Purpose: One of the biggest issues with population health is suicide. It is an example of a self-catastrophe act brought on by a disaster that is frequently not adequately acknowledged by family, acquaintances, or the clinical community. Both sexes as well as all age groups are affected. The literature on Indian "psychological autopsy" (P.A) has not yet been the subject of any reviews. A PA procedure's core component, interview instructions, is similarly in short supply. So, the very purpose f this paper is to suggest or identify a psychological autopsy method that can fit into Indian terrain. Objective: The primary objective of this particular paper is to analyze various journal publications which deal with psychological autopsy and various novel findings from different suicide cases. Especially in India, the rate of psychological autopsy or equivocal death analysis is very low and society is not very clear about the basic use, concepts, and basic procedures of the psychological autopsy. So in this scenario, providing some basic understanding of psychological autopsy is one of the main objectives of this paper. Design/Methodology/Approach: From the beginning until June 2022, electronic searches of the pertinent topic were made using the database systems of PubMed, PsycINFO, Academia, Researchgate, and Google Scholar to find pertinent English or any other languages that had been translated into English language-reviewed articles from India as well as international writings that provided information on best practice elements in PA. Detailed checks were made to ensure that the provided summaries were legitimate. Following the retrieval of important data utilizing such a pre-configured prospectus, a semi-structured discussion outline was produced. The findings of investigations conducted both domestically and abroad on the subject matter have been carefully as well as scientifically compiled. Every scientific journal article finding received a rigorous, systematic, and scientific examination in order to increase the scientific soundness, reliability, as well as accuracy of this document. We gathered the opinions of several knowledgeable professionals in order to boost the originality and dependability of this article. Findings/Result: In order to describe the PA method, several genuine publications, including clinical studies, as well as several clinical reviews/expert comment writings were discovered in India. To evaluate threat elements related to suicidal behavior, the majority of research conducted in India focuses on suicide PA (SPA). The documented proportions of mental illness among suicide-direct descendants varied widely, and potentially distressing circumstances were the other important threat component for suicidal thoughts in the Indian context. The optimum time to tackle PA is presumably between five and a half years following the event when facts may be methodically gathered from selected respondents and certain other resources utilizing a narrative interviewing style, coupled with psychometric evaluations. Originality and Value: The components of physical autopsy analytical methods and psychological autopsy analytical methods were combined in a creative and comprehensive effort. It is hypothesized that a more accurate and scientific way of identifying a particular suicide case can be achieved by combining the two different clinical system dimensions. For reliable results, physicians should combine psychological autopsy data with information from physical autopsies and forensic chemical tests. Paper Type: Clinical analysis paper
Purpose: By reviewing the available literature this paper made a solid foundation to the current scenario of old age homes in geriatric care as a social necessity and the satisfaction of the inmates is a factor which measures the administrative efficiency of the old age homes. Administrative inefficiency and inadequacy of governance may contribute to poor treatment and poor treatment of members in old age homes. Medical care provided to the inmates in the old age homes is a major factor which contributes to the satisfaction level of the inmates along with several other factors. This study was taken place to examine the level of satisfaction of the inmates on the infrastructural factors such as atmosphere, facilities, environment, and behavior of staff toward the elderly inmates. Objective: The study tries to examine the administrative efficiency of old age homes for the elderly and the inmate’s level of satisfaction. Design/Methodology/Approach: The codes are taken from the literature and used in the review of literature. This research was explanatory research that was conducted through an exploratory approach. On the internet's platform, desktop research was carried out. Almost 100 research articles were reviewed in depth and studied to identify the research gap. Findings/Result: The review of the articles indicates elderly are quite satisfied with the efficiency of old age homes and they are happy to be there in the old age homes other than being isolated at home and also, they are comfortable with their embers in the caretaking homes. In this study it can be found that the level of satisfaction of old age home inmates is different from each other as there are different types of paid and non-paid old age homes. Originality/Value: This review presents key findings from studies that show the level of satisfaction of the inmates in the old age home. This article was unique in its way of being a review article and compiling a satisfactory report of elderly inmates of old age home in the past 15 years. In all these studies the researcher can find that the efficiency and satisfaction of the old age home are different from each other. Paper Type: It was a review-based study which is also known as an integrative review where many articles from the past 15 years were selected from different search engines such as Google scholar, Research gate, and others.
Purpose: The present study examined the role of specific strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that are either underused or overused negatively in the life of OCD people affecting their relationships. Design/Methodology/Approach: To locate the sources for our review, which encompassed the period from January 2001 to May 2023, we used Google Scholar, Researchgate, and PubMed. A secondary search was carried out by looking up the references of the 60 papers that were found suitable for further investigation. In addition, qualitative interviews with 7individuals who had suspected ROCD based on theoretical and purposeful sampling were carried out in the years 2022 to 2023. The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), and part-1 were the instruments utilized in this work. The descriptive analysis of the qualitative issues was followed by a discussion. Finding: Innovative studies have tackled the difficulties caused by the anxiety-exhibiting internal hidden aspects of OCD. The unpleasant compulsions of OCD's obsessive thoughts that damage relationships with anxiety are addressed, as are common beliefs and misunderstandings about how to manage them. Originality/Value: Most things are incredibly well organized, planned, and thought out. But how does it impact a person's quality of life, health, and happiness given the psychological aspects of emotional stability and self-worth? A broken relationship might seriously uproot a person's life. The researcher has made an effort to comprehend OCD through this study to grasp better how it interferes with the lives of many OCD sufferers, gain a better understanding of their circumstances, and learn how to rid oneself of OCD and its accompanying worry, anxieties, and fears. Paper Type: Case study-based analysis.
Purpose: India is witnessing a phenomenon called population aging that is not only altering the shape of the population pyramid but also bringing regarding new needs, demands for new and increased resources and new opportunities as well. In India, family is still the major caregiver for the elderly. The conventional joint family arrangement is giving way to the nuclear family systems as people become more mobile. The social life of the elderly is undergoing changes. The changing and demanding requirements of the elderly are not taken care properly in the traditional old age care centres and homes. While the Western World is advanced with institutionalized support systems for the elderly population, India lacks adequate institutionalized support system and policy support mechanism. In this context traditional system of geriatric care and upcoming Community based geriatric care is reviewed systematically in this paper. The basis of secondary data the concept of community-based geriatric care in India and psychological capital, flourishing and hope among older persons in the community-based geriatric care is analysed. Design: The codes are taken from the literature and used in the review of literature. This paper analyses the notion of community-based geriatric care in India, as well as psychological capital, flourishing, and hope among older people in community-based geriatric care, using secondary data. Desktop research was conducted using the internet platform. A total of 80 research articles were examined in depth and methodically to identify the research gap. Findings: The factors, for instance, Community based geriatric care, psychological capital, flouring among old age people, and the geriatric care system in India are reviewed and analysed. The various theories are examined to comprehend psychological capital and flourishing.
