Empirical Evaluation
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The capacity to heal involves the interwoven aspects of body, mind and spirit; to remove any part of this equation is to significantly impair the potential for complete restoration of health. By the same token, those who surround the patient in a care-giving role (nurses, family, friends) play an integral part in this holistic approach and must be taken into consideration when measuring levels of distress and risk factors involved with maintaining that holistic outlook. Understanding the distress level and risk factors of patients, family and caregivers serves as a barometer of how successfully patients are able to tap into all three components of holistic healing: mind, body and spirit. This study sought to determine to what extent distress levels and risk factors were exacerbated or mitigated in each of the groups (patient, family, caregiver) with weekly sessions of psychological therapy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
