are the Nuremberg Code, the Declaration of Geneva, and the Belmont Report. In firmly rejecting Nazi medical ethics, these documents emphasize the rights of autonomous individuals, with health professionals serving as their agents, thus cementing modern ideals of health care professionalism.

AbstractIn healthcare companies, shiftwork organization is fundamental to ensure continuous 24-h patient care. This chapter gives an overview of health-related problems associated with shift work and the preventative actions that can be taken to protect workers’ health and well-being. Shift work, in particular night work, results in a disruption of biological circadian rhythms with serious social and psychophysical ramifications for the worker. The adverse health effects of shift work can be both in the short-term (sleep, digestive, mental, and menstrual disorders) and in the medium- to long-term (increased gastrointestinal, neuropsychic, metabolic, and cardiovascular diseases). In 2007, the IARC classified shift work as “probable carcinogen” for humans due to the destructive effects on the circadian rhythm. The modification of the sleep/wake cycle also negatively influences worker’s vigilance and performance (“jet-lag syndrome”) leading to a consequently greater risk of accidents and errors. Shift work can be harmful to the safety of both the worker and the patient. Appropriate shift scheduling that respects ergonomic criteria is important to protect worker and patient health and well-being. Medical residents should be conscious of the legislation and rights regarding shift work to ensure they provide appropriate assistance to patients and to preserve their own social and psychophysical well-being.

Increased survival of oncology patients brings to attention new aspects of adverse effects due to antineoplastic treatment. Psychiatric disorders, cardiovascular disorders as well as the progressive incidence of multiple primary neoplasia are some of the most common side effects. Aim: Care of the oncology patient undergoes an important period of change, from the management of tumor disease to the multidisciplinary approach, centered on improving the quality of life. Method: We present the case of a 75-year-old patient, whose personal pathological history reveals the presence of a diagnosis of left testicular seminoma, in 1978, for which he received radiochemical therapy. An oncological patient under long-term medical supervision for several decades is diagnosed in November 2017 with urothelial carcinoma, infiltrative, invasive in his own muscle patch, pT2NxMx. Approximately 40 years later, the second neoplastic site, the malignant bladder tumor, appears. Facing this diagnosis, the patient becomes anxious, anticipates catastrophic consequences, isolates himself. The family and friends support is essential in these moments, the patient tries cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, as well as various relaxation techniques, which have positive results for the patient attitude towards the disease. He admits, to complete staging, to follow the recommendations of the oncologist, perform proton emission tomography, which detects the presence of two lesions on the right lung. In January 2018, the surgical intervention is done by straight thoracotomy, atypical upper lobe resection and inferior lobectomy is performed. The histopathological and immunohistochemical results describe the presence of the third primary adenocarcinoma neoplasia. The initial emotional reaction is one of anger, denial, followed by demoralization, easy crying, sadness. The patient is examined by the psychiatrist, thus receiving the diagnosis of a severe depressive episode without psychotic symptoms. He follows an anxiolytic, antidepressant, sedative treatment but continues also the cognitive-behavioral therapy. The patient shows good compliance with psychopharmacological treatment and accepts adjuvant chemotherapy courses, which are well tolerated. Throughout the antineoplastic therapy, there was a close collaboration between the psychiatrist and the oncologist, to avoid drug interactions that could have led to interruption of the treatment. Under the oncology supervision, the patient receives another bad news, in September 2018, the fourth neoplastic localization, the prostatic adenocarcinoma pT2bN0M0, is discovered. In this case, in the presence of the combination of synchronous and methacrone tumors, the patient's psyche is deeply affected, continuing the psychopharmacological treatment. Conclusions: Psychiatric disorders are common among oncological patients, and they may suffer serious impairments in quality of life and treatment compliance, psycho-oncological collaboration being indispensable for the success of antineoplastic treatment.

To date, there is a wide range of research in Asia, America and Europe on the “first wave” of the COVID-19 pandemic. These studies prove that the main negative factors affecting the mental and somatic health of people include measures of social distancing. In most countries of the world, in order to reduce the burden on the health system, quarantine was introduced. The decrease in social contacts of people due to forced self-isolation caused some psychological problems such as loneliness, stress, fear, apathy. Also, the issue of professional burnout among medical personnel working with COVID-infected patients in conditions of extreme stress and the threat of infection is relevant.

