Optimal Healing Environment (OHE) is a post modern concept that aims to promote healing through positively influencing and supporting the four domains of OHE, viz, Personal, Interpersonal, Behavioral and External domains. Sense of coherence approach to wellbeing (Salutogenesis) fits in well with interpersonal and behavioral domains of OHE. Yoga therapy uses holistic approach to mind-body healing and can focus on promoting optimal healing as a complementary healthcare service to Evidence-based modern medicine in an integrative practice of holistic care.
Since the publication of the eye-opening revelations "To Err is Human" and "Quality Chasm" Patient Centered Care (PCC) has been promoted as an important concept which every medical student in 21st century ought to learn and internalize.
This slide set is based on recent articles published on PCC and how to effectively teach and learn in health sciences curricula. A recent doctoral research conducted by the author and his team, which has revealed robust evidence of 8-fold improvement in patient satisfaction after the postgraduates underwent intensive training of skills for effective PCC.

Is respecting patient autonomy enough or must we promote patient autonomy as ...Mark Sullivan
In this presentation, I examine the duty to respect patient autonomy through the requirement for informed consent. I argue that this is inadequate for outpatients with chronic disease. In these patients, we must also promote patient autonomy, understood broadly as the capacity to do and be things of value, for this is the core of the health that is the goal of care.
Using Sense of Coherence and 'ikigai' for holistic view of Humanity's respons...K Raman Sethuraman
Humanity's responses to the Covid-19 pandemic has been variable and often chaotic. This presentation attempts to use 'Sense of coherence' and 'Ikigai' as 2 lenses to gain a holistic perspective of the varied human responses to the pandemic crisis of 2020.
Comprehension or understanding, Manageability or coping-behavior, and Meaningfulness are the three components of Sense of Coherence (SOC), first proposed by Antonovsky. Ikigai is a Japanese concept of one's 'Purpose of Life', which has been modified by a life-coach from the West. Using SOC and Ikigai, we can try to get a holistic understanding of the varied responses of humanity across the globe.

Abstract— Spiritual or compassionate care involves serving the whole person i.e. physical, emotional, social, spiritual etc dimensions of health. Spirituality has now been identified globally as an important aspect for providing answers to many questions related to health and happiness. The World Health Organization is also looking beyond physical, mental and social dimensions of the health i.e. the spiritual health and its impact on the overall health and happiness of an individual. Spiritual commitment tends to enhance recovery from illness and surgery also. Spiritually is transpired both in order to comfort the dying and to broaden one's own understanding of life at its ending. Spiritual beliefs can help patients cope with disease and face death. So it should be necessarily be add-on in critical stage of disease. Nowadays in some of medical schools in developed countries has included as a curreculam of patient care. Now it is the time that all Medical Colleges should include educating their students about spiritual health care in comprehensive patient care. Medical Council of India should also take some action in this direction.

