| Popis: |
56 patients with an average age of 55 years have been interviewed about their psychosocial situation at the 3rd till 5th day of treatment in a medical department of a hospital. They were more disturbed by their illness than by the medical therapy, although some were even stressed hardly by routine investigations like taking blood or sonographies. The hospital atmosphere was also found to be a source of disturbances (tying away from home, immobilisation). Especially patients older than 60 years, patients who were ill for the first time and those, who were not sufficiently informed had difficulties in adaptation. Female patients had more problems than male patients to cope with the changes. In further studies the different distressing factors and the strategies of coping of the ill should be investigated more exactly during the whole stay in hospital, to develop specific offers to help the patients. |
