“…This should additionally increase the interlocutors’ involvement in a dialogue incorporating shared humor. The idea of shared experience as the crucial process underlying heart rate synchrony in conversational dyads is also corroborated by the psychological processes that are reflected in phasic variations of heart rate such as subtle changes of emotional arousal and motivational states (e.g., Bradley et al, ; Gunther Moor et al, ; Lackner et al, ; Papousek, Aydin, et al, ; Papousek, Weiss, et al, ; Wright & Gendolla, ).…”

“…Transient changes of heart rate index the net effects of fast sympathetic and parasympathetic inputs to the sinus node (Goldberger, 1999) and represent a sensitive, flexible, and rapidly responding system in the context of psychophysiological adaptations. Transient heart rate changes (occurring on the scale of a few heartbeats) go along with subtle changes in ongoing psychological demands and contexts that are linked with rapid, fleeting changes of emotional arousal and motivational states (e.g., Bradley, Codispoti, Cuthbert, & Lang, 2001;Gunther Moor, Crone, & van der Molen, 2010;Lackner et al, 2013;Papousek, Aydin, et al, 2014;Wright & Gendolla, 2012).…”

Impact of humor‐related communication elements in natural dyadic interactions on interpersonal physiological synchrony

Evidence suggests that in dyadic conversations some alignment occurs at the physiological level, but relatively little is known about the conditions that may facilitate physiological synchrony of two interlocutors. In the present interdisciplinary study, the impact of specific linguistic features of ongoing dialogues—the use of humor‐related communication elements—was examined in 24 male dyads who were meeting for the first time. Heart rate synchrony was quantified using phase synchronization, which reflects the degree of moment‐to‐moment adjustments that occur between the two persons of a dyad. Comical hypotheticals and verbal amplifiers were identified and quantified using cognitive‐linguistic methods of corpus analysis. Additionally, smiles following these communication elements were identified using the Facial Action Coding System. The data showed that the heart rate time series of the two interlocutors were to some extent synchronized in phase, and that the magnitude of this synchronization exceeded what had to be expected by chance. The strength of heart rate synchrony in a dyad was the higher the more comical hypotheticals were produced, independently from how much the two conversation partners were in sum talking to each other. A similar observation was made for verbal amplifiers, but their effect depended on whether they were perceived (and acknowledged by a smile) as humorous. The findings are in line with the more general notion that physiological synchrony may be enhanced by shared experience and suggest that the use of (reciprocated) humor may speed up the building of rapport among communication partners.

“…The study protocol was controlled in a fully automated way using proven software-tools developed in MATLAB ® (MathWorks Natick, Massachusetts, MA, United States) ( Lackner et al, 2013 , 2014 ). For the present study the cardiovascular data of the four periods (initial resting period, task preparation, word list recall and final resting period) and the change scores (word list recall – initial resting period), (task preparation – initial resting period) were analyzed.…”

History of Preeclampsia Adds to the Deleterious Effect of Chronic Stress on the Cardiac Ability to Flexibly Adapt to Challenge

Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific disorder, presents a major health problem during gestation, but is also associated with increased risk for cardiovascular complications in later life. We aimed to investigate whether chronic stress experience and preeclampsia may have additive adverse effects on the cardiac ability to flexibly adapt to challenge, that is, to mount an appropriately vigorous heart rate response to an acute psychological challenge, or whether they may perhaps have synergistic effects (e.g., mutual augmentation of effects). Blunted cardiac responding to challenge has been linked to poor health outcomes in the longer term. Women previously affected by preeclampsia and women after uncomplicated pregnancies were tested 15–17 weeks post-partum in a standardized stress-reactivity protocol, while cardiovascular variables were simultaneously recorded. Changes in heart rate and blood pressure in response to the stressor were analyzed with regard to the effects of history of preeclampsia and chronic stress experience. Findings indicated blunted cardiac responses in women with higher chronic stress experience (p = 0.020) and, independently from that, in women with a history of preeclampsia (p = 0.018), pointing to an additive nature of the effects of preeclampsia and chronic stress on impaired cardiovascular functioning. Consequently, if both are present, a history of preeclampsia may add to the already deleterious effects of the experience of chronic stress. The additive nature of the effects suggests that stress-reducing interventions, albeit they will not eliminate the heightened cardiovascular risk in patients with a history of preeclampsia, may improve their overall prognosis by avoiding further accumulation of risk.

“…Anksiyete, çocuğu psikolojik olarak etkilediği gibi fizyolojik olarak da olumsuz etkiler. Anksiyete, fizyolojik olarak kortizol gibi stres hormonlarının salgılanmasını arttırarak, bağışıklık sisteminin baskılanmasına, (35,77) ağrının daha şiddetli hissedilmesine, (7,35) solunum (77) ve kalp işlevlerinde değişikliklere (78) neden olur. Çocuğun ağrısını azaltmaya yönelik kullanılan yöntemler aynı zamanda anksiyetesini azaltmada da kullanılabilir.…”

Hastalık ve hastanede yatma çocuk ve ailesi için anksiyeteye neden olan önemli bir deneyimdir. Anksiyete, çocuğun hastalık ve tedavisine yönelik uyum sürecini olumsuz etkiler ve iyileşme hızını yavaşlatarak hastanede yatış süresini uzatabilir. Çocuk servislerinde çalışan hemşireler, çocukta ve ailede hastalıktan/hastaneye yatmaktan kaynaklanan olumsuz duyguları önlemek ya da azaltmak için farklı yöntemler kullanmalıdır. Bu yöntemlerden biri atravmatik bakım yaklaşımıdır. Atravmatik bakımın ilkeleri arasında, fiziksel stresörleri azaltmak ya da en aza indirmek, çocuk-ebeveynin ayrılmasını önlemek ve kontrol duygusunu desteklemek yer alır. Hemşirelik bakımında atravmatik bakım yaklaşımını kullanmak çocuğun hastalık/hastaneye olan uyumunu kolaylaştırır, ağrı veren işlemlerin ve anksiyetenin azaltılmasına katkı sağlar. Aynı zamanda ailenin desteklenmesini, güçlendirilmesini ve gereksinimlerinin karşılanmasını sağlar. Bu kapsamda çocuk servislerinde çalışan hemşirelerin atravmatik yaklaşım hakkında bilgi sahibi olması ve bakımlarında kullanmaları önerilmektedir. Bu derlemede pediatri hemşireliğinde atravmatik bakım yaklaşımının kullanımı ile hastanede yatan çocuğun ağrısını, çocuk ve ailenin anksiyete ve stresini azaltmaya yönelik farmakolojik olmayan uygulamaların etkileri literatür ışığında sunuldu.
