Tämä opinnäytetyö tehtiin osana Seniorinuotta-projektia. Työn tarkoituksena on kuvata Tasapainoisen elämän ohjelman pilottiryhmän teemoja ja toteutumista sekä ryhmään osallistuneiden arkea ja kokemuksia. Tutkimustehtävinä on kuvata: Ryhmään osallistujien arjessa tapahtuneita muutoksia, ohjelman toteutuminen käsiteltyjen teemojen osalta, osallistujien kokemuksia käsitellyistä teemoista sekä osallistujien kokemuksia ohjelmasta.
Opinnäytetyössä käytetään sekä laadullisia että määrällisiä tutkimusmenetelmiä. Tutkimuskysymysten käsittelyä ohjaa kvalitatiivinen tutkimusote, mutta osassa aineiston keruuta ja tulosten käsittelyä käytetään kvantitatiivisia menetelmiä. Tutkimuksen aineisto koottiin Tasapainoisen elämän ohjelmaan osallistuneiden täyttämistä palautelomakkeista, ohjaajien havainnoista, osallistujien loppuhaastatteluista sekä ohjaajan tekemistä loppuarvioinneista. Opinnäytetyötä ohjaa toiminnan tieteen näkökulma.
Opinnäytetyön tulokset antavat viitteitä siitä, että ohjelmaan osallistuneet ovat hyötyneet Tasapainoisen elämän – ohjelmasta. He ovat kokeneet tärkeiksi ja hyödylliseksi käsitellyt teemat, ja heidän arkielämässään tapahtuneet muutokset ovat olleet pääasiassa positiivisia.This Bachelor’s Thesis was done as a part of Seniorinuotta-project.

La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Municipios y ciudades Pasto, Sapuyes, Barbacoas y Barranquilla.
La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Municipios y ciudades Pasto, Sapuyes, Barbacoas y Barranquilla.El presente trabajo contiene una sucesión de actividades basadas en relatos reales de personas que han sufrido directa e indirectamente los flagelos de la guerra y la violencia en nuestro país. Se mencionan diferentes aspectos y se realiza un análisis reflexivo de la situación problema, del entorno y las consecuencias directas que se han manifestado en el comportamiento de los individuos protagonistas de los relatos en mención.
El flagelo de la guerra provoca efectos demoledores en sus víctimas que a su vez afectan a la sociedad, es por ello que la narrativa se convierte en un instrumento vital para identificar los emergentes que surgen y que afectan a la población.
La finalidad es abordar la problemática desde el ámbito psicosocial, por medio del enfoque narrativo logrando identificar los fenómenos sociales relacionados y llegar a comprender el significado que la sociedad y el mismo sujeto le dan a la problemática y a sus secuelas.
De acuerdo a lo anterior se establecen tres tipos de preguntas estratégicas, circulares y reflexivas con las que se busca ahondar en la narración, donde el sujeto es el protagonista y creador de su propia historia de vida. Nuestro rol como psicólogos dentro de la intervención psicosocial es de facilitador de transformaciones abordando las temáticas necesarias para lograr cambios en la resolución de conflictos, fortalecimiento de una cultura de paz, el desarrollo comunitario, etc.The present work contains a succession of activities based on real stories of people who have suffered directly and indirectly the scourges of war and violence in our country. Different aspects are mentioned and a reflexive analysis is made of the problem situation, of the environment and the direct consequences that have manifested in the behavior of the protagonists of the mentioned stories.
The scourge of war causes devastating effects on its victims that in turn affect society, that is why the narrative becomes a vital instrument to identify the emergent that arise and that affects the population.
The purpose is to tackle the problem from the psychosocial level, through the narrative approach, identifying the social phenomena related and getting to understand the meaning that the society and the subject give to the problem and its consequences.
