Summary : This book is designed to help religious leaders, professional counselors, concerned family members, and individuals offer viable, appropriate levels of care to someone with an addiction problem, one who refuses to accept assisted-living conditions or comply with medical advice. Using tools in this book can increase awareness of the issue and acceptance of recovery. Learn how to avoid compassion fatigue while using healthy personal boundaries. Because these tools are likely used in an emotional setting, the least emotionally involved helper or leader is the best person for attempting an organized intervention. Concerned others may be able to find serenity after going through this process. This book teaches a mini-intervention or one-on-one short meeting as a setup for a full-blown maxi-intervention later, if necessary. If the maxi-intervention is not successful at first, next steps and consequences are taught. These steps are in keeping with Jesus instructions on how to approach someone with an issue. This book compiles thirty-nine years of studying and experience of achieving compliance with the best of care for someone refusing help with a serious issue. In using these steps and illustrations, 90 percent of the full maxi-interventions result in beginning the first stages of treatment or recovery.

Summary : "Background and Problem Statement. Compassion fatigue and burnout are commonly experienced by healthcare professionals due to working in stressful situations while utilizing their sense of self in the provision of care (Baguley et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2018). Compassion fatigue and burnout are attributed to high turnover rates seen in the nursing field, estimated to reach 400,000 by 2025 (Brown et al., 2018). In addition to the financial burden incurred by healthcare systems, burnout can have detrimental health consequences for the nurses (Ameli et al., 2020; Lee et al., 2019; Pospos et al., 2018). Although most employers provide access to employee assistance programs and promote self-care, accessible and effective stress reduction strategies are rarely used in real-time. Addressing these issues through the implementation of strategies and supportive programs rooted in mindfulness has the potential to decrease burnout and improve retention (Brown et al., 2018). The need to address these issues inspires the following question: Does implementation of a mindfulness-based intervention in the workplace reduce the development of compassion fatigue and burnout among nurses and other healthcare professionals? Purpose and Aims. The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate a mindfulness-based intervention for high-risk providers in a long-term healthcare facility. The aims of this project were: (a) to assess a baseline level of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue, which includes burnout and secondary traumatic stress, among the healthcare staff members; (b) to implement an effective and accessible mindfulness-based intervention; and (c) reduce the negative implications related to compassion fatigue and burnout. Implications for Practice. This project provided findings regarding the current levels of burnout and compassion fatigue experienced by patient-facing staff members and provided effective mindfulness-based strategies that can be utilized to actively mitigate stress and promote resiliency in the workplace. These findings should prompt future allocation of resources toward the reduction of burnout and compassion fatigue at the organizational level"--Abstract.

Summary : This volume strives to give oncologists and other medical practitioners a thorough picture of the oncology patient. It’s designed to show that psychological needs of the patient are an important aspect that should be considered for optimizing the effects of cancer treatment, no less than genetic, immunological, physiological and other medical features that are often considered as necessary components of personalized medicine. Using evidence-based information, the book describes the different ways cancer touches upon a person’s life, including emotional, physical, and social changes, important decisions, and support structure. It also details the phases every cancer patient encounters along the way, from getting tested and waiting for the diagnosis, to treatments, survival, and confronting one’s mortality. Psycho-oncology for the Clinician will serve to contribute to the further scientific development of psycho-oncology, expandits use as a treatment modality, strengthen its status as an essential component of cancer care, and promote the acceptance of psycho-oncology as the new evidence-based constituent of personalized medicine in oncology.

Summary : The sense of safety is an essential foundation for human flourishing and well-being. It is a basic human need, grounded in the evolutionary history of the human species as a part of the ecosphere. However, social, political, and health-related global challenges have eroded deeply not only safety but our sense of safety. Sense of safety is an individual experience, but it is deeply rooted in the social, communal, and societal frames. Thus, in research, we need to look at the sense of safety, understanding that the wider societal situation strongly consists of individual and grass-roots level experiences. All people, notwithstanding their race or age or any other variable, need to feel safe. Sense of safety is a feeling of relative security, a comprehensive yet subjective psychological experience. It requires ongoing appraisal, closely associated with a person’s awareness and perception. That is, sense of safety is related to safety but never the same, and it is always about emotions. It is deeply social – never just about an individual – and should be studied as such. Sense of safety is pivotal for individuals, communities, in societies. Interdisciplinary research on sense of safety is scarce, and often academically too shallow (e.g., not defining sense of safety, as in, e.g., Zacharia et al. 2021; Murakami et al. 2017), nor even differentiating between safety and sense of safety, e.g., in Zou & Yu 2022). Research and mainstream media focus mostly on the large-scale picture of safety, e.g., statistics, trends in numbers, and political reporting. But what are the individual-level experiences of sense of safety and sense of security today? How are they culturally bound, and to what extent more universal?