"The Covid-19 pandemic, which originally spread in China in late 2019 and then affected the entire world including Israel, has thrown into the battle numerous medical teams, including physicians, nurses and other paraedical teams, both in hospitals and in the community. The medical personnel embarked on a variety of new tasks and challenges, which required them to manifest extraordinary strength. Healthcare providers and caregivers are one of the vital resources in each and every country. Their health and safety are important and crucial parameters not only for the continuous and safe care of patients, but also for controlling the outbreak of epidemics. Working in the medical field is known to bear implications for the mental health of healthcare providers and anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress are not a rare occurrence (S. Liu et al., 2020). Therefore, there is a need to consider the well-being of medical staff and to provide support where needed."

The pandemic has posed many challenges for the academic continuity of clinical training. The social responsibility of universities and the professionalism of physicians inspired residents on taking the leadership in the front line of COVID-19. Their direct involvement in patient care required the establishment of protocols to offer mentoring and support services for self-care and mental health strategies to prevent burnout. The objective of this study was to describe the design and implementation of a comprehensive strategy to transform the Multicentric Program of postgraduate medical education in northern Mexico to continue academic and clinical training activities amid the pandemic. The participants in this study include six training centers which represent 290 physicians in 17 medical specialties programs. The results of the designed strategy focus on three specific activities: 1) offering formal curricular elements through online platforms and mobile devices, 2) adaptative clinical training for the residents participating directly in SARS-Cov2 patient care, and 3) specific training on COVID-19 for all participants on patient safety protocols and use of protective equipment. All 17 programs achieved academic continuity by the use of digital platforms. The protection and safety of the educational community were privileged with the purpose of training by providing residents specific safety training on COVID-19, personal protection equipment, periodical PCR testing and by the vaccination strategy. The responsibility and responsiveness of educational institutions to address the challenges to continue the clinical training during the health crisis will significantly affect the educational results and preparedness of the next generation of health professionals. The commitment of universities should be beyond academic continuity or sharing content online, it should address as well self-care and wellbeing strategies that could provide graduates with the skills that are essential to thrive in the current pandemic.

Introduction: Fractures of the proximal femur are becoming more common. Through the data, this medical problem became a humanitarian, economic and social has imposed the first evidence-based review in our clinic. It is necessary to find out if there is a causal relationship between postural instability, hip fractures and cognitiv impairment. Methods: Clinical data were recorded, removing any information about personal identity. Consecutive patients aged over 65 years were included in the study. They were admitted during the period 01.01.2021-31.12.2021 and had primary fractures of the proximal femur caused by low energy trauma produced by falling from the same level. Results: 360 cases with a mean age of 78.73 years and having a proximal femoral fracture were analyzed. The prevalence of cognitive impairment was 27.22%, significantly undifferentiated by the type of fracture or age group. The relatively small age of the batch of 72-100000 indicates the existance of a socio-economic problem besides the high medical problems raised by a major fracture occurring in the context of comorbidity of 86.36%. Conclusions: The existence of proximal femur fractures in elderly people with certain cognitive involution creates personal dramas and socio-medical problems that require complex studies.

Scope: Burnout syndrome evaluation in Medical Oncology and Radiotherapy personnel. Method and material: This study has involved 50 persons employee in Medical Oncology and Radiotherapy Department, from all categories: 11 superiors personal (medical doctors, physicists, psychologist), 31 nurses, and 8 auxiliary personnel (stretcher-bearer). The following questionnaires were used: professional exhaustion level questionnaire (with 25 items), questionnaire for attitude and adaptation in stressed and difficulties situations, BRIEF COPE and SES scale. Results: After professional exhaustion level questionnaire for superior personnel, emotional exhaustion prevalence, followed by reduced personal achievement and an accentuated increasing of affecting grade after first year of activity, with a pick around 10 years of activity were revealed. For nurses, share of depersonalization is relative homogenous, in moderate - low limits. The results revealed that 56% of personnel from this study have risk for burnout syndrome developing, without any prevention methods and 12% has already burnout syndrome. Conclusions: In general, this syndrome is under-evaluated and under-diagnosed, and its incidence can be diminishing by using the techniques of stress resistance, psychological counseling, cresting a friendly and tolerant professional climate.

