Behavioral Therapy Belief
Belief that changing behavior is key to treating problems like anxiety and depression
Behavioral Therapy
Based on theory that behavior is learned and has consequences. Abnormal behavior results from an attempt to avoid painful feelings. Changing abnormal and maladaptive behavior can occur without the need for insight into the underlying cause of the behavior
Behavioral Therapy Teaches..
PTs ways to decrease anxiety or avoidant behaviors and gives PTs an opportunity to practice techniques

**success w/treating phobias, addictions
Cognitive Reframing
Anxiety can be decreased by changing cognitive distortions. It assists PTs to ID negative thoughts that produce anxiety, examine the cause, and develop supportive ideas that replace negative self-talk.
Priority Restructuring
Assists PTs to ID what should be given priority, such as devoting energy to pleasurable activites
Journal Keeping
Helps PTs write down stressful throughts and has a positive effect on well-being
Assertiveness Training

helps PTs be aware of negative thinking
Types of Behavioral Therapy
Modeling, operant conditioning, systematic desensitization, aversion therapy, (meditation, guided imagery, diaphragmatic breathing, muscle relaxation, biofeedback)
Modeling
Therapist/other serve as role models for PT, who learns improved behavior by imitation
Operant Conditioning
Positive rewards are given for positive behavior (positive reinforcement)

*tokens given to PT for good behavior, can be exchanged by PT for a privlege/item
Systematic Desensitization
Planned, progressive, or graduated exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli in real-life situations, or by imagining events that cause anxiety. During exposure - the anxiety response is suppressed thru use of relaxation techniques
Aversion therapy
A maladaptive behavior is paired with a punishment or unpleasant stimuli to change behavior.

Team may use unpleasant stimuli/bitter taste/mild electric shock as punishment for behaviors such as alcoholism, violence, self-mutilation, and thumb sucking
meditation, guided imagery, diaphragmatic breathing, muscle relaxation, biofeedback

Initial Phase
Purpose and goals of the group are defined
*group leader sets tone of respect, trust, and confidentiality among members
*Members become acquainted w/each other and group leader
*Termination is discussed

Prob-solving skills are promoted to facilitate behavioral changes. Power and control issues may dominate in this phase

*group leader encourages group work toward meeting goals
*members take informal roles in group
Termination Phase

leader summarizes work of group and individual contributions
Maintenance Roles
Members of group who take on this role tend to help maintain the purpose and process of the group.

Emotional issues/themes w/in a family that continue for at least 3 generations, such as pattern of addiction when the family is under stress, dysfunction grief patterns, triangulation patterns, divorce
Areas of functioning in Families (5)
- Communication
-Management
- Boundaries
- Socialization
-Emotional/supportive
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
body's response to an increased demand. The first stage is the initial adaptive response - "fight or flight" mechanism. If stress prolonged - maladaptive responses occur.
Responses to stress and anxiety are affected by (5)
age, gender, culture, life experiences, and lifestyle
Protective factors increasing a person's resilience, or ability to resist effects of stress include:
physical health, strong sense of self, religious/spiritual beliefs, optimism, hobbies and other outside interests, satisfying interpersonal relationships, strong social support systems, humor
Acute Stress (Fight or Flight)
-Apprehension
-Unhappiness/sorrow
-Decreased appetite
- Increased RR, HR, cardiac output, BP
-Increased metab and glucose use
-Depressed Immune system
Prolonged Stress (Maladaptive Response)
-Chronic anxiety/panic attacks
- Depression, chronic pain, sleep disturbances
- Weight gain or loss
- Increased risk for myocardial infarction, stroke
- Poor diabetes control, htn, fatigue, irritability, decreased ability to concentrate
-increased risk for infection
Stress Nursing Care
most involves teaching stress-reduction strategies
Cognitive Reframing
PT is helped to look at irrational cognitions (thoughts) in a more realistic light and to restructure those thoughts in a more positive way
Relaxation Techniques
meditation, guided imagery, breathing exercises
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Alternative somatic treatment for mental health disorders. Delivers an electrical current that produces a grand mal seizure.
How does ECT work?
-- exact mechanism of how works still unknown.
One theory is that it may enhance the effects of neurotransmitter (serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine) in the brain
Indications for ECT
Severe depression
-PTs who are not responsive to pharmacologic treatment
PTs for the risks of other treatments outweight the risks of ECT (first trimester of pregnancy)
-Actively suicidal and for whom there is a need for rapid therapeutic response
Acute Manic Episodes + ECT
ECT used for PTs who have bipolar disorder w/rapid ccling ( 4 or MORE episodes of acute mania w/in1 year) and very destructive behavior. Both of these features tend to respond poorly to lithium therapy. These PTs receive ECT therapy and then regimen of lithium therapy.
Contraindications for ECT
No absolute contraindications for this therapy if it is deemed necessary to save PT's life. Nurse should be aware that some PTs may have medical conditions that place at higher risk if ECT used
-recent MI
-Hx of cerebrovascular accident
-Cerebrovascular malformation
-Intracranial mass lesion
Ect not been found useful for
Developmental disabilities
Chemical dependence
Personality disorders
Situational depression
Typical treatment ECT
3 times a week for total 6 - 12 treatments
Incompetent PT
Guardian must give consent for ECT - some PTs who have been declared incompetent require a court order
Anesthesia + ECT
Some facilities require a separate informed consent for anesthesia
What is done before ECT?
-Hx + physical examination
-neuro exam
-electrocardiogram
- lab tests complete w/ CBC and other tests ordered by facility)
Medications + eCT
Any meds affecting PT's seizure threshhold must be decreased or d/c several days before ECT procedure

MAOIs + lithium should be d/c 2 weeks before ECT procedure
Hypertension + ECT
Severe hypertension should be controlled, since a short period of hypertension occurs immediately after ECT procedure
30 minutes prior to beginning ECT what is administered and why?
an IM injection of atropine sulfate or robinul (Glycopyrrolate) is given to decrease secretions and counteract any vagal stimulation
iv LINE?
Inserted and maintained until full recovery
When?
Administered early in the AM after PT has fasted for 8 - 12 hour
Bite guard?
Given to prevent trauma to oral cavity
Oxygen?
PT mechanically ventilated during procedure and receives 100% oxygen
Anesthesia
Short-acting anesthestic - like methohexital (brevital) via IV bolus
Muscle Relaxant
after anesthesia this is administered
Why is a cuff placed on the leg or arm?
To block the muscle relaxant so that seizure activity can be monitored in the limb distal to the cuff
Electrical Stimulus
Applied for 0.2 - 0.8 seconds, seizure activity monitored, and duration of seizure, (25-60 seconds) is documented
Post Procedure Care
Transferred to recovery area where level of consciousness, cardiac status, VS, and O2 sat monitored
Position of PT in recovery?
On side to facilitate drainage and prevent aspiration
Transfer back to mental health unit when?
PT usually awake and ready to transfer back w.in 30-60 mins after procedure
Memory Loss and Confusion
Short-term memory loss, confusion, and disorientation may occur immediately following the procedure. Memory loss may persist for several weeks.
Nursing actions for memory loss
-pROVIDE FREQUENT ORIENTATION
Provide a safe environment to prevent injurt
-assist PT w/ personal hygiene as needed
How to assist w.memory
Place clock in PT's room
Label PT's room location
explain typically short term
ECG Changes
PTs baseline HR is expected to increase by 25% during the procedure and early recovery
