II. INTRODUCTION

Page 9: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia causes distorted and bizarre thoughts, perceptions, emotions,

movements, and behavior. It cannot be defined as a single illness ; rather schizophrenia is

thought of as a syndrome or disease process with many different varieties and symptoms

much like the varieties of cancer. For decades, the public vastly misunderstood

schizophrenia, fearing it as dangerous and uncontrollable and causing wild disturbances and

violent outbursts. Many people believed that those with schizophrenia needed to be locked

away from society and institutionalized. Only recently has the mental health industry come

to learn and educate the community at large that schizophrenia has many different

symptoms and presentations and is an illness that medication can control. Thanks to the

increased effectiveness of newer atypical antipsychotic drugs and advances in community-

based treatment, many clients with schizophrenia live successfully in the community. Clients

whose illness is medically supervised and whose treatment is maintained often continue to

live and sometimes work in the community with family and outside support.

Schizophrenia usually is diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood. Rarely

does it manifest in childhood. The peak incidence of onset is 15 to 25 years of age for men

and 25 to 35 years of age for women (America Psychiatric Association, 2000).

Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common type of schizophrenia in most parts of

the world. The clinical picture is dominated by relatively stable, often paranoid, delusions,

usually accompanied by hallucinations, particularly of the auditory variety, and perceptual

disturbances. Disturbances of affect, volition, and speech, and catatonic symptoms, are not

prominent. With paranoid schizophrenia, your ability to think and function in daily life may

be better than with other types of schizophrenia. You may not have as many problems with

Page | 9

Page 10: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

memory, concentration or dulled emotions. Still, paranoid schizophrenia is a serious, lifelong

condition that can lead to many complications, including suicidal behavior.

Patients who have paranoid schizophrenia that has thought disorder may be obvious

in acute states, but if so it does not prevent the typical delusions or hallucinations from

being described clearly. Affect is usually less blunted than in other varieties of

schizophrenia, but a minor degree of incongruity is common, as are mood disturbances such

as irritability, sudden anger, fearfulness, and suspicion. "Negative" symptoms such as

blunting of affect and impaired volition are often present but do not dominate the clinical

picture. The course of paranoid schizophrenia may be episodic, with partial or complete

remissions, or chronic. In chronic cases, the florid symptoms persist over years and it is

difficult to distinguish discrete episodes. The onset tends to be later than in the hebephrenic

and catatonic forms.

In the Philippine setting, the disability survey done in 2000 by the National Statistics

Office (NSO) found out that mental illness was the 3rd most common form of disability in

the country. The prevalence rate of schizophrenia was 88 cases per 100,000 populations and

was highest among the elderly group. This finding was supported by a more recent data

from the Social Weather Station Survey commissioned by DOH in 2004. It reveals that 0.7

percent of the total households have a family member afflicted with mental disability. The

Baseline Survey for the National Objectives for Health in 2000 stated that the more

frequently reported symptoms of an underlying mental health problem were sadness,

confusion, forgetfulness, and no control over the use of cigarettes and alcohol, and

delusions.

Page | 10

Page 11: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

The most recent study on the prevalence of mental health problems was conducted

by the National Epidemiology Center (DOH-NEC) in 2006 which showed revealing results

though the target population was limited only to government employees from the 20

national agencies in Metro Manila. Among 327 respondents, 32 percent were found to have

experienced a mental health problem at least once in their lifetime. The three most

prevalent diagnoses were: specific phobias (15 %), alcohol abuse (10%), depression and

schizophrenia (6%). Mental health problems were significantly associated with the following

respondent characteristics: ages 20-29 years, those who have big families, and those who

had low educational attainment. The prevalence rate generated from the survey was much

higher than those that were previously reported by 17 percent.

Currently, there is no method for preventing schizophrenia and there is no cure.

Minimizing the impact of disease depends mainly on early diagnosis and, appropriate

pharmacological and psycho-social treatments. Hospitalization may be required to stabilize

ill persons during an acute episode. The need for hospitalization will depend on the severity

of the episode. Mild or moderate episodes may be appropriately addressed by intense

outpatient treatment. A person with schizophrenia should leave the hospital or outpatient

facility with a treatment plan that will minimize symptoms and maximize quality of life.

We primarily chose this case because of all kinds of schizophrenia; the paranoid type

is the most manageable one. Moreover, according to studies with proper and effective

treatment, paranoid schizophrenic patients have a greater chance to have a normal life.