Scope: identification of burnout syndrome at the mentioned medical personnel and implementation of some measures to reduce its effects. The study had been prospective, performed in the period between February and April 2019 on a sample of 180 subjects comprising AIC (Anesthesia & Intensive Care) physicians, nurse anesthetists, nurses, and healthcare assistants from ICU and from the surgical unit within Emergency Clinical Hospital of Galati. MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) survey, validated in Romanian, was self-administered to collect the data. 141 subjects responded out of 180, representing 78.33%. Out of these, a number of 99 subjects present burnout syndrome, respectively a percentage of 70.21%. As reported to the three components of the survey, 73.76% of the subjects present emotional exhaustion at medium and high levels, 46.81% present depersonalization and 62.42% present personal accomplishments’ reduction. According to the professional categories, the highest stress level is registered at the ICU healthcare assistants with 100% burnout, followed by AIC physicians with 80%, nurses and healthcare assistants from the Surgical Unit 64.45%, ICU nurses 61.29%, the “lowest” level being 55.56% for the nurses from Anesthesia Department. It must be noted the severe burnout level according to the profession: as per the emotional exhaustion level, AIC physicians are affected in a percentage of 33.33%, ICU nurses 19.5%, nurse anesthetists 16.67%, nurses from the Surgical Unit 16.36% and ICU healthcare assistants 13.64%. In conclusion, this study shows that the most affected categories are the ICU healthcare assistants and AIC physicians, the physicians having the greatest level of emotional exhaustion, and the healthcare assistants the greatest level of personal accomplishment’s reduction.

The article is an incursion in the history of the doctor – patient relationship, which experienced an interesting evolution from the moment when medicine has gained the status of science and most of all because of the technical progress from the last century. In this context, the technicization of medicine, the medicalization and over-medicalization of individual and social life, as well as the elusion of the basic principles of the doctor – patient relationship, have a negative impact on this relation. Is there any way, in the contemporary society, to regain what it was the nobleness of the profession and its divine and human devotion? A possible answer might be found reconsidering what over the years has given social value to the medical act. Because only here can be once more found the necessary binder for harmonizing human devotement and professional responsibility.

Full textAbstract:
S.I. Konstorum is a founder of Russian clinical psychotherapy. Clinical classical psychotherapy is a direction in psychotherapy that meets the same natural science principles as the clinical medicine of Hippocrates. Konstorum designed and described in his monograph “The Experience of practical psychotherapy” the detailed nuanced methods applied to heal different mental derangements (schizophrenia, hysteria, psychastenia, hyppohondric and obcessive disorders and so on). He develops the doctrine of “emotional contact” with the patient suffering from schizophrenia from the practice point of view. Konstorum introduces the notion of “grand psychotherapy”, which houses both “activating psychotherapy” and Cronfeld’s “psychagogics”, which are destinated to empower personal assets of the patient. Konstorum proved the possibility of psychotherapeutic influence on the pathogenetic mechanisms of schizophrenia, and not just on "secondary layers". Using the methods of “graded activation” Konstorum aimed to “emotional restitution” of the patient suffering from schizophrenia and to recovery of the severe mental patient to life. S. I. Konstorum used music therapy in his medical practice as a method of activating emotional animation, not describing it. Konstorum сooperates with the family of the mental patient in an active way, went into his/ her facts of life, assisted to the employment of the patient, and it can be reffered to as to the ancestor of the modern welfare work in psychiatry, which is aimed to improve patient’s “quality of life”. С.И. Консторум – основоположник отечественной клинической психотерапии. Клиническая классическая психотерапия – это направление в психотерапии, которое отвечает тем же естественно-научным принципам, что и клиническая медицина Гиппократа. Консторум разработал и описал в своей монографии «Опыт практической психотерапии» подробные дифференцированные лечебные приемы при разнообразных душевных расстройствах (шизофрении, истерии, психастении, ипохондрических и навязчивых расстройствах и др.). Он с практической точки зрения развивает учение об «эмоциональном контакте» с больным шизофренией. Вводит понятие «большая психотерапия», которое вмещает в себя и «активирующую психотерапию Консторума» и психагогику по А. Кронфельду, направленные на мобилизацию личностных ресурсов пациента. Консторум доказал возможность психотерапевтического воздействия на патогенетические механизмы шизофрении, а не только на «вторичные наслоения». Применяя метод «ступенчатого» активирования, Консторум добивался «эмоциональной реституции» больного шизофренией и восстановления его в жизни. Консторум применял в своей практике, как способ активирования, эмоционального оживления музыкотерапию, не описывая этого. Консторум энергично взаимодействовал с семьей тяжелобольного, входил в обстоятельства его жизни, помогал в трудоустройстве, что является прообразом современной социальной работы в психиатрии, направленной на повышение «качества жизни» душевнобольного человека.

