unhelpful thoughts or beliefs about the phobia (Elkins, 2017). An effective treatment for this weather phobia would be systematic desensitization. The focus of systematic desensitization is to reduce maladaptive anxiety by inducing the client into a relaxed state and having the client imagine successively more anxiety provoking situations. There are three steps in the systematic desensitization process: relaxation training, development of For example, during relaxation training, the client could be instructed
Systematic desensitization, also known as graduated exposure therapy which was developed by Wolpe, is one of the most effective method for reducing phobias, fears, and other anxiety disorders. This therapy uses counter-conditioning, a reverse classical conditioning technique, to unlearn or reduce the intensity of a conditioned response by establishing a new relaxation response to the conditioned stimulus gradually. Due to the fact that relaxation is incompatible with anxiety and fear, it then follows
Effectiveness of Systematic Desensitization on Various Phobias Human behavior is complex and difficult to predict and control. Many theories of behavior modification exist today with an abundance of research to support claims, but which one is most effective? Past research provides support for the effectiveness of systematic desensitization as well as flooding and fading when used to treat phobias. (Ost, 1978, p. 379, Rudestam & Bedrosian, 1977, p. 23). Systematic desensitization is in essence Guthrie’s
Pavlov was one of his main influences in Wolpe’s research because of his development of classical This aims to remove the fear response of a phobia and substitute a relaxation response to the conditional stimulus. There are three steps to Systematic Desensitization. The first step is the relaxation techniques. Wolpe would teach his patients deep muscle, breathing exercises, mediation, deep breathing, releasing muscle tension and other relaxation techniques. This is the most important steps because
Level 1 Evidence NHMRC – Systematic Review This systematic review conducted by Takeda A, Taylor SJC, Taylor RS, Khan F, Krum H, Underwood M, (2012) sourced twenty-five trials, and the overall number of people of the collective trials included was 5,942. Interventions were classified and assessed using the following headings.- Takeda, Taylor, Khan, Krum, & Underwood. (2012) states ‘(1) case management interventions (intense monitoring of patients following discharge often involving telephone follow
Although written in late nineteenth century, the lessons and motifs in The Death of Ivan Ilych, by Leo Tolstoy, remain appropriate to our ever-changing world1. This novella chronicled the life of Ivan Ilych, delving deep into his psyche. The impending death of Ivan served as the main theme of the novella. Death is a consequence of human existence; for life to exist, so too must death. In particular, doctors and those within the health-care field deal with death regularly. Ivan interacted with
Before this class my initial stance on the human predicament was the abuse of power by exploiting others to gain more power, but based on our course readings, and my own reflection, I have learned that this is not entirely the case. Now I believe that the basic human predicament is that we are insecure with our being as individuals because of social standards that have taught us it is right to exploit others for our own benefit. To resolve this issue, we need to take time to reflect, ask questions
toxicological studies. However, toxicology as a field has often not produced efficient and timely evidence for decision making in public health. In response to this, the U.S. National Research Council called for the adoption of evidence-based methods and systematic
Nursing is based on what has been proven to work; care should never be provided because it has been done that way in the past. Providing evidence based care will “ensure that people consistently receive the best care possible, based on the application of the most up-to-date research, rather than mere tradition” (Upton, Upton, & Scurlock-Evans, 2014, p. 46). Evidence based practice validates nursing decisions, and it is important to be aware of current evidence to provide the best possible care. Evidence
When it comes to patient care every decision made by a physician, nurse, or supporting medical staff should always have reliable evidence based research. This allows the caregivers to make the best patient care decisions. Evidence based research means using dependable fact based research to make sound decisions with the end results of good patient care. Therefore, it is very important for health care providers, supports staff and health care leaders to understand what evidence based research means
Evidence Based Practice Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) can be defined in two ways. Sackett (1996) explains about evidence based medicine (EBM) and that by using the best clinical expertise alongside the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research then the patient would receive the best treatment available. Although one issue with this approach is that the only point that the patient is involved is when the decision has already been reached. The author feels that on occasions the
III. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY A qualitative approach was adopted involving two principal data collection methods; a thorough and systematic review literature and in-depth interviews on critical pedagogical approaches, technologies supporting those pedagogies and management of learning resources with e-learning providers. Reasons for adopting detailed interviews are as follows: First, interviews are appropriate to examine the extent to which the critical factors identified from literature and empirical
This paper will showcase the major components of clinical decision support, as well at take a look what is analysis of evidence-based medicine and describe how computerized systems can be used to support evidence-based medicine practice. Clinic decision-making provides clinicians, staff, patients or other individuals with knowledge and person-specific information, intelligently filtered or presented at appropriate times, to enhance health and health care (Richardson & Ash 2011). Major components
Boland et al (2014) pointed out that the systematic reviews are considered as the best way to synthesize the finding of several studies investigating the same questions. The authors further confirmed that the Dignity Therapy (DT) is an effective and beneficial psychotherapy to relieve psychological
Introduction This article review is based on the critical analysis of the articles based on the role of practice based evidence and evidence based practice in treatment of psychological disorders. Since the conception of applied psychology, psychologists have deep concerns regarding evidence based practice for patient care. It has been argued in the articles that evidence based practice technique has been proved to be more effective in treatment of mental ailments as compared to practice based evidence

practices is insufficient for project success and thus conducted systematic research (SR) to determine if something else is the cause of project success. The current paper will present a critical analysis of the 2011 article, “Now, let’s make it really complex (complicated)” (Geraldi et al.). The analysis will review the authors’ justification for the study and the transparency and rigor demonstrated in the five common systematic research phases described by Gough, Oliver, and Thomas (2012, p.
Improving Evidence-based Medicine in Dietetics: A Non-Traditional Approach According to Sackett, (1996) evidence–based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about patient care. Straus, Richardson, Glasziou, & Haynes (2005, p. 1) described evidence-based practice (EBP) as “the integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and unique patient values and circumstances.” According to Straus et al, (2005, p.3) those practicing
Radiography in Zambia has experienced a wealth of changes involving learning methods, curriculum, professional status and public expectations. Consequently, there has been a gradual transition of radiography from a mainly knowledge-based profession to an evidence-based discipline and the concept of clinical effectiveness has become ever more important in health care delivery in recent years. Solwezi general hospital is a 2nd level public hospital serving a local population of over 200,000 people
Research Statement Vidya Pingale Current healthcare environment calls for evidence-based practice. During my twenty years of career as a pediatric occupational therapist, I have realized the importance of evidence for the acceptance of intervention by professional communities. I believe the strong evidence is not only necessary for ethical occupational therapy practice, but also for the profession’s identity. Although evidence on occupational therapy interventions is growing, the gap continues