Aside from that Mr. A.M. was the most coherent and most responsive of all our clients. This

entire case is highly possible to be studied comprehensively within the limited time

available.

Page 17: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

a) Past Health History

From the client's history in chart, he was working in a mining company at 17 years

old. When in 1985, he was figured in a mining accident; he was trapped in a machine

with rocks. The client spare 6 months in the hospital for his physical injuries. Since

then, he became restless and anxious each time he heard loud noises. After

recovery, Mr. A.M., was able to return working in the mining company he had been

before but was fired from work because of carnapping the car owned by the

company.

In 1990, he reportedly began to use marijuana and alcohol. He developed a

behavioral disorder. He was restless, irritable and violent. He hit a child whereby a

case was filed to him but his family settled the case. As said in the chart he was

confined at Roseville Rehabilitation Center for 2 months for psychological treatment

commenced with CPZ, and depot injection. The client had requested treatments and

follow-ups. And in 1995, the client was confined again at Baguio General Hospital for

2 months at the Psychiatric Ward.

As claimed by the client, he was still addicted to marijuana and alcohol after

being discharged from Baguio General Hospital until they had moved in Capaz, Tarlac

on 2004.

There he worked as a farmer together with his father, in their own small

farm. He also had a fight with his brother that made the latter to leave their house

without permission.

In January 2006, he refused to take medications and go for follow-ups. The

family was unable to purchase depot prep. He became irritable, sleepless, and

restless.

Page | 17

Page 18: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

In August 2006, he stubbed his father with a nail. He was charged in court but

case was not pursued. The client was forced to take medications to lessen the signs

and symptoms he manifested.

b) Present Health History

One week before admission, the client was again noted to be irritable. He ran

after a kid with a knife and burned some appliances at home (bed and soft cushion).

This prompted his family to seek help from Mariveles Mental Hospital. Mr. A.M. was

then diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by Dra. Evangelista upon admission on

September 18,2006.

Mr. A.M. is currently confined at Mariveles Mental Hospital Ward B. The

client stayed at the ward for 4 years now. He talks with some clients in the ward.

Mr. A.M. said that he spent most of his time in sleeping. He sings when he wanted

to.

Mr. A.M. shows only a few of the presenting complains, such as; interrupted

sleep and irrelevant speech. Mr. A.M. was manageable and showed little

manifestation during daily interaction. Mr. A.M. participates well in the therapies

and other activities.

The father last visited the client on July 4, 2009. However, until now, none of

his family members came back to visit him.

Last July, the client has an order for conduction but still waiting for the

scheduled date of discharge.

c) Family History

As the client said, they have no history of having hypertension or diabetes

mellitus both on his parent’s side. He did not remember that his family and other

relatives do have any hereditary illnesses.

Family history of having mental disorder was denied, as written on the chart. But

when we asked the client, his brother was confined at Mandaluyong Mental Hospital

until this time. He also stated that his uncle does have a mental disorder before.

d) Social History

i. Childhood

Mr. A.M. was born in Tuguegarao, but he grew up in Baguio City. He

Mr. A.M. had a good relationship with his parents, especially to his father.

The client is closer to his father than to his mother. As claimed by the client,

he & his siblings are in good terms when they are young.

The client stated that he was bullied when he was young. Some of his

childhood peers asked him to spanks their mate and he did it. He always

followed what his friends commanded to him. Mr. A.M. said that he does not

want to be out of place when he was with his friends, so he does whatever

his peers told him to do so.

Page 20: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

ii. Adolescence

During his adolescent age, he learned how to masturbate. The client

said that he learned it only by himself, when he was 12 or 13 as remembered.

He told us that it is a part of growing up.

When he was in 2nd year high school, he started to court a woman,

and this became his first and last relationship before he was confined to

MMH. The client also gained friends of the same and opposite sex. Mr. A.M.

joined a fraternity when he was a sophomore student. He only finished

second year high school due to insufficient financial status and he’s also lazy

in going school.

At the age of 17, he started to work at a mining company.

Unfortunately, in 1985, he was trapped in a machine with rocks. He was

confined in the hospital for 2 months. This results him to become restless and

anxious whenever he heard loud noises. This is the time when his 1st sign and

symptom started to manifest.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

(Theory of Drug Abuse)

(Disease Theory of Alcoholism)

Page | 40

Page 41: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

The theory of drug abuse views that drug is use as part of the individual’s attempt to

deal with needs and conflicts, relations with others, and the social environment in which he

or she lives. Since all of these vary with age and stage of life, one would expect drugs to be

used and abused for different purposes at different points in the life cycle.

