Analysis Of A Therapeutic Response: The Pleasure Of The Pain

“The average of the three blocks revealed the intended pain (M 5 3.62, SD 5 0.99) was experienced as more painful than unintended pain (M 5 3.00, SD 5 0.78), t(41) 5 2.21, p 5 .03, prep 5 .91” (Gray and Wegner, 2008). This study represents how the idea of pain can change depending on the way that person was harmed. Essentially, the intentional pain sensation we feel has shown that it tends to sting more than if it were unintentional

abuse or suspected abuse of vulnerable individuals is mandated to be reported in most states

No-one deserves to be abused, be that physically, emotionally or sexually and the same rules apply that no child or young person should be subjected to neglect. It is every child’s right to live without fear of harm or abuse.

Abuse is behaviour towards a person which deliberately or unintentionally causes harm to them. It is a violation of an individual’s human and civil rights and in the worst cases can result in death.

Abuse is any form of mistreatment by any other person or even persons that will violate an individual 's basic human and civil rights. The abuse can vary, from treating someone with disrespect in a way that significantly affects the person 's quality of life, to causing actual physical or mental suffering, either over a short term or a long term of time, clearly the longer it goes on the worse the

* Emotional/psychological abuse: threats of harm/abandonment, over controlling, harassment, intimidation & withdrawal from support networks/services

If an individual tells me they are being abused I will stop what I was doing and listen carefully to them. All conversations should be treated with confidence and information only passed on to those who need to know. Even if the individual speaks in the strictest of confidence, I will still have to inform my line manager and write down everything that was discussed. I will not agree with the individual that I will not tell anyone else. I will tell the individual that I will only tell someone who can do something about it. If the abuse is physical, no attempt should be made to clean anything such as clothes or the individual. The individual should be dissuaded to wash. With financial abuse, evidence could be paperwork such as bank statements so these should not be thrown away. I could only remove anything that could be evidence if I suspect the abuser

If a person alleges they are being abused the first thing I would do is listen, allow them to talk

Emotional and Verbal Abuse is no better it’s a non-physical behaviors like threats, insults embarrassing you in public, stalking you, and monitoring you.

Those who are in an authoritative position over someone and in a position of care for example, family members, friends or professional health workers (such as a carer, staff member in a residential or nursing home or hospital), can put vulnerable people at risk of abuse. Because of the

The purpose of the study is to assess the immediate responsiveness of conditioned pain modulation (CPM; formerly known as diffuse noxious inhibition control or DNIC) as an outcome variable and its association with neck pain and global rating of change (GROC) in neck function among chronic neck pain sufferers between the 1st to 5th years from the onset of condition. Chronic neck pain is largely non-specific in nature and requires a biopsychosocial understanding of risk factors to mitigate their poor outcome. Practice guidelines highlight the importance of classifying these patients, which includes a biopsychosocial perspective for effective intervention (Cote et al 2016). Recent evidence also points to the success of personalized pain management that is anchored on specific neurophysiologic mechanism underpinning the pain experience of each individual (Nir and Yartniksy 2015). There is emerging evidence that simultaneously evaluating this neurophysiologic mechanism, along with biopsychosocial variables identified risk factors related to the development of chronic neck pain at one year (Shahidi et al 2015). There is extensive literature on pain and function outcome variables relating to biopsychosocial factors. In the past few years, there is growing evidence in the neurophysiologic mechanisms literature that includes CPM/DNIC’s validity and reliability in various chronic pain states. There is a call for CPM/DNIC to be used as outcome variable because it signifies the status

I am reassured by your comment that when you are being flogged properly, that you find yourself riding the endorphin wave by the fifth dozen. As long as I can get through to the start of the endorphin hit, I am confident that I can then take the entire dose like a man. Even with the aid of the endorphins, it is going to be really tough to get through it, but I'm determined to do so to prove that I'm a hard enough man to take it.​ Pride comes before a fall!​ LOL, that is the risk, Andy! Can my determination overpower the mounting agony as the flogging progresses?​ ​The high certainly sounds very alluring and yes, I would be the first to admit, that I really like an endorphin high, LOL.​ I think it's a bit more than 'really like' in

This shows that the abuse has occured before and that they are stuck in the cycle of abuse. In addition

Soothing music can help patients feel less pain when they are in the dentist’s office. Brain scans have shown that when the patient is in pain that listening to music gives the brain more activity. With more activity the brain starts to forget about the pain and focuses on more on the music being played rather than dealing with the pain nerves inside of them. A good song can also make someone have a different perception of pain in the moment they are experiencing the pain. Another study has shown that the music can interfere with pain before it even reaches the signals

The most common reason that people seek medical care is pain, and pain is the leading cause of disability (Peterson & Bredow, 2013, p. 51; National Institute of Health, 2010). Pain is such an important topic in healthcare that the United States congress “identified 2000 to 2010 as the Decade of Pain Control and Research” (Brunner L. S., et al., 2010, p. 231). Unfortunatelly, patients are reporting a small increase in satisfaction with the pain management while in the hospital (Bernhofer, 2011). Pain assessment and treatment can be complex since nurses do not have a tool to quantify it. Pain is considered the fifth vital sign, however, we do not have numbers to guide our interventions. Pain is a subjective expirience that cannot be shared easily. Since nurses spend more time with patients in pain than any other healthcare provider, nurses must have a clear understanding of the concept of pain (Brunner, et al., 2010). Concept analysis’ main objective is to clarify ideas, to enhance critical thinking, and to promote communication (Rodgers & Knafl, 2000). This paper will examine the concept of pain using Wilson’s Steps of Concept Analysis (Rodgers & Knafl, 2000).
