Abstract

Schizophrenia is a chronic disease that has destructive psychopathological effects causing profound impairments in thoughts, feelings and behaviors in individuals. Along with the physiological problems caused by disease, the patients with schizophrenia also faces prejudice, stigmatization and alienation problems caused by misinformation and beliefs in society regarding the disease. All these problems reduce the positive expectations patients with schizophrenia for the future and cause widespread despair among these patients. Hope is considered to be one of the most important determinants of healing that increases the effectiveness of the treatment, enabling patients with schizophrenia to fight against the disease. Nurses are the most prominent health care professionals, which are close the patients in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation stages of the schizophrenia disease. Therefore, interventions used for increasing hope should be known by nurses well. The aim of this review is to guide nurses to perform interventions to determine and increase the levels of hope of the patients with schizophrenia as well as raising awareness in this regard.

Şizofreni Hastalığında Umut Kavramı / The Concept of Hope in Schizophrenia Disease

Abstract

Şizofreni; düşünce, duygu ve davranışlarda önemli bozulmalara yol açan,
bireyi derinden yıkıcı psikopatolojik etkileri olan kronik bir hastalıktır.
Şizofreni hastaları hastalığın yol açtığı fizyolojik sorunlarla beraber,
hastalığa yönelik toplumdaki yanlış bilgi ve inanışların doğurduğu önyargı,
damgalanma ve dışlanma sorunlarıyla da karşı karşıyadır. Tüm bu sorunlar, şizofreni
hastalarının geleceğe yönelik pozitif beklenti hislerini azaltarak,
umutsuzluğun hastalar arasında yaygın olarak görülmesine neden olmaktadır.
Umut, şizofreni hastalarının hastalıkla mücadele etmelerini sağlayan, tedavinin
etkinliğini artıran iyileşmenin en önemli belirleyicilerinden birisi olarak
kabul edilmektedir. Şizofreni hastalığının tanı, tedavi ve rehabilitasyon
aşamalarında en fazla hastaların yanlarında bulunan sağlık profesyoneli hemşirelerdir.
Bu nedenle, umudun artırılmasına yönelik girişimlerin hemşireler tarafından iyi
bilinmesi gerekmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı; şizofreni hastalarının umut düzeylerinin
belirlenmesi ve artırmaya yönelik girişimlerde bulunulması konusunda
hemşirelere yol göstermek ve bu konuda farkındalık oluşturmaktır.