In relation with the client’s past life experiences, he used and became addicted to

marijuana for so many years that led him to have disturbed thoughts and confusions.

The modern disease theory of alcoholism states that problem drinking is sometimes

caused by a disease of the brain, characterized by altered brain structure and function.

Alcoholism is a chronic, life-long disease, such as diabetes. However, if managed properly,

damage to the brain can be stopped and to some extent reversed. In addition to problem

drinking, the disease is characterized by symptoms including an impaired control over

alcohol, compulsive thoughts about alcohol, and distorted thinking.

The client was alcoholic since he was only 21 years old up to the time before he was

admitted to MMH. Too much consumption of alcohol may affect one’s thinking processes.

(Maslow’s hierarchy of Needs)

Page | 42

Page 43: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Highly stressful situations - may trigger schizoaffective disorder especially in those

people who have inherited a tendency to develop the disorder. Lack of loving and nurturing

care, one of many other factors, is thought to be responsible for mental problems in later life.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs- After physiological and safety needs are fulfilled, the third

layer of human needs are social and involve feelings of belongingness. This aspect of

Maslow's hierarchy involves emotionally based relationships in general, such as:

Friendship

Intimacy

Family

Love and belonging; Humans need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, whether

it comes from a large social group, such as clubs, office culture, religious groups,

professional organizations, sports teams, gangs, or small social connections (family

members, intimate partners, mentors, close colleagues, confidants). People need to love

and be loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others. In the absence of these elements, many

people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and clinical depression.

Adaptation Theory

Interdependence Mode: The close relationships of people and their purpose, structure

and development individually and in groups and the adaptation potential of these groups.

This is the Mode of Adaptation, Mang A. failed to undergone. He was not able to adapt on

those highly stressful situations which caused his mental disorder.

Page | 43

Page 44: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

In relation with the client’s life, he had experienced stressful work situation (separation

from his family) and failure in love relationship. Failure of the client to adapt with those life

experiences, made a traumatic impact on him, which resulted Mr. A.M. to have a decrease

coping ability and low self esteem manifesting sadness, hopelessness, stressed, problem in

concentration and worthlessness.

Altered levels of dopamine and serotonin

Paranoia

Imbalance Neurotransmitter

Page | 45

Page 46: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

A Neurotransmitter imbalance—either too much or too little—of these

neurotransmitters is thought to generate psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression,

ADHD and other emotional disorders.

Dopamine. Regulation of dopamine plays a crucial role in our mental and physical

health. It moves into the frontal lobe and regulates the flow of information coming in from

other areas of the brain. A shortage or problem with the flow of dopamine can cause a

person to lose the ability to think rationally, demonstrated in schizophrenia. Also, an excess

of dopamine in the limbic system and not enough in the cortex may produce a suspicious

personality and possible paranoia.

Serotonin is key to our feelings of happiness and very important for our emotions

because it helps defend against both anxiety and depression. It has many different effects in

the human mind and body; it helps to regulate mood, sleep cycles, appetite, memory, and

some muscular functions. Deficiencies in serotonin availability have been linked to

depression, anxiety, irregular appetite, aggression and pain sensation. You may have a

shortage of serotonin if you have a sad depressed mood, anxiety, panic attacks, low energy,

migraines, sleeping problems, obsession or compulsions, feel tense and irritable, crave

sweets, and have a reduced interest in sex.

Our client with imbalances in the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, has an

altered brain processes which lead him to have lose ability to think/perceive rationally

(delusions & hallucinations), uncontrolled experience of pleasure and pain, lose control

movement & uncontrolled emotional response (paranoia). Dopamine is responsible for his

thinking skills while serotonin is more on his moods/feelings. Either increase or decrease in

these neurotransmitters affect the client’s cognitive skills and emotional responses.

Genetic Factor

Page | 47

Page 48: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

It show the complex interactions that occur between mood disorder related genes

and their impact on mood disorder related brain circuitry. The study makes it clear that

individual genes have to be viewed in a context, both a genetic and an environmental

context.

Genetic Factor

Most genetic studies have focused on immediate families (i.e. parents, siblings,

offspring) to examine whether schizophrenia is genetically transmitted or inherited. Few

have focused on more distant relatives. The most important studies have centered on

twins; these findings have demonstrated that identical twins have a 50% risk for

schizophrenia; that is, if one twin has schizophrenia, the other has a 50% chance of

developing it as well. Fraternal twins have only a 15% risk (Kirkpatrick & Tek, 2005). This

finding indicates that schizophrenia is at least partially inherited.

