The article is based on the experiences of the European services that provide assistance for the victims of criminality. It describes characteristics of the emotional reactions and recovery process of both the victim and his/her surrounding. Some factors of risk are explored that make certain categories of people especially vulnerable after the criminal incident. A crime victim may have certain difficulties in dealing with the unpleasant experience in cases when he/she is hurt on purpose, intentionally by another person. As a result of that many victims lose the sense of interior control over the things that happen to them, lose self-respect, faith in other people and the community. Therefore, the task of the whole community is to actively contribute to the process of victim's recovery and restitution of self-confidence as well as the confidence in other people and institutions that provide protection and aid.

High Relapse Rate

 Relapse is the resumption of substance after a period of abstinence. It is frustrating but frequent part of recovery process. Several substance including opiates, cocaine and alcohol have particularly has high relapse rate with majority of client re­lapsing within 1 year following treatment. The first 90 days after treatment are very vulnerable time. Hence, the objective of the study is to assess the contributing factors to relapse of drug addiction since the aftercare services, the psycho-social aspect of the treatment has been ignored and high relapse is prevalent among the treated clients. A descriptive cross-sec­tional study was carried out among clients attending three rehabilitation centres of Dharan using lottery method of simple random sampling among 72 respondents using structured questionnaires from 20th September to 4th October, 2015. Findings of the study showed that majority (63.9%) of the respondents had started taking drugs again due to lack of self confidence. In addition to this another contributing factor to relapse was peer pressure (50%) followed by inability to give old habits (44.4%), easy accessibility of drugs (30.6%). The finding also indicated that there was significant relationship (p value = 0.054) between peer pressure and employment status. Lack of self-confidence, peer pressure, easy accessibility of drugs, lack of acceptance in society and family, adjustment problems had increased the chance of relapse after treatment. So, the treatment centres of Dharan should develop program that incorporate the overall development and treatment of client to prevent from relapse of drug addiction.

Achieving and maintaining a high level of performance is a goal desired by athletes and their entire training team, regardless of the chosen sport branch. Sports performance involves daily training both physically and psychologically. Decreased performance in athletes can be manifested by: lack of concentration, eating and sleep disorders, increased fatigue, anxiety, muscle tension, etc. [7, p. 247]. Relaxation techniques have been used in the sports field mainly to improve performance, manage anxiety and enhance the recovery process after training and competitions [23, p. 406]. Among the psychological factors important for achieving performance, we can find: motivation (internal and external), interest, emotional control, self-confidence, concentration, etc.

Psychological Recovery

ObjectivesThe 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake had an enormous negative impact on survivors’ health. Many survivors experienced psychological distress and their long-term psychological recovery process remains unclear. Our objective was thus to explore this long-term psychological recovery process.DesignQualitative study.SettingFrom January to December 2015, face-to-face interviews were conducted in Kobe, Japan.Participants20 affected survivors (55% female; ages ranged from 7 to 60 at the time of the disaster)—10 volunteer storytellers, six first responders (firefighters/public health nurses) and four post-traumatic stress disorder patients.Outcome measuresWe asked participants about their experiences and psychological distress relating to the earthquake and what facilitated or hindered their psychological recovery. We analysed interview data using constructivist grounded theory.ResultsParticipants experienced diverse emotional reactions immediately after the disaster and often hyperfocused on what they should do now. This hyperfocused state led to both mental and physical health problems several months after the disaster. Months, and sometimes years, after the disaster, guilt and earthquake narratives (ie, expressing thoughts and feelings about the earthquake) played key roles in survivors’ psychological recovery: guilt suppressed their earthquake narrative; conversely, the narrative alleviated feelings of distress about the earthquake. In time, participants reconsidered their earthquake experiences both alone and through social interaction. This alleviated their emotional reactions; however, participants still experienced attenuated emotional reactions, and some hid their feelings of distress even 20 years postdisaster. Interpersonal relationships modified this psychological process both positively and negatively.ConclusionsFuture psychosocial support plans for disaster survivors may need to (1) include both mental and physical care in the transition from the acute phase to the recovery phase; (2) facilitate supportive interpersonal relationships for survivors during the mid-term recovery phase and (3) provide long-term psychological support to the most traumatised survivors, even if they appear to be functioning normally.