ICD-10 (The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders. Clinical description and diagnostic guidelines) Introduction. Cotard syndrome is a neuropsychiatric pathology that is uncommon in medical practice but has a significant impact on public awareness of the importance of mental health. This mental disorder is also known as negation delirium, living dead syndrome, nihilistic delirium, or walking corpse syndrome. Objectives. A clinical case of a patient diagnosed with dementia due to late-onset Alzheimer's disease is presented; dementia also includes symptoms of Cotard's syndrome. Over time, the transmission of knowledge and data about Cotard Syndrome, despite its very low frequency, has become a pathology that intrigues and inspires curiosity among individuals. Consciousness of the existence of this delirious illness and the accurate definition of the symptoms of a dual diagnosis are required in a number of psychiatric pathologies. Method. This document was created using the "Elisabeta Doamna" psychiatry hospital Database from Galati, Romania, where patient data was acquired and admitted to the Psychiatry Clinic Section II. In addition, a variety of bibliographical references and diagnostic criteria were utilized, including the ICD-10 (the Classification of Mental and Behavioral Disorders, Clinical Description, and Diagnostic Guidelines), the DSM-5 (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), and the psychometric tests: the MMSE (the Mini Mental Status Test) and the GAFS (the Global Functioning Assessment Scale). Results and Conclusions Despite having no psychiatric history, the patient arrived at the psychiatric hospital after experiencing psychiatric symptoms caused by both Alzheimer's disease and Cotard's syndrome, symptoms that were ignored and gradually deteriorated, resulting in full-blown delirium, rapid dementia degradation, and a not-very-favorable outlook.

Full textAbstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the oldest fields of computer science used in building structures that look like human beings in terms of thinking, learning, solving problems, and decision making (Jovanovic et al., 2021). AI technologies and techniques have been in application in various aspects to aid in solving problems and performing tasks more reliably, efficiently, and effectively than what would happen without their use. These technologies have also been reshaping the health sector's field, particularly digital tools and medical robotics (Dantas & Nogaroli, 2021). The new reality has been feasible since there has been exponential growth in the patient health data collected globally. The different technological approaches are revolutionizing medical sciences into dataintensive sciences (Dantas & Nogaroli, 2021). Notably, with digitizing medical records supported the increasing cloud storage, the health sector created a vast and potentially immeasurable volume of biomedical data necessary for implementing robotics and AI. Despite the notable use of AI in healthcare sectors such as dermatology and radiology, its use in psychological healthcare has neem models. Considering the increased mortality and morbidity levels among patients with psychiatric illnesses and the debilitating shortage of psychological healthcare workers, there is a vital requirement for AI and robotics to help in identifying high-risk persons and providing measures that avert and treat mental disorders (Lee et al., 2021). This discussion is focused on understanding how AI and robotics could be employed in improving mental health in the human community. The continued success of this technology in other healthcare fields demonstrates that it could also be used in redefining mental sicknesses objectively, identifying them at a prodromal phase, personalizing the treatments, and empowering patients in their care programs.