Other important studies have shown that children with one biologic parent with

schizophrenia have a 15% risk; the risk rises to 35% if both biologic parents have

schizophrenia. Children adopted at birth into a family with no history of schizophrenia but

whose biologic parents have a history of schizophrenia still reflect the genetic risk of their

biologic parents. All these studies have indicated a genetic risk or tendency for

schizophrenia, but genetics cannot be the only factor: identical twins have only 50% risk

even though their genes are 100% identical (Riley & Kendler, 2005).

In relation with client’s family history, as claimed, his sibling and his uncle are also

having mental disorders. Beside of neurotransmitter imbalances, head trauma, stressful life

situations and substance abuse that are present with the client, studies show that genetics

is one of the major factors that may contribute in having paranoid schizophrenia.

Personality changes Aggressive behaviorsPoor concentration

Part of the brain is affected

Neuropsychological problems

Leads to traumatic brain injury

Head Trauma

Page | 49

Page 50: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Head trauma survivors may experience a range of neuropsychological problems

following a traumatic brain injury. Depending on the part of the brain affected and the

severity of the injury, the result on any one individual can vary greatly. Personality changes,

memory and judgement deficits, lack of impulse control, and poor concentration are all

common. Behavioral changes can be stressful for families and caregivers who must learn to

adapt their communication techniques, established relationships, and expectations of what

the impaired person can or cannot do. In some cases extended cognitive and behavioral

rehabilitation in a residential or outpatient setting will be necessary to regain certain skills. A

neuropsychologist also may be helpful in assessing cognitive deficits. However, over the

long term both the survivor and any involved family members will need to explore what

combination of strategies work best to improve the functional and behavioral skills of the

impaired individual.

Personality changes are often an exaggeration of the person's pre-injury personality

in which personality traits become intensified. Head trauma survivors may experience short-

term problems and/or amnesia related to certain periods of time. After a head trauma a

person may lack emotional responses such as smiling, laughing, crying, anger, or enthusiasm

or their responses may be inappropriate. This may be especially present during the earlier

stages of recovery. In some cases, neurological damage after a head trauma may cause

emotional volatility (intense mood swings or extreme reactions to everyday situations). Try

to change the person’s mood by agreeing with the person (if appropriate) and thus avoiding

an argument. Show extra affection and support to address underlying frustrations. The

person who has survived a head injury may lack empathy. That is, some head trauma

survivors have difficulty seeing things through someone else's eyes. The result can be

Page | 50

Page 51: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

thoughtless or hurtful remarks or unreasonable, demanding requests. This behavior stems

from a lack of abstract thinking. Head trauma survivors should be encouraged to develop

self-checks. Lack of awareness deficits is relatively common for a head injury survivor to be

unaware of his/her deficits. Remember that this is a part of the neurological damage and

not just obstinacies. After a head trauma, a person may experience either increased or

decreased interest in sex. The causes could be a result of brain regulation of hormonal

activity or an emotional response to the trauma.

In relation with the client, after being figured in a mining accident, part of his brain

was affected & had a traumatic brain injury which made him show the following

neuropsychological problems: poor concentration, personality changes and aggressive

behaviors.

UNIT III

B) RELATED LITERATURE

Page | 52

Page 53: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

According to Healthy Place (2007), in the paranoid form of this disorder, the sufferer

develops delusions of persecution or personal grandeur. The first signs of paranoid

schizophrenia usually surface between the ages of 15 and 34. There is no cure, but the

paranoid schizophrenia can be controlled with antipsychotic medications. Severe attacks

may require hospitalization. The essential feature of Paranoid Schizophrenia is

preoccupation with one or more systematized delusions or with frequent auditory

hallucinations related to a single theme. In addition, symptoms characteristic of the

Disorganized and Catatonic Types such as incoherence, flat or grossly inappropriate affect,

catatonic behavior, or grossly disorganized behavior, are absent. When all exacerbations of

the disorder meet the criteria for Paranoid Type, the clinician should specify "Stable Type".

Associated features of Paranoid Schizophrenia include unfocussed anxiety, anger,

argumentativeness, and violence. Often a stilted, formal quality or extreme intensity in

interpersonal interaction is noted. The impairment in functioning in Paranoid Schizophrenia

may be minimal if the delusional material is not acted upon. Onset tends to be later in life

than the other types, and the distinguishing characteristics may be more stable over time.

