NURSING AND PSYCHOLOGY

Nursing is a profession that is dedicated to the care of the human being, takes into account the different dimensions that surround it, integrating social, physical and psychological. This care focus on persons as human  beings more than the disease they suffering. This care involves the family, the community and the environment. The criteria for providing such care is based on understanding basic human needs of the individual.
Nursing is a dynamic profession that enables compliance with various functions such as administration, teaching and assistance. Each human care is the foundation of the art of nursing. The nursing profession is characterized for belonging to a multidisciplinary health team and therefore requires disciplines such as medicine, psychology, physiotherapy, nutrition, dentistry, among others, to provide quality care of human beings.
According to the above, Psychology is essential for the development of nursing.  Psychology is the study of mental processes, that include individuals' internal cognitive and sociocognitive (which occur in society and involves culture). The field of mental processes includes various cognitive phenomena, such as emotional and discursive, and also includes the structures of reasoning and cultural rationality.
Psychology  has many applications including clinical, this one deals with the investigation of the mental functions of people suffering because of various circumstances, it is research is  based on fundamental principles. The nursing uses the results of these investigations to improve the care of patients using psychology tools to listen to patients during their recovery process.
The deshumanization of the staff of the  hospital, may be partly a result of the relationships  between the patient and the nurse there is an intellectual and emotional barrier that involves a denial of the patient in all aspect of his personality. The nurse, sometimes by fear, others by lack of adequate psychological training, takes refuge in the patient's physical care, avoiding the global interpersonal encounter.
The essence of nursing as a profession, must necessarily take care of the individual  not only because of his suffering  but also for what he is. So far, no health staff has raised awareness about the importance of psychology within the hospital, with this knowledge the quality of care can be enhanced.
In this magazine you will find the differents situations related to infirmary and psychology but they are not so academic.

AWAKENINGS
(MOVIE)





Awakenings is a 1990 American drama film based on Oliver Sacks's 1973 memoir Awakenings. It tells the true story of British neurologistOliver Sacks, fictionalized as American Malcolm Sayer and portrayed by Robin Williams who, in 1969, discovers beneficial effects of the then-new drug L-Dopa. He administered it to catatonic patients who survived the 1917-1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. Leonard Lowe (played by Robert De Niro) and the rest of the patients were awakened after decades of catatonic state and have to deal with a new life in a new time.


ABSTRACT
In 1969, Dr. Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) is a dedicated and caring physician at a local hospital in the New York City borough of The Bronx. After working extensively with the catatonic patients who survived the 1917-1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, Sayer discovers certain stimuli will reach beyond the patients' respective catatonic states; actions such as catching a ball thrown at them, hearing familiar music, and experiencing human touch all have unique effects on particular patients and offer a glimpse into their worlds. Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro) proves elusive in this regard, but Sayer soon discovers that Leonard is able to communicate with him by using a Ouija board.
After attending a lecture at a pub on the subject of the L-Dopa drug and its success with patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease, Sayer believes the drug may offer a breakthrough for his own group of patients. A trial run with Leonard Lowe yields astounding results as Leonard completely "awakens" from his catatonic state; this success inspires Sayer to ask for funding from donors so that all the catatonic patients can receive the L-Dopa medication and experience "awakenings" back to reality.
Meanwhile, Leonard is adjusting to his new life and becomes romantically interested in Paula (Penelope Ann Miller), the daughter of another hospital patient and begins spending time with her when she comes to the hospital to visit her father. Leonard also begins to chafe at the restrictions placed upon him as a patient of the hospital, desiring the freedom to come and go as he pleases and stirs up a bit of a revolt in the process of arguing his case repeatedly to Sayer and the hospital administration. Sayer notices that as Leonard grows more agitated battling administrators and staff about his perceived confinement, a number of facial and body tics are starting to manifest and Leonard has difficulty controlling them.

While Sayer and the hospital staff continue to delight in the success of L-Dopa with this group of patients, they soon find that it is a temporary measure. As the first to "awaken," Leonard is also the first to demonstrate the limited duration of this period of "awakening." Leonard's tics grow more and more prominent and he starts to shuffle more as he walks, and all of the patients are forced to witness what will eventually happen to them. He soon begins to suffer full body spasms and can hardly move. Leonard, however, puts up well with the pain, and asks Sayer to film him, in hopes that he would some day contribute to research that may eventually help others. Leonard acknowledges sadly what is happening to him and has a last lunch with Paula where he tells her he cannot see her anymore. Leonard and Dr. Sayer reconcile their differences, but Leonard returns to his catatonic state soon after. The other patients' fears are similarly realized as each eventually returns to catatonia no matter how much their L-Dopa dosages are increased.
Sayer tells a group of grant donors to the hospital that although the "awakening" did not last, another kind — one of learning to appreciate and live life — took place. The film ends with Sayer standing over the once again-catatonic Leonard behind a Ouija board, with his hands on Leonard's hands which man the planchette. "Let's begin," Sayer says.