According to the above, three types of strategic, circular and reflexive questions are established, with which we seek to delve into the narrative, where the subject is the protagonist and creator of his own life story. Our role as psychologists within the psychosocial intervention is to facilitate transformations by addressing the issues necessary to achieve changes in the resolution of conflicts, strengthening a culture of peace, community development, etc
Using the emotional functioning in clinical practice to detect psychological distress in patients with advanced thoracic and colorectal cancer
Purpose: Patients with advanced cancer suffer significant decline of their psychological state. A rapid and reliable evaluation of this state is essential to detect and treat it and improve quality of life. The aim was to probe the usefulness of the emotional function (EF) subscale of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EF-EORTC-QLQ-C30) to assess psychological distress in cancer patients. Methods: This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study involving 15 Spanish hospitals. Patients diagnosed with unresectable advanced thoracic or colorectal cancer were included. Participants completed the Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI-18), the current the gold standard, and the EF-EORTC-QLQ-C30 to assess their psychological distress prior to initiating systemic antineoplastic treatment. Accuracy, sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV), specificity, and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. Results: The sample comprised 639 patients: 283 with advanced thoracic cancer and 356 with advanced colorectal cancer. According to the BSI scale, 74% and 66% displayed psychological distress with an EF-EORTC-QLQ-C30 accuracy of 79% and 76% in detecting psychological distress in individuals with advanced thoracic and colorectal cancer, respectively. Sensitivity was 79 and 75% and specificity was 79 and 77% with a PPV of 92 and 86% and a NPV of 56 and 61% (scale cut-off point, 75) for patients with advanced thoracic and colorectal cancer, respectively. The mean AUC for thoracic cancer was 0.84 and, for colorectal cancer, it was 0.85. Conclusion: This study reveals that the EF-EORTC-QLQ-C30 subscale is a simple and effective tool for detecting psychological distress in people with advanced cancer
Psychological factors and prognostic communication preferences in advanced cancer: multicentre study
Objectives: Communication regarding prognosis to patients with advanced cancer is fundamental for informed medical decision making. Our objective was to analyse (1) the proportion of subjects with advanced cancer who prefer to know their prognosis, (2) the characteristics associated with patients’ preference for prognostic information, (3) the psychological factors that impact the preference to know prognosis and 4) the concordance between preference for prognostic information perceived among physicians and patients. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional design was adopted. Data were collected from 748 participants with advanced cancer at 15 tertiary hospitals in Spain. Participants completed the following questionnaires: Mental Adjustment to Cancer; Trust in the Physician; Uncertainty in Illness Scale Patient’s Prognostic Preferences. Results: Fifty-two per cent of advanced cancer sufferers preferred to know the prognosis of their disease. Compared with participants who preferred not to know, those who did reported more uncertainty, greater satisfaction with their physician and higher scores on positive attitude (all p=0.001). Thirty-seven per cent of the physicians believed that patients want to know their prognosis, indicating that they underestimate the number of such patients. No significant differences were found regarding preference to know prognosis as a function of sociodemographic and clinical variables. Conclusions: A substantial proportion of individuals with advanced cancer prefer to know the prognosis of their disease. It appears that knowing their prognosis was mainly motivated by a need to maintain a positive attitude, lessen uncertainty and by satisfaction with the physician. It is important to explore patients’ preferences for information to offer more personalised communication
Can Oncologists Prompt Patient Prognostic Awareness to Enhance Decision-Making? Data From the NEOetic Study
Introduction: Anti-neoplastic therapy improves the prognosis for advanced cancer, albeit it is not curative. An ethical dilemma that often arises during patients’ first appointment with the oncologist is to give them only the prognostic information they can tolerate, even at the cost of compromising preference-based decision-making, versus giving them full information to force prompt prognostic awareness, at the risk of causing psychological harm. Methods: We recruited 550 participants with advanced cancer. After the appointment, patients and clinicians completed several questionnaires about preferences, expectations, prognostic awareness, hope, psychological symptoms, and other treatment-related aspects. The aim was to characterize the prevalence, explanatory factors, and consequences of inaccurate prognostic awareness and interest in therapy. Results: Inaccurate prognostic awareness affected 74%, conditioned by the administration of vague information without alluding to death (odds ratio [OR] 2.54; 95% CI, 1.47-4.37, adjusted P = .006). A full 68% agreed to low-efficacy therapies. Ethical and psychological factors oriented firstline decision-making, in a trade-off in which some lose quality of life and mood, for others to gain autonomy. Imprecise prognostic awareness was associated with greater interest in low-efficacy treatments (OR 2.27; 95% CI, 1.31-3.84; adjusted P = .017), whereas realistic understanding increased anxiety (OR 1.63; 95% CI, 1.01-2.65; adjusted P = 0.038), depression (OR 1.96; 95% CI, 1.23-3.11; adjusted P = .020), and diminished quality of life (OR 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29-0.75; adjusted P = .011). Conclusion: In the age of immunotherapy and targeted therapies, many appear not to understand that antineoplastic therapy is not curative. Within the mix of inputs that comprise inaccurate prognostic awareness, many psychosocial factors are as relevant as the physicians’ disclosure of information. Thus, the desire for better decision-making can actually harm the patient