Some evidence suggests that the prognosis for the Paranoid Type, particularly with regard

to occupational functioning and capacity for independent living, may be considerably better

than for other types of schizophrenia.

The abovementioned study provided the information about the paranoid

schizophrenia and its manifestation regarding about the mental illness itself. It also gives us

information about essential feature that one person my experience if he/ she is candidate in

having this kind of mental illness.

Page | 53

Page 54: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

We highly agree on what Healthy Place mentioned or written about paranoid

schizophrenia that the range of age or the onset of this mental illness is 15 - 34 years old,

because our client manifest or the manifestation of mental illness is between the ages given

by the writers.

Since our client manifest the same manifestation written above, there is no reason

to disagree the literature given by the Healthy Place.

As a student nurse the greatest implication of this information, is that we can expand

our knowledge about the situation of our client, it can also help us in assessing the client

about the sign and symptoms of the mental illness.

Page | 54

Page 55: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Moreover, Thomas Hodge (2010) said that, paranoid schizophrenics tend to show a

history of increasing suspicions and a severe difficulty with interpersonal relationships.

Eventually, their thoughts are overwhelmed by absurd and illogical ideas and beliefs. These

illogical ideas are not simplistic in nature. Due the workings of the schizophrenic mind,

these conceptions are often highly elaborate in nature. The fears and irrational beliefs

contain more depth than the most elaborate suspense novel. They are highly organized with

depth, twists, and turns that develop a complex framework. Usually the schizophrenic is

being persecuted, chased, or in danger in this delusions. When a writer develops a fictional

story, he knows it is just a story. The schizophrenic does not know that his work of fiction is

fiction. He believes it. Delusions of grandeur are also common. Some may claim to be a

princess or a king or some great person. They usually invent imaginary characters in their

stories which they will carry on conversations with. With paranoid schizophrenics, an

amazing fact exists. Quite often, they are well put together. In their delusions, they are

being persecuted usually which will cause them to go to great lengths to hide their

delusions. Sometimes this makes them seem quite normal. The good news for a paranoid

schizophrenic is that treatments are always improving. Some schizophrenics have actually

accomplished quite a bit once they realized their condition. Some have actually managed to

control their delusions by sheer will.

The study mentioned on the writings of Thomas Hodge is that the ability to think in

this kind of mental illness is more negative point of view, also those people who suffer in

this kind of mental illness has more suspicious and has weak interpersonal relationship to

others. He also added that paranoid schizophrenia and its treatment are always improving.

Page | 55

Page 56: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

We agree in the part that the treatment for paranoid schizophrenia is still improving

although the illness itself has no cure. We also agree in part of writings that those client

suffer in this condition don’t know what is the difference between the reality and fantasy.

The greatest implication of the writing of Thomas Hodge in nursing profession is that

there is still a palliative treatment even though the hard fact is there is no treatment. It can

also give us information that this kind of mental illness, they have weak interpersonal

relationship to others and they are often suffering in delusions.

Page | 56

Page 57: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

According to P Jones et.al. (2010), although a genetic component in schizophrenia is

well established, it is likely that the contribution of genetic factors is not constant for all

cases. Several recent studies have found that the relatives of female or early onset

schizophrenic patients have an increased risk of schizophrenia, compared to relatives of

male or late onset cases. These hypotheses are tested in the current study.

The study mentioned above states that the genetic factor or through genes it can

transfer the paranoid schizophrenia and the other types of schizophrenia. That if there is

one of the family has schizophrenia more or less the other family members has a tendency

to have the same mental illness.

We agree on what P. Jones and her colleagues written because according to client

her uncle and his younger brother have the same mental illness he suffered. Therefore we

concluded that in runs through the blood of there family in having schizophrenia.

One its greatest implication on nursing profession is that through genes the mental

illness like schizophrenia can transfer. With the proper study it can help the nursing

profession to understand how the genetic factor of one person can transfer the mental

illness to other family members

Page | 57

Page 58: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Mayo Clinic staffs (2010) also mentioned that with paranoid schizophrenia, your

ability to think and function in daily life may be better than with other types of

schizophrenia. You may not have as many problems with memory, concentration or dulled

emotions. Still, paranoid schizophrenia is a serious, lifelong condition that can lead to many

complications, including suicidal behavior. But with effective treatment, you can manage the

symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and work toward leading a happier, healthier life.