In 21st Century, when medical information is freely available to everyone, soft skill-set combined with technical competence is the key to professional success as a clinical care provider. The various components of soft-skills viz, Professionalism Humanism, Communication skills are discussed. Research findings on how to enhance patient satisfaction 8-fold by improving communication skills is highlighted.
Ikigai (reason for being) versus Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs K Raman Sethuraman
Ikigai is a Japanese word that signifies "sense of Purpose" in one's life. Ikigai fulfillment promotes wellness. Maslow's needs are hierarchically arranged from Basic needs to Psychological and Self-actualization needs. According to Maslow's theory, fulfillment of the "lower deficiency needs' can curb one's motivation, while fulfillment of "growth needs" would further increase the motivation to excel.
While E-health is based on networked I-C-T devices of the humans, operated by the humans for human healthcare and wellness, IOMT is a network of the ‘smart-devices’, operated by the devices for human healthcare and wellness. An estimated 160 million smart medical devices are expected to be connected in 2020. This number will increase exponentially. We need to be prepared for the disruptive influence of IOMT on the present-day healthcare paradigm. A major concern is the sheer magnitude of digital healthcare data generated by IOMT. Are we creating a "Digital Black hole" is a question for deep introspection.
In view of advances in artificial intelligence and global connectivity, tomorrow's doctors need to develop skills set that would help them to outperform the AI-gadgets and stay relevant in the 21st Century. Critical thinking, Creative Problem solving, Communication skills and Collaborative team-work are among the top skills needed for healthcare professionals of the future.
The estimated delay of 17 years for scientific discovery to reach clinical practice is a matter of great concern. The current flow-charts do not even acknowledge the important role of Effective Teaching of Basic sciences that is oriented to real-life clinical practice. This brief PPT set addresses this issue.
Salutogenic approach is based in promoting sense of coherence by making the person i) comprehend the situation or the challenge ii) find ways to manage it, using general and specific resistance resources and iii) find it meaningful to cope with the challenge and accept the outcome. Using real-life case narratives, this slide set explains how to practice salutogenic approach in patients with diabetes and its complications.
The essence of authentic assessment is to focus on real-life tasks and competencies relevant to later day professional practice. Since 2018, there is a national move in India to adopt Competency-based medical curriculum to produce IMG (Indian Medical Graduate) who would possess the competencies to be a competent clinician, an effective Communicator, a team-leader, an ethical Professional and a life-long learner. This slide-set looks at an authentic curriculum and how to develop an authentic assessment 'for', 'as' and 'of' learning.
Attitude, Ethics and Communication-skills for the Teacher and the TaughtK Raman Sethuraman
Imparting education to inculcate ethical values, professional attitude and effective inter-personal communication is much stressed in current curricula for Medical and other Health-professions. This talk stresses the need for the teachers to evolve themselves as positive role models if they wish to be effective in their mission to empower their students with values and professional identity.
Concepts and principles of bioethics for the students of health professionsK Raman Sethuraman
Students and many educators have difficulty in differentiating among Legal, Ethical and Moral viewpoints. After explaining these terms, the concept of biomedical ethics, a brief history of its origin in the post-War period and the components of ethics are explained. The final part is on Nursing ethics, attributes of an ethical nurse and ethical challenges faced by the nursing profession.
Novice medico to graduate doctor climbing the competency ladder K Raman Sethuraman
From the time of entry in to a medical college, over 4 to 6 years time, a novice medico is expected to acquire several competencies that go to make a competent doctor. The medical teachers need to construct the learning ladder as a progressive path to acquiring these competencies. This slide set explains the various "ladders" viz., Miller's Pyramid, Dreyfus competency stages and RIME framework and also Dunning-Kruger effect that explains why many novices do not acquire the competencies.
Authentic assessment of affective domain in medical educationK Raman Sethuraman
To be effective, Medical education needs to set up authentic methods for assessing and evaluating the affective domain, based on Bloom's taxonomy. This domain is the most difficult to assess. Checklists, Rating scales and Rubrics are useful tools, as explained in this slide-set.
Optimum assessment of cognitive domain in medical educationK Raman Sethuraman
To be effective, Medical education needs to set up authentic methods for assessing and evaluating all the domains of learning, based on Bloom's taxonomy. This slide-set is on cognitive domain.
This talk, delivered in the 4th international meet on Music Therapy at Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, discusses the concept of Salutogenesis and highlights how a music therapist could help create an Optimal Healing Environment. Curing is not the same as Healing but they are complementary and both are perhaps essential for holistic wellness.
Innovations in Medical Education are needed to align it with 21st Century needs and aspirations. Globally efforts are under way since the release of Lancet Commission report in Dec-2010 on Transforming Health Professions in the 21st Century
Integrated teaching for effective learning in health professionsK Raman Sethuraman
Health professions education, being complex is ideally suited for integrated teaching-learning. This is a slide-set that will help you to conduct a 100-minute session set in a workshop mode. Suitable for Educators of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing and allied health professions.
Clinical Skills Training, to be effective, has to be based on the science of Simulation Pedagogy. This slide-set is a part of a presented in the International conference on Simulation in Medical Education held in AIMST University, Malaysia.
A brief presentation of "Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes" (SOLO) applied to Medicine.
A worked out medical example with all the 5-levels of SOLO taxonomy is presented.
This should make it easy for Medical educators to adopt and use this innovative way of assessing written answers.

4. My Epiphany Moment-1: Cure and Healing
“Healing goes beyond Cure, Doctor.
Let us say, as we are chatting, your car is being
stolen now. You find it out during lunch hour and
report to the Police. Let us say, using GPS, they
locate it and get it back in a day or two. The police
will close the case as they have solved (cured) your
problem.
But, are you back to the Normal self after that?
No, while you are at work here, you are worried
about the car being stolen again! So, your problem
is ‘cured’ but you are not ‘healed’ yet...”

