Emotional Comfort: Patient Perspectives of a Therapeutic State Associate Professor Anne Williams

“In all the wonderful work being done in the field of medicine and healing, there is one basic concept that is often dismissed as irrelevant. That is the relationship between the mind and the body, and the possibility that this relationship might have a direct effect on either our state of health or our ability to heal.” (Shapiro, 1999, p. 1)

Background

Methodology Method: Grounded Theory Data: 72 (40+16+16) Patient Interviews and 78 Hours of Field Observations Analysis: Constant Comparative Method Data Management: QRS Nud*ist (4) Sampling: Theoretical

“Optimising Personal Control to Facilitate Emotional Comfort” A Substantive Theory “Optimising Personal Control to Facilitate Emotional Comfort” Personal Control: The ability of the patient to influence the level of comfort

A pleasant positive state of the mind, a state of relaxation EMOTIONAL COMFORT A pleasant positive state of the mind, a state of relaxation “… if you feel comfortable and good about it well obviously it’s going to help your healing ...” (Patient)

Conditions Facilitating Emotional Comfort Feeling safe and secure Feeling informed Feeling valued as a person Feeling connected to other people

A Therapeutic State Mind-Body Connection An increase in emotional comfort decreased physical discomfort The optimal state for recovery from illness or injury was Emotional Comfort.

Relaxation and Calmness “It made me feel better, it just made me feel even more relaxed … I can’t describe it any other way. I just feel better … in here, in my heart” (P09)

Physical problems were less noticeable “… the difference of course was that if you feel better within yourself … you don’t remember the down sides” (P31) “… You don’t notice your aches and pains … you skip over it …” (P32)

Creating a Therapeutic Environment “I felt that the people at the hospital really knew how to support me and they knew how to make me feel relaxed. They created an environment in which I felt able to make a good recovery” (P12)

Future Directions Further exploration of Emotional Comfort as a therapeutic state Development of an instrument to measure Emotional Comfort Development of interventions which facilitate Emotional Comfort. Development of environments which promote Emotional Comfort.
