COPING, STRESS MANAGEMENT

AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE

The COPING is not a "psychological technique" among many others.
The term coping refers to all reactions active and conscious
or strategies used by a person to reduce the negative impact of stressors on well-being and physical in order to maintain and, where possible, improve its quality life.

The STRESS is a word used frequently but in a very narrow and different from its actual definition.
stress, this is NOT the anxiety or anguish born of a life too fast and difficult but

"the body's response to stressors and psychological and physiological
that emotions that require adaptation "


Lu recently, comment about an article on COPING WITH STRESS in PD :

" Although it is uninformative in terms of what to do , This article has the merit of pointing out how a more holistic approach parkinsonian patients is indispensable and suggest that cognitive-behavioral approach could help identify patients whose care may be difficult because of difficulties in coping with the consequences of the disease.

course remains to be proven, as is the case in other serious conditions such as heart disease or cancer, that learning strategies for "coping" more appropriate can improve the experience of Illness in everyday life. "


Currently, personal assistance for individuals and their carers will benefit from any organization at a national level.

psychological assistance for MP, considered and implemented specifically for this purpose is now only at an embryonic stage in some high-level university hospital services; elsewhere, it is a .... ante-conceptional level.

Regarding aid to coping, it is therefore not a technique to enhance already existing and established for all people, No! It's all about creating it.

Otherwise, coping come down to a work not suited to work .... made acceptance in an otherwise unacceptable and would, therefore, doomed to failure.

For this, patients and their families must first be convinced of the existence of very real problems they face and to express their legitimate right to a possible improvement in their quality of life.

Support resources usually available, the institutionalized psychotherapy, patient education and support groups, local or Internet, then appear to what they are, only some elements of personal assistance to make.

A truly effective coping nationally can be designed only when all the problems, such as sanitary office who do not belong to the people, will be on track to resolution.

Without this, any further study on coping in Parkinson's disease is an illusion, time and energy wasted, an estimate out scientific reality because the quality of life can exist only when the environment s 'it ready.
