ÖZETDiz osteoartirt (OA), diz eklem kıkırdağının bozulmasıyla ağrı, tutukluk ve fiziksel fonksiyonda azalma gibi semptomlara yol açan yeni kemik formasyonları ile karakterize sık görülen kronik romatizmal bir hastalıktır. Diz osteoartrit tedavi ve bakımda amaç; ağrı ve tutukluğun giderilerek eklem fonksiyonlarının korunması ve iyileştirilmesi, disabilitenin önlenmesi veya düzeltilmesi, kas gücünün korunması, geliştirilmesi ve tedavi komplikasyonlarının önlenmesidir. Diz OA yönetimi için farmakolojik ve non-farmokolojik tedaviler birlikte uygulanması gerekmektedir. Nonfarmakolojik yaklaşımlar arasında hemşirelerin bağımsız fonksiyonlarını kullanabileceği aromaterapi masajı yer almaktadır. Aromaterapi masajı; klasik masaj ve aromaterapinin olumlu etkilerini birleştiren bir tekniktir. Aromaterapi masajının asıl hedefi hastalığı tedavi etmek değil, hastalık nedeniyle oluşan semptomların kontrolünün sağlanmasıdır. Aromaterapi masajı diz osteoartritte, yaşanan ağrının giderilmesi, tutukluğun önlenmesi, fiziksel fonksiyonda artışın sağlanması, kas gerginliğin giderilmesini sağlayarak bireyin yaşam kalitesini yükseltilmesine katkı sağlayacaktır. Hemşirelerin hasta bakımlarını geliştirmek ve hemşireliği güçlendirmek için kullanabildikleri en önemli uygulamalar arasında aromaterapi masajı bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle hemşireler bağımsız uygulamaları arasında aromaterapi masajına yer verilmesi gerekmektedir.AnAhtAr Kelimeler: Diz Osteoartriti; Aromaterapi; Masaj; Ağrı; Fonksiyonel Durum Alternative application for knee osteoarthritis: Aromatherapy massageAbsTrAcT Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a frequently seen chronic rheumatic disease characterized by new bone formations leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness and reduced physical function due to the deformed knee cartilage. The main goal of the treatment and care of OA is to maintain and improve joint functions by eliminating pain and stiffness, to prevent or improve disability, to maintain and develop muscle strength, and to prevent any treatment complications. Simultaneous application of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments is required for the knee OA treatment. Aromatherapy massage is one of the non-pharmacological approaches which can be used as an independent nursing intervention. It is a technique which combines the positive effects of classical massage and aromatherapy. The main goal of aromatherapy is not to cure the disease, but to manage the disease-related symptoms. In OA, aromatherapy massage is used to relief pain, prevent stiffness, increase physical function, remove muscle tension and, thereby, improving the quality of life of the patient. Aromatherapy massage is among the major nursing interventions to improve the patient care skills of the nurses and nursing care. Therefore, aromatherapy massage should be included in independent nursing applications interventions.

“…Así, vemos que cuando se proporciona información y formación a los cuidadores sobre el proceso de la enfermedad, los recursos y servicios disponibles se obtienen efectos positivos tales como la reducción de la ansiedad, la mejora del conocimiento de la autoeficacia y la confianza en el desempeño de las funciones de cuidados (39)(40)(41)(42).…”

Influencia de las EnfermerasGestoras de Casos hospitalarias sobre la preparación de las cuidadoras para asumir el cuidado domiciliario Nursing Case Management of caregiver emotional heatlh at hospital setting and it´s influence on caregivers decission to take care at homePresentación preeliminar de resultados: Un resumen de este trabajo fue galardonado con el premio a la mejor comunicación en las I Jornadas Regionales de Enfermeras Gestoras de Casos celebradas en Aracena (Huelva) en octubre de 2008. RESUMENObjetivos: a) Determinar la influencia de las intervenciones de las Enfermas Gestoras de Casos (EGC) sobre el cansancio en el rol de cuidador y en la decisión de éstos de asumir la atención del paciente en su domicilio. b) Cuantificar el ahorro de estancias y de costes. Metodología: Estudio observacional restrospectivo sobre pacientes con cansancio en el rol del cuidador gestionados por las EGC entre abril y septiembre de 2008. Se analiza la efectividad de las intervenciones midiendo la puntuación al ingreso y al alta del CRE Salud Emocional del Cuidador Principal. El ahorro de estancias y costes se ha calculado mediante la fórmula: total de pacientes con ingreso/alta precoz conseguida x estancia media x coste diario. Resultados: Sesenta y cuatro pacientes presentaban el diagnóstico. En todos los casos se activó el criterio de salud emocional. Las intervenciones fueron efectivas mejorando el CRE de 2,41 al ingreso a 3,81 al alta (p < 0,0001). Treinta y uno de estos pacientes que tenían previsto el traslado al hospital media estancia han sido dados de alta a domicilio tras su intervención. Existen diferencias en la puntuación al alta del CRE (> ó < 4) en este grupo comparado con el que continúa curso normal (p > 0,006). La intervención de las EGC ha ahorrado un total de 798 días de estancia tasados en 360.270 euros en 6 meses. Conclusiones: Las intervenciones de las EGC mejoran la salud emocional de las cuidadoras, sitúa a la cuidadora en disposición de SUMMARY Aims: a) To determine the influence of the interventions of

“…The program she developed, which is now used internationally, consists of a combination of many techniques that were first designed by other healers, including Mentgen. Since 1986, research supports the use of HT for accelerating wound healing, relieving pain, increasing relaxation, reducing anxiety and stress, preventing illness, easing the dying process, promoting spiritual development, and supporting medical procedures and treatment (Baldwin, 2002;Cook, Guerrerio, & Slater, 2004;Darbonne, 1997;Margolis, 2004;McAdams, 1996;Post-White et al, 2003;Protzman, 2002;Rexilius, Mundt, Megel, & Agrawal, 2002;Seskevich, Crater, Lane, & Krucof, 2004;Wardell & Weymouth, 2004;Wheeler-Robins, 1999). A review of research on the use of relaxation techniques to reduce stress for in-vitro fertilization clients supports the suggestion of improved conception rates (Eugster & Vingerhoets, 1999).…”

Fertility and conception have been a concern through the ages. This case report documents the use of healing touch (HT), a noninvasive energy-field therapy, with the intent to facilitate conception and a healthy pregnancy. After 18 months of being unsuccessful in conceiving, a 40-year-old female sought HT to enhance the possibility of conceiving naturally. She had normal menstrual cycles, and both she and her husband had normal fertility tests. The client conceived after several months of HT therapy, which also included stimulating reflexology points on the ankle designed to affect the uterus and ovaries and encouraging positive affirmations. HT therapy continued throughout a trouble-free pregnancy and during birth.The client gave birth to a healthy baby boy without the use of pain-relieving medications. Perinatal educators and other health-care practitioners who work with women having difficulty conceiving or experiencing difficult pregnancies may wish to consider recommending the use of HT and/or other complementary therapies with the goal of fostering more positive reproductive outcomes.