Lung Function normalcy is not the same as Healing
6. My Epiphany Moment-2a (WHO Workshop “Medicine & Society, 1990):
“Effective Therapies include Information & Faith”
- L Sachs, G Tomson (Medical/Anthropological Study, Karolinska Institute)
Therapy = intervention + information + faith

8. I. Placebo & Nocebo Effects*
• Placebo:
“I shall please” in Latin.
• Nocebo:
“I shall harm” in Latin.
*Any effect attributable to a medication or a procedure,
not based on its pharmacologic or specific properties
9. Placebo Quantified…
• Placebo response rate:
• 15% to 58% ; mean = 35%
– Prof Beecher of Harvard in 1955
• “in randomized clinical trials on duodenal
ulcer, the placebo benefit was up to 70%
and a mean of 50%”
– Professor H.M. Spiro of Yale in 1986

10. PET Scan Proof of Placebo effect
• Normal PET scan of basal
ganglia for comparison
• Pre and Post are before and
after administering a placebo
in Parkinson's disease
• Placebo effect is mediated by
dopamine release in the basal
ganglia
de la Fuente-Fernández, R. et al., Expectation and dopamine release: mechanism
of the placebo effect in Parkinson’s disease. Science, 2001; 293: 1164–6.
11. Dr Ted Kaptchuk, A Harvard Professor says…
“It is time that the powerful
placebo be examined in all
its myriad facets; otherwise
medicine will always have a
limited perception of
healing.” -- Kaptchuk T, 1998
Watch TED Talk at this link:
https://www.tedmed.com/talks/show?id=299407
12. Post Modern Voices…
• “Patients could benefit from
clinicians maximising the
potential of placebo effects
associated with effective
therapies.”
– Ernst, 2007
• “A successful doctor–
patient relationship can
foster a strong placebo
response while mitigating
any nocebo response.”
– Olshansky, 2007
“In Clinical Practice, Placebo is not an unwanted interference;
Nocebo is” – Prof KR Sethuraman (1993 – 2020-’21)
13. II. Hawthorne effect
– caring as a beneficial force
• When employees perceived
that the employer “cared”,
productivity always
improved.
– Classic Harvard study in
Western Electric Co’s
Hawthorne plant during
1927 – 37
• Hawthorne effect is relevant
to all “caring” enterprises
including health care.
• Patients “feel better” after
deciding to put themselves
under the care of a
physician, a nurse, or a
hospital.
Google search ‘Hawthorne effect’ to get interesting stories on this “Force”
14. Hawthorne Effect Matters
• The attitudes of the
management and
supervisors influenced the
length of hospital stay:
• Evidence shows that “the
more supportive the admin
staff of healthcare, the
shorter the hospital stay.”
• “Unfortunately, the
healthcare providers and
managers have, until
recently, ignored these
seminal ideas”
– Dr Kerr White, 1996.
15. III. Spiritual factor and Health
• The WHO definition of
health was revised in 1984:
• “Health is a dynamic state
of complete physical,
mental, spiritual and social
well-being…”
• Khayat, 1998
16. WHO study: Quality of Life, Spirituality, Religion
& Personal Beliefs (SRPB) N = 5087 in 18 countries
• SRPB factors correlated with all
the Quality of Life domains.
• Women reported greater
feelings of spiritual connection
and faith than men.
• Less educated reported greater
faith.
• We need to assess
our patients’
Spirituality,
Religion &
Personal Beliefs
• they affect the
perceived quality
of life - WHO
17. AAMC Endorses Eclectic Spirituality
• “Spirituality: an individual’s search for the ultimate meaning
through participation in religion and/or belief in God,
family, naturalism, rationalism, humanism, and the arts.”
• these factors influence how patients and health care
professionals perceive health & illness and how they
interact with one another.”
– Association of American Medical Colleges 1999
18. Post Modern Views on Spirituality
• Prayer is not a substitute for rational medical treatment
• It is an important element in the way patients cope with
chronic illness, suffering, and loss
• Physicians need to address and be attentive to all suffering of
their patients – be it physical, emotional, or spiritual
• Doing so is part of the delivery of compassionate care
– Jantos & Kiat, 2007; Puchalski, 2001.
19. Piece-meal Specialty Care vs Holistic Medicine
• “Holistic healing is rarely discussed in
organ-focussed specialty care”
– unlike other disciplines like
– Medical Sociology,
– Medical Anthropology
– C.A.M. Options (AYUSH disciplines )
Dear doctor: a personal letter to a physician
by Charles E. Odegaard
20. Holistic Healing*
• To heal is to achieve or acquire wholeness
as a person.
• The wholeness involves physical,
emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual
aspects of human experience. Thomas R. Egnew
Family medicine Chief,
Washington School of
Medicine
* The Meaning Of Healing. http://www.annfammed.org/cgi/content/abstract/3/3/255
21. Types of Healing
• Spontaneous natural healing
• Technological healing
– based on active medications or procedures
• Interpersonal healing – Placebo effect etc
-- Miller, et al. (2009)
Miller, F.G., Colloca, L. & Kaptchuk, T.J., 2009. The placebo effect: illness and
interpersonal healing. Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 52, pp.518–39