AbstractClinical simulation allows discussions about improving the quality on the patient’s care. This method have effectiveness on what concerns to satisfaction, self-confidence and student motivation. However, during the assessment, the students have emotional reactions that have tended to be overlooked. In view of this, this article seeks to identify and describe the relationship of the emotions observed by facial expressions and assess their degree of satisfaction and self-confidence by carrying out simulated practices among the nursing students. The analysis based on the scales showed high satisfaction and self-confidence levels, and it was found that the predominant basic emotion was anger, which is caused by other correlated emotions like tension and stress. This divergence between the identified emotions opens up space for further investigations about the level of motivation and the stimulus tolearning that these emotions can provide, and the extent to which they can lead to satisfaction and self-confidence.

Background: Historically, non-career-ending traumatic rugby injury (TRI) has been viewed from a predominantly biological perspective. However, dimensional perspectives, such as the biopsychosocial model, have highlighted the need to incorporate psychosocial understandings of TRI into treatment plans. Aim: To describe the lived experiences of a cohort of traumatically injured South African Super Rugby players in order to add to the body of literature on the subject of TRI experience. Methods: The employment of a qualitative, descriptive phenomenological method was used to achieve the research outcome. Discussion: Common descriptive themes indicated that TRI seems to exist within three stages: the initial, emotional and subsequent reactions to the traumatic injury. Sub-themes described within each stage included attempts at remaining positive and appraising the severity of the injury during onset, fear responses and concomitant feelings of loss related to foregone career opportunities during the emotional reactions stage, the employment of coping mechanisms, and relying on specific support structures during subsequent reactions. Two novel experiences revealed within this study and not reported in the international literature included the injured players’ reliance on compartmentalisation and positive religious belief structures as coping strategies. All themes were reduced to descriptive phenomenological essences that describe a lifeworld or biopsychosocial experience of TRI. Conclusion: Themes drawn from this study can be applied in the future design and implementation of expanded studies and psychological interventions aimed at assisting traumatically injured rugby players during their recovery process. The identified themes affirm aspects from the international literature while highlighting some uniquely South African outcomes.

Recovery Of Consciousness

Psychoemotional and cognitive impairments are an integral part of the recovery of consciousness of patients with severe brain lesions. The adequacy and timeliness of psychо-correcting methods in the process of restoring higher mental functions play an important role. The paper presents the results of rehabilitation treatment of 220 patients with post-comatose long-term impairment of consciousness as a result of traumatic brain injury at the stages of reintegration of consciousness, of which - 138 at the stage of confusion, 72 - at the stage dismnesic syndrome. Neuropsychiatric rehabilitation was carried out using the following techniques: cognitive rehabilitation, cognitive-behavioral therapy (psychological rehabilitation with psychotherapeutic techniques); neuro-sensory and neurodynamic correction (psychostimulation); psychopharmacotherapy. As a result of neuropsychiatric rehabilitation, all patients showed positive dynamics of consciousness of varying severity, and in 46 of them, consciousness regained completely, and only 14 patients stopped at the stage of dysmnesic syndrome, but at the same time became as socially integrated as possible. When analyzing the effectiveness of the methods, it was shown that in the process of neurorehabilitation the neuropsychiatric correction should have an integrated approach, and the methods cover the influence on the patient’s recovery process from the reintegration of basic reflexes to the correction of hemispheric interaction, kinesthetic praxis and cognitive cognitive sphere. At each of the stages of restoration of consciousness, it is important to use adequate psychopharmacocorrection depending on the clinical manifestations and dynamics of psycho emotional reactions. Thus, as a result of the study, the importance of an integrated approach to psychoneurological correction at all stages of the neurorehabilitation process and the use of adequate psycho-pharmacotherapy at each of the stages of recovery of consciousness, depending on the clinical manifestations, major syndromes and the dynamics of psychoemotional reactions, was confirmed. The dependence of the speed and quality of the recovery of consciousness on the peculiarities of mental processes has been revealed.

