Naturalistic Setting

People in distress often turn to friends for emotional support. Ironically, although receiving emotional support contributes to emotional and physical health, providing emotional support may be distressing as a result of emotional contagion. Women have been found to be more susceptible than men to emotional contagion in certain contexts, but no studies examined the context of providing support to a troubled friend in a naturalistic setting. Our exploratory study aimed to test for gender differences in emotional contagion as a result of offering emotional support to a troubled friend. We studied naturalistic informal supportive interactions among 48 pairs of friends. Following an 8-min interaction with a troubled friend, (a) women were more likely than men to experience a deterioration in their positive emotional state and (b) changes in women’s emotional state were positively correlated with changes in their troubled friends’ emotional state, whereas changes in male support providers’ emotional state were unrelated to changes in their troubled friends’ emotional state. These results suggest that women are more susceptible than men to emotional contagion following brief interactions with a troubled friend, thereby highlighting the importance of conducting additional research into the costs and benefits of exchanging emotional support among friends.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better insight into the reasons that make Qatar University students reluctant to attend professors’ office hours. Factor analysis was first conducted to reveal the components underlying this reluctance; Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was then employed to analyze the effects of gender, GPA, credit hours completed, year of enrollment, and college/major on those factors. Results indicated that professor's competence and demeanor, course characteristics, students' social skills, attitudes/motivation, time conflict/communication style, students' apprehension as well as their physical/emotional state were all related to their reluctance to attend office hours. Moreover the predictor variables of gender, GPA, and credit hours completed had significant effects on several of those seven reluctance factors.

Abstract Objectives: to identify the main complaints and problems presented by women in the puerperium during nursing consultations and create a care flow chart. Methods: descriptive, cross-sectional exploratory study with quantitative treatment of data conducted in a private hospital in Brazil, with a sample of 114 women. Results: of the puerperal women evaluated, 57.9% were primiparous and 66.7% reported not having received guidance about the puerperal period. Cesarean sections occurred in 89.5% of the sample, and 80.7% of the women presented difficulties inherent to the care given to the newborn or self-care. All mothers were breastfeeding and 42.1% of them reported difficulties in this process. Among breast complications, 30.7% corresponded to fissures. In view of the needs observed in the nursing consultation, women received guidelines from the nurses, and were referred for specialized evaluation when pertinent. Conclusions: it was observed that problems and complaints presented by women in the puerperium were related with care to the newborn, breastfeeding, emotional state and family support. Health professionals who give puerperal consultations should consider the sociocultural environment in which the puerperal woman is inserted in order to link their beliefs with science.

Energy Information

Flower therapy is a gift of nature to the mankind. Flowers have the power to heal the body at physical, mental and spiritual level. Humans of all ages are drawn to flowers like a moth to a flame. These flowers in vibrant colors touch our spirits. They add colors to the life, bringing abundant joy and happiness. Flowers carry specific healing energy information which when given for a particular ailment will align the vibrations within the organism bringing balance in an individual and harmony of mind, body and spirit. With each dose taken the energy signature of the flower will assist in healing the body. This new method of therapy was discovered by Edward Bach, a doctor who discovered that flowers and plants have the power to soothe and stir the soul. It was a completely different healing method which he decided to name it as Bach Flower Therapy. And so, it became a complementary and alternative system of healing the sick individual. Flower therapy is the administration of essence that is obtained from flower by boiling or by exposing them to the sunshine. These are then administered orally to calm or enhance the particular emotional state. It is simple, safe, easily administered, without any side effects, and given in a standard dose.

Abstract: Neuropsychological testing is regarded as being possibly strenuous for patients, however, empirical data are missing. The aim of our exploratory study was an initial investigation of the emotional state before and after the administration of a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery in patients with major depression. Twenty-four patients with major depression and 17 healthy subjects were investigated using a German multidimensional questionnaire (“Eigenschaftswörterliste,” EWL-K). The emotional state of the subjects improved during testing with a more pronounced improvement in the patients group. The results might encourage clinicians not to avoid comprehensive neuropsychological test batteries in depressive patients when indicated. Further research is needed to confirm and further clarify these results.
