There is a shift in emphasis in nursing care of the mentally retarded child in the community. Firstly, the child must be identified and then his condition is evaluated, usually by a multi-disciplinary team. A decision must then be made whether the child will be cared for in the community. The nurse assists the parent or guardian in training for independence which includes self-care, use of toilet, personal hygiene, and dressing. Training in various perceptual and motor skills are also included in the nursing care plan. The nurse makes follow-up visits to evaluate progress and adapts the nursing care plan as necessary. She also has an important role in encouraging and guiding the parents. Nursing the mentally retarded child in the community requires specialised knowledge — and a lot of love.

Institutional Ethics

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to offer practical researcher self-care strategies to prepare for and manage the emotions involved in doing organizational ethnographic research. Institutional ethics policies or research training programs may not provide guidance, yet emotions are an integral part of research, particularly for ethnographers immersed in the field or those working with sensitive topics or vulnerable or marginalized people. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on ethnographic fieldwork over nine months with a voluntary organization in the UK, Yarl’s Wood Befrienders, to explore the experiences and activities of volunteer visitors who offer emotional support to women detained indefinitely in an immigration removal center. The author is a “complete member researcher,” or “at-home ethnographer,” a volunteer visitor and a former detainee. Findings The author describes the emotional impact the research personally had on her and shares learning from overcoming “compassion fatigue.” Self-care strategies based on the literature are recommended, such as a researcher self-assessment, identification of the emotional risks of the research, and self-care plan formulated during project planning. Suggested resources and activities to support the well-being of researchers are explored. Practical implications This paper provides practical resources for researchers to prepare for and cope with emotional and mental health risks throughout the research process. It builds awareness of safeguarding researchers and supporting them with handling emotional disruptions. Without adequate support, they may be psychologically harmed and lose the potential to critically engage with emotions as data. Originality/value The literature on emotions in doing research rarely discusses self-care strategies. This paper offers an actionable plan for researchers to instil emotional and mental well-being into the research design to navigate emotional challenges in the field and build resilience.

Forms Of Violence

Victims of violence and interpreters share one trait: they are susceptible to trauma-related sequelae. Direct victims may develop PTSD while interpreters may develop vicarious trauma. This chapter sets out the legal basis for language access in healthcare, noting the important quality dimension added by the ACA. It then reviews the statistics for various forms of violence and presents some of its enormous societal costs. It also highlights the similarity of some of the symptoms observed in persons suffering from vicarious trauma, PTSD and burnout, but notes the difference in the genesis of these three conditions. This is followed by an introduction to trauma-informed approaches in delivering victim services. Finally, it lays the basis for identifying VT symptoms, mentions two online instruments that might be useful in assessing the likelihood of vicarious trauma, and reviews types of self-care techniques for creating a personal self-care plan.

Researchers have published an increasing number of reports about undergraduate music students suffering from depression, anxiety, and stress as well as of in-service teachers’ experiences with burnout. Whether an undergraduate music student, a teacher, or a teacher educator, those in our profession need to increase awareness of the prevalence of stress and mental health concerns in music education. Along with presenting information to increase mental health literacy, this article discusses the use of self-care as a form of stress reduction among current and future music educators.

The importance of self-care for the well-being and professional functioning of mental health service providers has been increasingly recognized. Emphasizing a proactive, prevention-oriented approach, this chapter offers practical ideas and guidance on self-care for mental health professionals in private practice. The demands and rewards of private practice, as well as the challenges of making and sustaining a commitment to self-care, are discussed. An approach to developing a self-care plan is presented. This approach uses an organizing framework that views self-awareness, work-life balance, and connections as critical goals of self-care. Each of these areas is discussed in detail, with examples of ways to integrate self-care into daily life and questions to consider in assessing individual self-care needs, identifying resources, and planning for self-care. The importance of viewing self-care as a process and paying attention to evolving self-care needs and opportunities is emphasized.

Nursing Diagnoses

To clinically validate the defining characteristics of nursing diagnoses related to self-care deficits in feeding, bathing, toileting, and dressing in patients with stroke. A diagnostic accuracy study was conducted with a sample of 135 patients with stroke. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated based on the latent class analysis method using the random effects model. The prevalence of diagnoses was 23.5% for Bathing self-care deficit, 18.5% for Dressing self-care deficit, 13.3% for Toileting self-care deficit, and 7.5% for Feeding self-care deficit. Fourteen defining characteristics were sensitive, and 17 were specific. Hemorrhagic stroke and note 4 on the Rankin scale was associated with self-care deficits. Of the 37 defining characteristics of the four diagnoses studied, 19 were clinically validated according to the latent class analysis model. These most accurate clinical indicators contribute to the development of the care plan for patients with stroke.
