Disturbed Sleep Pattern - Insomnia related to Fear and Anxiety

Do you often feel bad mood, not calm, and easily distracted after having nightmares or when your sleep disturbed? It has nothing to do with the feeling and can be explained scientifically. A research shows that lack of sleep or sleep disorders affect parts of the brain associated with emotions. This then triggers the emergence of a sense of worry and anxiety.

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley found that when people lack of sleep or often feel disturbed while sleeping, the activity in the amygdala and insular cortex region of the brain will increase. The increased activity was then trigger anxiety and worry naturally.

"It is difficult to find if lack of sleep is a result of anxiety, or lack of sleep can actually cause the emergence of anxiety. However, this study helped us find a link causal more clearly," said researcher Andrea Goldstein, as reported by the Huffington Post (27/06).

These results were obtained after the researchers observed 18 adults. They were asked to sleep soundly and reduces sleep time. The participants then underwent brain scans and tests of emotion. Researchers found that participants who do not get enough sleep have higher activity in the amygdala compared with participants who get enough sleep.

Meanwhile, previous studies have also demonstrated the opposite relationship. A Finnish study in 2007 showed that anxiety and stress can interfere with sleep quality and make people less sleep. They found that people who had undergone events that create tension and anxiety often experience sleep problems.

Appendectomy - Nursing Care Plan for Preoperative and Postoperative

Definition of Appendicitis Appendicitis is an inflammation that often occurs in the appendix which is a serious case of abdominal surgery are the most common. Appendectomy An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the vermiform appendix. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis. In the absence of surgical facilities, intravenous antibiotics are used to delay or avoid the onset of sepsis; it is now recognized that many cases will resolve when treated perioperatively. In some cases the appendicitis resolves completely; more often, an inflammatory mass forms around the appendix, causing transruptural flotation. This is a relative contraindication to surgery. Etiology of Appendicitis Appendicitis is a bacterial infection caused by obstruction or blockage due to: Hyperplasia of lymphoid follicles Fecalith presence in the lumen of the appendix Appendix tumor The presence of foreign objects suc

NCP for Hallucinations - Assessment and Nursing Diagnosis

Hallucinations Definition Perception Perception is the process of receiving stimuli until the stimuli are realized and understood by the senses or sensations: the process of receiving stimuli. So perceptual disorders are human inability to distinguish between stimuli arising from internal sources such as thoughts, feelings, somatic sensations with external impulses and stimuli. Hallucinations Hallucinations are one of the perceptual disorders, where there is a sensory experience in the absence of sensory stimulation (false sensory perception). According to Cook and Fotaine (1987), hallucinations are sensory perceptions of an object, image and thought that often occur in the absence of external stimuli which can include all sensory systems (hearing, seeing, smelling, touching or tasting), while according to Wilson (1983) ), hallucinations are disturbances of absorption/perception of the five senses without any external stimulation that can occur in the sensory system wh

NCP - Nursing Assessment for Burns (Combustion)

Burns are a global public health problem. This is due to the high rate of burn mortality and morbidity, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where more than 95% of the incidence of burns causes death (mortality). However, death is not the only consequence of burns. Many burn patients eventually experience disability (morbidity). This often creates a stigma against community rejection. (Ziaeian, Boback and Gregg C. Fonarow. (2016).) Burns (combustio) are tissue loss caused by contact with heat sources such as water, fire, chemicals, electricity, and radiation. Burns will cause not only skin damage, but also affect the entire body system (Brunner & Suddarth, 2014) Burns are a form of tissue damage and or loss caused by contact with sources that have very high temperatures (eg fire, hot water, chemicals, electricity, and radiation) or very low temperatures. Upon contact with a heat source (or other cause). A chemical reaction takes place that drains energy fro