Can We Ethically Promote
innate Healing Responses?
Self Doubt on Appropriateness of Modern Physicians
to Holistic-care
23. How to Ethically Promote Innate Healing Response
• i) speak positively about
treatment
• ii) provide encouragement
• iii) develop trust
• iv) provide reassurance
• v) support relationships
• vi) respect individuality
(uniqueness of each case)
• vii) explore values
• viii) create ceremony
25. Moving from Curing to Optimal Healing
• Healing & cure are complementary; both are essential.
• Healing processes are
– preventive (retain health and build resilience),
– restorative ( facilitate recovery), and
– palliative (maximize function and wellbeing)
• One can ‘heal’ even when recovery & cure are not possible.
• Adopt Healing-oriented care & approach to create an optimal
healing environment (OHE)
• Post Modern trend: create patient centered OHE

Let us now discuss how
Sense of Coherence Approach to Wellness
links with Inter-personal factors of optimal healing
Interpersonal Factors for Healing through
Sense of Coherence
31. Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence (SoC) & Wellness
• A strong SoC helped that individual to cope better with stressors and feel
well despite the challenges
• He enunciated that SoC had three components:
i) Comprehension, ii) Manageability, & iii) Meaningfulness
• Manageability requires general and specific resistance resources to
oppose the Stressor
• My Surmise: Yoga therapy is a General Resistance resource for all
and provides Specific Resistance resource for Mind-body Medicine.

35. How Yoga therapy impacts Behaviour
• Yoga therapy involves integrated mental, physical and
spiritual practices that promote Salutogenesis.
• Lifestyle-based wellness choices can maximize positive life
experiences through salutogenic approach:
– joy, vitality, serenity, happiness, self-actualization, and
other qualities that make life worth living
• Wellness & Health go beyond mere absence of pathology
– 40% of illnesses have no pathological basis (MUS)
– Yoga therapy can be quite beneficial in MUS
36. Self Rumination Promote Subjective vitality

38. Wellness through Transcendence & Mental Mastery
Transcendence includes
• feelings of oneness with surroundings,
• intense happiness, ecstasy, bliss, or unity
with the entire human community.
• mental mastery, resulting in as a low level
of anxiety, sadness, irritability, and
depression
39. • Salutogenesis is a general process of healing in all dimensions of a
person—body, mind, social, and spirit to foster wellness, laughter, Joy
of living and coping with life’s challenges
• Promote Sense of coherence by making the clients understand the
challenges, offer advice on coping strategies that they find meaningful
to follow, which go to make them feel well & joyful
• In addition to evidence based scientific therapy, create an optimal
healing environment, for which Yoga Therapy as a complementary
process will be of great assistance.
Summing
Up:
40. Looking in to the Future
• Advances in neuro-imaging and genomics will provide insight
into the body’s own natural healing capability
• We will unravel the secrets of the placebo effect and other
healing factors (Hawthorne effect & Spiritual factor)
• Then we could offer evidence based healing therapy
incorporating these “endogenous healthcare forces” that
unify the art and science of healing

44. Let us all Introspect ...
• The patient heard the song daily for the next few days and
then succumbed to the terminal cancer
• Two Questions to all Doctors to introspect:
1. With all the powerful remedies that we have in our
armamentarium, can we make a terminally ill patient feel
alive and smile?
2. If we cannot do it, why not get therapists, who can do so??
