##mine The Effect Of A Smartphone Delivered CBT Intervention In 46 Children

Acupuncture can be used to treat osteoarthritis. It is based on an idea that there are channels throughout the body called “meridians” and that these allow the transport of an energy known as “Qi.” (NHS. 2012. Acupuncture.) Generally, acupuncture involves the insertion of needles at specific points along the body - these are known as “acupoints.” This insertion is thought to lead to the movement of Qi throughout the body, which causes biomedical changes that result in the “promotion of physical and emotional well-being” through the release of endorphins. (British Acupuncture Council. 2011. Acupuncture and Osteoarthritis.) Inserting needles at specific acupoints to treat osteoarthritis sends a message to the brain that assists in the reduction of “sensitivity to pain and stress.” (British Acupuncture Council. 2011. Acupuncture and Osteoarthritis.) This reduction in pain can allow for a better range of movement, thus function.

* Acupuncture is said to help relieve pain by either diverting or changing the painful sensations that are sent to the brain to then alert you to the pain within the body. (Arthritis Research UK)

Many people will experience many physical factors such as pain and mobility problems, some individuals may feel that it’s best to take orthodox medicines which are the best pain relief or option for them, this includes treatments such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. However, some people might have side effects from medicines, therefore they choose to have alternatives, such as, massage and acupuncture. This means that pain can be taken away without any side

The relationship discovered in the articles written by Denneson, et., al (2011) and Fletcher, et., al (2016) discuss how the Department of Veterans Affair is studying the significance of using complementary alternative medicine to effectively control chronic noncancerous pain versus the continuous use of opioids. Massage therapy was the most preferred and effective method for management of pain. In the article written by Fletcher, et., al (2016), about 60 percent of the outpatient was taking opioids for management of chronic pain.

     How the patients feel they are being treated by the Doctors and nurses  SCD patients feel that many providers don’t believe their reports of pain unless their distress was visible.   Presumptions of drug seeking and addiction were pervasive among healthcare providers …… (Haywood, 2013).     SCD patients are asking the healthcare professionals (HCP) to treat their pain without being judgmental or

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (2016) about 6% of children in the United States suffer from a severe anxiety disorder. Other studies cite figures closer to 10% of children being affected by extreme anxiety disorders (Girling-Butcher & Ronan, 2009). While figures may vary slightly, there is no doubt that a large number of school-aged children grapple with a disorder that can disrupt and damage their functioning in schools and social situations. Chiu et al. (2013) state that anxious children can also suffer from “high rates of school refusal, poor academic performance and impairments in school functioning” (p. 142).

Acupuncture is gaining popularity as numerous claims are being made to its validity and effectiveness. Although many studies and experiments regarding acupuncture have been done, the scientific basis of the principles of this alternative approach still remains unclear (http://www.health.org/pubs/acu-nih.htm).

Parse’s theory of human becoming is one of the influential theory in nursing. It basically helps to guides nurses as they care for the sick to concentrate on the quality of life their patients lived as they go through that difficult time. Parse’s theory of human becoming consisted of three structures, which are, meaning, rhythmicity, and transcendence. Parse’s theory of human becoming described meaning as the experiences and reality that one lived (Nursing theory, 2011). On the other hand, Parse’s theory of human becoming described rhythmicity as “Human Becoming is co-creating rhythmical patterns of relating in mutual process with the universe” (Nursing theory, 2011). While Parse’s theory of human becoming described transcendence as going beyond certain limits that one possesses. This paper will discuss Parse 's theory of Human Becoming as well as another theory contribution to the advancement of knowledge in support or multidisciplinary science or teams.

Massage therapy can help with alleviating muscle tension, diminishing stress, and bringing to mind feelings of calmness, along with helping chronic fatigue syndrome, easing chronic constipation, and enhancing self image. It also manipulates the activity of the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems in the body. Clinical studies have revealed that massage relieves chronic back pain more effectively than other treatments and most times it is more cost effective than other treatments ("University of Maryland Medical Center").

Despite being an alternative medicine instead of consistently considered as the go to treatment by many professionals, acupuncture was found to be invaluable in treating several ailments. The truth is, it is been so successful in creating relief for lower back pain particularly that the NHS now supply it as a treatment, and it is recognized by the NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) - who advocate 10

This section presents the evidence identified through a search and review of literature related to the effectiveness of acupuncture to reduce pain medication use in the patient with chronic pain. The literature contains nine articles, dated between 2000 and 2016 (Sun, Hsieh, Cheng, Hung, Li, Yen, & Huang, 2010; Itoh, Katsumi, Hirota, & Kitakoji, 2007; Weiß, Quante, Xue, Muche, & Reuss-Borst, 2013; Cherkin, Eisenberg, Sherman, Barlow, Kaptchuk, Street, & Deyo, 2001; Yun, Shao, Zhang, He, Xiong, Zhang, & Yan, 2012; Kung, Chen, Chaung, Chou, Tsai, & Hwang, 2001; Giles & Muller, 1999; Muller & Giles, 2005). The studies were implemented in various settings such as the multidisciplinary spinal pain unit of Townsville’s General Hospital, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Department of Chengdu General Military Hospital, inpatient rehabilitation clinic in Germany, and the Department of Neurology at Nantou Hospital with sample sizes ranged from 29 to 282 patients. One common limitation of the studies was the small sample size, which might not be able to represent the whole population. Two studies also recruited volunteers for their studies, which might result in bias since the volunteers might have higher expectations for the result. In addition, the studies were not consistent with the method of sham acupuncture, which might produce some therapeutic effect in the studies. The strength of the studies was randomized controlled trials that might be able to eliminate population

The researchers Running and Turnbeaugh (2011), appraised arrays of research articles that utilized therapeutic touch, massage therapy, and acupuncture to alleviate bone pain, visceral pain, and neuropathic pain in cancer patients. The researcher’s inclusive inference of the literature appraisal championed the utilization of complementary remedies in bestowing symptom aid and lessening pain in cancer patients (Running & Turnbeaugh, 2011). According to Running and Turnbeaugh (2011), these therapies needs to be used as appendage therapies and must not substitute pharmacological

Parse’s Human becoming theory was founded upon the principles and concepts of Rogers’ theory, and is based on nine assumptions and three main principles. The assumptions include:

I chose the Parse Theory of Human becoming because I feel that this theory gives the patient strength, complexity and a strong internal locus. A person is free to choose their own meaning in a situation and interpret the meaning as freely as desired. This theory relates to the professional nursing practice because it allows the nurse to see the patient as a whole; spiritually, biologically, sociologically, and psychologically.(Taylor & Canney, 2011) As nurses, we perform a holistic assessment and provide care to the patient’s idea of health and wellness; a person is more than just the sum of their parts.
