For instance, in Lia’s case, asking these questions, a doctor may have learned that according to her family, soul loss was the cause for her ailment and that the family believed she should receive a little medicine and a little natural remedies. Whether she takes this to mean that the family did not understand western medicine and thus, it would be beneficial to Lia to push for the treatment she deemed right despite the family’s disapproval or he takes this to mean that she should limit the extent and changes in Lia’s medication in order to gain better cooperation from the family, makes a huge difference to Lia’s health. Therefore, it is essential to educate medical professionals to interpret their answers in a way that can improve the quality of the patient’s care. Furthermore, doctors may be resistant to asking these questions thinking that they waste precious time indulging delusions instead of treating the patient. However, as Neil and Peggy came to realize, all the medicine in the world is ineffective if the physician cannot communicate to the patient and get them to comply with the doctor’s request. Consequently, it is also important to inform the medical staff of the reasoning behind these questions and appeal to their innate desire to elicit the best outcome with the least harm, cost and time by educating them in the long term advantageous of being culturally-competent in their medical

Kayla refers to the sporadic pain as attacks. “I would get attacks every week and it would last 2 to 3 days. It got to the point where my teachers at school and in ballet thought I was faking it.  I prayed to God all the time for the pain to go away, but it never happened.” Her illness experience lead to hopeless especially since it made pursuing her passion as a ballerina difficult. Her attacks would leave her bedridden for days in which she lost crucial training time. This hopeless in not understanding the reasons for her pain was also affecting her parents. “My parents took me to nine doctors in a span of 4 years and they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me. I was getting 6 tubes of blood drawn with each visit that came back with no results. I remember that one of doctors even got frustrated with my mom because she was pushing for answers. His response to the situation was to say ‘I don’t know what to tell you lady, your daughter has cancer?’ My parents and I started to lose hope.” Kayla’s illness experience during this phase illustrates chaos narrative because she thought that she would never get better. She had no control over her attacks and had lost hope after seeing nine doctors that could not provide answers. This resulted in emotional battering which refers to the suffering of an individual being rejected socially and by physicians (Whitehead:2006). Kayla’s emotional battering stemmed from being rejected by the doctors who could

When most people think of severe illnesses, examples such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer are considered the most devastating, with high death tolls and great negative impacts on families and individual’s quality of life. The media reinforces the idea of these as conditions that cause the greatest degree of suffering through movies and television shows dealing with the effects of these diseases, as depicted in the compilation “Top 6 Movies about Cancer” (Twin TV, 2016) and including the multiple Oscar-winning “Terms of Endearment” (Brooks, 1983) and others; in addition, media fund raisers and advertising raise awareness of these illnesses. Yet there is one condition that is more prevalent than these three put together, but often overlooked considering the havoc it wreaks on nearly one-sixth of the world’s population: chronic pain (Axiom, 2016).

This week’s PowerPoint and various readings explored human suffering, nursing theory, and the interventions that can be used to ease suffering and provide comfort.

Social support has been observed to be associated with better adaptation to how some patients reacts to chronic disease. The level of satisfaction with social support a patients gets influences the patient’s pain behavior. Higher levels of total pain behavior are exhibited by individuals with significant social support. Patients who are satisfied with the quality of social support they receive tend to be satisfied because they receive positive reinforcement from the social environment when they engage in pain behavior. The blog should serve as a community for people with a particular condition and should be interactive whereby individuals can freely shear their experiences and it would help others to know how to overcome their

Cancer pain is one of the most acute pains and often time is a chronic pain. This kind of pain seriously influences people’s activities of daily living, such as: walking, bathing, eating and also, has a great effect on their lives in general.

(Everdingen, Rijke, Kessels, Schouten, Kleef, & Patijn,2007). Since this pain is experienced in every country, the management for it is adapted fittingly to their culture and ethnic believes, practices, and understandings. Researchers Kwok and colleagues (2014) conducted a study to explore how much the culture and ethnicity can influence the management of cancer pain and the perception of the pain experience.