Beliefs And Attitudes

The purpose of self-esteem is to feel and imagine that people nurtured in their mind over time about their self. In simple words, self-esteem is self-assessment; this perception and evaluation can be positive or negative and pleasant or unpleasant. Children with high self esteem, usually feel good about themselves and better able to resolve their conflicts with other children and are resistant to deal with problems. One of the most important human traits to achieve objectives is self-esteem. The term self-esteem means “reverence for self”. The “self” pertains to the values, beliefs, and attitudes that we hold about ourselves. Having a strong will and self-confidence, decision-making power and originality, creativity, sanity and mental health is directly related to self-esteem and sense of self-worth. It also refers to an individual’s sense of his or her value or worth, or the extent to which a person values, approves of, appreciates, prizes, or likes him or herself. During childhood, if individual’s feelings are respected, thoughts valued and abilities recognized then self-esteem strengthens. When feelings are trampled upon, thoughts belittled and ability criticized then the individual’s self-esteem remains at a low point of development and is therefore weak. During the course of time, an individual faces many life situations. Depending upon the success or failure and one's reaction to every significant situation in life, self–esteem grows stronger or gets considerably weakened Self-esteem is described as the evaluation that one makes about oneself, based on one's self-worth. Increases and decreases in self-esteem generally bring strong emotional reactions. Self-esteem and academic performance are interrelated factors. This study tries to bring the connectivity between academic performance and the self-esteem. The main aim of the study is to know the level of self-esteem of the students with low academic performance. The objectives of this study are to investigate the relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement, to understand the Socio-Economic background, to assess the level of self-esteem, and to know what could be the reason for low academic performance in spite of having high self-esteem. The research design used for the study would be descriptive in nature

On December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean earthquake, which had its epicenter off the northern coast of Sumatra, was followed by a series of huge tsunami waves, which caused considerable damage to many coastal communities in Asia. In Indonesia, Aceh and North Sumatra suffered the greatest. Many residents rapidly lost their families, homes, fishing boats, farmland, well-being, and self-confidence. Numerous donors provided considerable support, and many victims gradually recovered. Through these tremendous efforts, the victims have gradually regained their well-being; in the over fifteen years since the tsunami, reconstruction has resulted in sustainable community development. This study aimed to determine how the victims have rebuilt their livelihoods and how communities have supported them. The fieldwork comprised interviews with key members of affected local communities in Aceh Besar District in 2006–2018. Some respondents were selected for interview and focus group discussions. This study examines the recovery process, how victims developed social relations, and how they were encouraged and developed self-confidence and independence. The results showed that for the victims, the most important factors in the reconstruction were (1) a firm relationship with family and relatives and (2) a strong sense of community. This study found that women’s activities were supported by Panglima Laot Lhok (fishing communities’ leaders), Toke Bangku (financial traders), and a fish processing association. Those actors were important for the economic, financial, and social institutions in the community. Mutual support in the community and indigenous institutions played roles in strengthening social resilience. The income-generating activities in the mutual system empowered victims—especially women—and their families. The victims developed a feeling of self-confidence and independence that has gradually increased. Through community-based activities, the victims improved their livelihoods.

Introductions. Lymphedema is an interstitial accumulation of protein-rich lymph fluid, due to the post-therapeutic alteration of lymphatic circulation in the upper limb. The appearance of lymphedema is favoured by a number of risk factors. All of these factors ultimately lead to a process of tissue fibrosis. Materials and methods. This study was carried out in an outpatient regimen, for a period of 12 months, in the kinetotherapy room, using massage elements for lymphatic drainage and kinetotherapy technique. The study group included 15 patients aged 27-65 years.Results and discutions. Patients evaluated the quality of life after surgery based on the physical and mental symptoms, which is why anxiety, pain reduction through massage and kinetotherapy give patients self-confidence as well as confidence in the recovery process. Conclusions. This complex programme that includes lymphatic drainage massage methods and kinetotherapy techniques should be applied individually, progressively, under the control of the kinetotherapist. Key words: lymphedema, kinetotherapy technique, lymphatic drainage massage,
