Student 1.Schizophrenia is a chronic brain disorder that affects person’s ability to think, feel, and behave properly. These people do not think or interpret reality normally. Symptoms are categorized by positive symptoms and negative symptoms. Positive symptoms include hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, and exaggerated perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. Negative symptoms include inability to show emotions, difficulty talking, withdrawing from situations or relationships, and difficulties finding pleasure. People with schizophrenia struggle a lot. They often hear things that are unreal. They can also see, taste, or smell that are not there but auditory hallucinations is the most common. They get paranoid and they believe people are out there to harass or harm there. Often, they do not take care of themselves. The main concern for these people is safety. Due to the fact that they hear things that are not there, they can harm themselves or they can harm other people. This is the main concern for these type of populations. There are antipsychotic medications that are available in the market to help patients with schizophrenia. These medications help reduce acute symptoms and it helps balance the chemicals in the brain. Moreover, these medications can reduce the potential of a future episode of the disease. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a good option for treating these populations. If I were this person with schizophrenia, I would tell my nurse all my fears related to my disorder. The fear of me being harmed or me hurting others due to my disorder. I would also tell the nurse the things I like to do that can help me reduce my stress such as playing badminton and riding my bicycle. I would tell her that I would do anything I can to get better and live a normal life. I will do whatever it takes for me to get better. Student 2. Schizophrenia is a brain disease that occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood. It is usually chronic and affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. I once met a patient who was diagnosed with schizophrenia disorder. The patient refused treatment (Medication). The patient believes he is fine and nothing is wrong, so he feels he does not need any medication. The patient was already experiencing behavioral changes and difficulties performing his daily activities at this time. What are the positive and negative symptoms? Positive symptoms include hallucinations, Bizarre behavior, delusion, difficulty sleeping, and formal thought disorder. Negative symptoms, which also include depression. Lack of motivation, social withdrawal, and Anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure) affect the patient’s ability to experience life in general. What are the person’s struggles? What treatments have been tried and failed? What works? The person faced a lot of struggles, such as having difficulty in performing daily activities, hearing voices, and withdrawal from family and friends, he was also unaware of his condition, and his speech was not aligned (disorganized speech) The patient was on Anti- Psychotic medication, which helps him relax for a while and works until he starts refusing treatment. Aside from medication, psychotherapy and social skill training worked for the patient, which helped improve the patient’s ability to participate in daily activities. If you were that person, what would you like to tell your nurse about yourself, your needs, and your fears? I would tell the nurse to explain why I should take my medication daily and why I was placed on that medication. Also, I fear death because of the voices asking me to jump out of the window. An example of a hallucination is a woman who sees a black jacket hanging in the closet, and she misinterprets and believes he sees a bear. Student 3.Schizophrenia can have two faces. The main symptoms of schizophrenia are divided into positive (productive) and negative (loss). Positive symptoms are additional stimuli, such as delusions or hallucinations, that are not reflected in reality. Negative symptoms, in turn, are characterized by a loss of the ability to experience and express emotions, the patient’s withdrawal from life, and, consequently, their complete isolation from the world. They also include decreased motivation to act, reduced life energy, and limited emotional and verbal expression. At work, I had the opportunity to admit a sixty year old patient who had been treated for negative symptoms of schizophrenia for over 20 years. The main reasons for hospitalization were malaise, exacerbation of disease symptoms, and delusional statements. In addition, he reported losing interest and motivation in life and activities, patient was sad and depressed, had difficulty falling asleep, and had an eating disorder. The patient withdrew from the life of the ward, did not participate in occupational and social therapy, showed difficulties in establishing contact with the environment, and lack of hygienic habits. The mainstay of the patient’s treatment was pharmacotherapy, which was not always effective. The patient often refused to take the medications. The doctor recommended psychotherapy and psychoeducation for pharmacological treatment, which significantly impacted the patient. The patient became interested in social life, talking to others, and participating in various group games. If I were sick with schizophrenia, I would like to tell the nurse to be warm and patient and to speak to me in a friendly voice even when I do not want to listen to her. I want to tell her that it is not me but my illness that makes me who I am. Student 4. Schizophrenia is a wide array of primary psychotic disorders, usually manifesting in patients through hallucinations, delusions, cognitive difficulties, and disordered thinking or behavior. It is chronic and affects how the patient thinks, feels, and behaves (Varcarolis & Fosbre, 2021, p. 250). Recently, I met an 18yrs old male schizophrenic patient at work. He had positive symptoms such as hallucinations, catatonia, delusion, eccentric behavior, and sporadically changing meaningless discussion topics. His parents were more concerned about his negative symptoms, such as apathy and lack of motivation. He was also socially withdrawn and anhedonic. Initially diagnosed, he went into denial and refused to take drugs for a while, which worsened his condition. He struggled to be a typical teenager like his twin and was unhappy because he worried everyone. He is now on olanzapine and clozapine and feeling better. I am very private and would find discussing my issues with anyone difficult. SCIENCE HEALTH SCIENCE NURSING MENTAL NR 326
