Emotions can be both boon or bane. One of the psychotherapies that uses emotions as the basis to manage patients having difficulty in controlling or adapting emotions is EFT (emotion-focused therapy). It is beneficial in improving one's own self and interpersonal relationships by following and guiding their emotional experiences and thus, bringing positive emotional changes and ultimately, a better change in life. The two major conditions where it is employed more commonly are depression and emotional trauma and have been clinically proven to be successful

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:
Objective: Collaborate effectively with doctors, social workers, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated care for children.
Objective: Advocate for the rights and best interests of their patients, especially when children cannot speak for themselves.
This includes tasks like:
Communicating effectively with healthcare teams.
Identifying and addressing potential risks to child welfare.
Educating families about their child's condition and treatment options.
4. Professional Development and Research:
Objective: Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in pediatric healthcare through continuing education and research.
Objective: Contribute to improving the quality of care for children by participating in research initiatives.
This includes tasks like:

By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

2. Introduction
• Emotion focussed therapy is a brief, validated and systemic
approach to change the rigid interaction pattern and
emotional responses of distressed couples’ and to promote
the development of secure bond between partners.
• EFT formulated with the basic premise that the emotions are
connected with needs and the emotions has adaptive
potential innately that if activated and worked through, can
help people change problematic emotional states and
interpersonal relationships
3. Introduction
• Types of emotional responses:
• Primary adaptive: Initial emotional responses to a given
situation that have a clear beneficial value in the present
situation. (e.g. SADNESS at loss and FEAR at threat)
• Primary adaptive emotion responses "are attended to and
expressed in therapy in order to access the adaptive
information and action tendency to guide problem
solving”.
4. Introduction
• Types of emotional responses:
• Primary maladaptive: Emotional responses to a given
situation which is no longer useful. (e.g. SADNESS at the
joy of others and FEARFUL at non-harmful situation)
• Primary maladaptive emotion responses are accessed in
therapy with the aim of transforming the emotion scheme
through new experiences.
5. Introduction
• Types of emotional responses:
• Secondary reactive: Emotional responses to prior
emotional responses. (e.g. ANGRY about being angry and
SAD about their sadness)
• Secondary reactive emotion responses are accessed and
explored in therapy in order to increase awareness of
them and to arrive at more primary and adaptive emotion
responses
6. Introduction
• Types of emotional responses:
• Instrumental: Emotional responses are experienced and
expressed by a person because the person has learned
that the response has an effect on others. (e.g.
CROCODILE TEARS- instrumental sadness, BULLYING-
instrumental anger)
• IE are explored in therapy to increase the awareness of
their presence and to understand their effect on
interpersonal functioning.

9. ENGAGEMENT
• Goal is to create an alliance.
• Engagement is an ongoing process throughout the therapy
process.
• Goals and agendas of all individual in the room has to be
taken.
• By the end of this process the therapist must have an idea
about the major conflicts among the participants, their basic
interactional cycles and attachment position of each
individual.
10. ASSESSMENT
• Goal is to identify negative interactional attachment cycles
and the feelings (overt and vulnerable) that everyone
experiences during these cycles.
• Technique:
• Track and reflect:
• Interrupt and redirect: Used when one individual distracts
out from the topic of interactional cycle.
11. REFRAMING INTERACTIONAL CYCLE
• Goal is to access the unacknowledged vulnerable feelings of
all participants in therapy in the context of their defensive
emotional experiences that hold their interactional cycle in
place.
• Technique:
• Validation: Validation helps them to stay in contact with
their emotional experiences and removes one major block to
their engagement with their emotional states.
12. REFRAMING INTERACTIONAL CYCLE
• Heightening of emotions: Heightening is a way of helping
individuals fully experience and resonate with their
vulnerable emotions (ONLY); in addition, heightening is a
way of creating powerful emotional experiences in the
session.
• Change only occurs in the context of high arousal of
vulnerable affect.
13. REFRAMING INTERACTIONAL CYCLE
• Evocative Responding: This intervention focuses on the
tentative, unclear, or emerging aspects of individuals‘
experiences. It is presented in the form of reflection or
questions.
• d
• Empathic speculation: The therapist makes inferences about
an individual‘s current state and experience from nonverbal,
interactional, and contextual cues.
• The goal is not to offer insight or to label, but to facilitate
more intense experiencing through the new understandings
about emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that will arise.
14. CHOREOGRAPHING CHANGE
• Goal is to alter the interactional pattern among the
individuals (withdrawn to express and blamer to express
vulnerability).
• They are able to remain fully engaged in the interactional
cycles, expressing their own vulnerable feelings. In so doing,
each person is explicitly taking a new position with the
others in the room and this new position elicits a
reorganization of the interactional cycles
15. CHOREOGRAPHING CHANGE
• Restructuring interactions: Therapist encourages enactment
of the expression of vulnerable feelings thus turning new
emotional experience into new interaction.
• Example of withdrawer restructuring the interaction:
16. CHOREOGRAPHING CHANGE
• Each person in the therapy room sees the others differently
and interacts with them in a new way.
• Withdrawn family members are fully engaged in interactions,
experiencing their own vulnerable feelings and sharing them
with others.
• The more critical individuals are fully softened and have
acknowledged and shared their own attachment desires and
vulnerable feelings.
• Contact between all individuals in treatment has become
intense and authentic.
17. EMOTIONAL ENGAGEMENT
• Goal is to highlight the emergence of new solutions to
relationship problems.
• q
• The therapist becomes less directive and is a guide to keep
interactions on the new level of experiencing one another.
• x
• Techniques:
• Encouragement and support:
• Redirection: The therapist teaches participants to begin
interrupting their own negative interactional cycles and to
reframe it in more adaptive interactional cycles.
18. TERMINATION
• Goal is to consolidate changes that have been made and look
toward the future.
• All participants should be able to reflect on the changes they
have witnessed and made as well as the feelings these
changes have evoked.
19. TERMINATION:
• Aftercare Teaching: A plan should be discussed with all
clients for relapse management and prevention.
• The plan should be in the context of how they can expect
feelings of disconnection again at times, but what ways can
they reconnect with one another.
20. END STATE
• All participants in therapy should appear more flexible in
their relationship positions to one another
• All participants monitor and regulate negative affect in an
emotionally engaged manner.
• A sense of connectedness exists between all participants as
well as a decrease in negative cycles