The study abovementioned by Mayo Clinic Staffs states that without proper

treatment the paranoid schizophrenia will lead to more serious complication like attempting

to have suicide. It also stated that having this kind of mental illness your ability to thing is

slower and you will suffer in poor concentration to many things.

We agreed on what Mayo Clinic Staffs said about, that of all kinds of schizophrenia,

the paranoid is the most manageable one. They also stated the same symptoms manifested

by the client like having hallucinations and an attempt on suicide. With proper and effective

treatment, paranoid schizophrenic patients still have the great chance to have a normal life

they had before.

The implication of this writings to the nursing profession and to student nurses it can

help us to understand that those client suffer in this kind of condition is that they have poor

coping mechanism. It can also help us in terms of giving more attention and time in helping

the client to cope to external environment.

Page | 58

Page 59: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Furthermore, Nursing Crib (2008)they identify the symptoms of schizophrenia are

categorized into two major categories, the positive or hard symptoms which include

delusion, hallucinations, and grossly disorganized thinking, speech, and behavior,

and negative or soft symptoms as flat affect, lack of volition, and social withdrawal or

discomfort. Medication treatment can control the positive symptoms but frequently the

negative symptoms persist after positive symptoms have abated. The persistence of these

negative symptoms over time presents a major barrier to recovery and improved the

functioning of client’s daily life.

The studies gathered above provided information to increment the knowledge of the

readers about schizophrenia and its basic concept about the mental illness itself. This

research abovementioned tells the vital role of knowing the manifestations and treatment

that may use in client suffering this kind of condition.

We highly agree that there is two major categories that schizophrenic client may

experience because our client also suffer in the same kind of categories given. It also makes

us convince that this article is agreeable because the medication taking by our client only

treat the positive or hard symptoms.

The implication of this article to nursing profession is that we can understand what

are the classifications of schizophrenia and what are manifestation they shown. It also gives

information about the effect of medication and how it helps the schizophrenic client.

ORIENTATION PHASE DAY 3NOVEMBER 10, 20102:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M.MMW TENNIS COURT

I. OBJECTIVES:

a. Client-Centered Objective:

Setting the contract and discussing it thoroughly.

Obtain personal data.

Obtain some history from the past.

b. Nurse-Centered Objective:

Introduced ourselves to the patient.

Establish rapport

Remember and interpret verbal and non-verbal cues correctly.

II. DESCRIPTION OF SETTING

a. Describe the environment:

It was a cloudy afternoon, the sun does not shining directly and the wind

blows softly when we received Mr. A.M. from the male ward B, under the

supervision of our Clinical Instructor, Mrs. Nemia Calimbas. First, we assisted the

client in grooming his self. Afterwards, we walked with him and went to the tennis

court. There we prepared our chairs approximately 3-4 feet away in front away from

him. We started the conversation by greeting Mr. A.M. a pleasant afternoon and

introducing ourselves. We discussed the contract to him thoroughly, that he showed

interest on the days we will be together. The client started to give information when

we asked him about his personal data. As the conversation continues, we felt that

Mr. A.M. was comfortable talking to us. And as a positive result, we didn’t find it

hard having a good conversation with our client.

Page | 62

Page 63: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

b. Describe the nature, behavior, affect and mood of the client.

Mr. A.M. walking towards to us from his ward looks at ease, quiet and slightly

serious. He smiled and nodded on us when he was introduced to us by Mrs.

Calimbas. When we went to the grooming area, he saw other clients playing

chess. He said that he wanted to play chess, too.

The client fixed himself a very few assistance from us. He showed

independence on grooming his self.

While we are walking on our way to the tennis court, we noticed that our

client is relaxed and calmed. Our conversation started with him listening

attentively. Mr. A.M. answered our questions appropriately. He also displayed

the right affect on the situations we’d talked about.

The client showed trust on us by sharing a lot of essential information

regarding his past and his experiences before he was admitted. The conversation

flows smooth and substantial because Mr. A.M. talked with us freely. He trusted

us so then, he’s comfortable in sharing his story.

Mr. A.M. said that he only shared those issues of his life only to us, he didn’t

told those stories to the student nurses of the morning shift.

All throughout the time that he’s with us, we felt like Mr. A.M. had already

recovered from his disorder and it looked like we are talking to an individual with

good mental status.

C: Magandang hapon din.

(while walking on the way to the tennis court)

SN: Mang A.M. ako po si Riza at siya naman po si Joey, kami po ang mga student nurses niyo ngayong hapon. Galling po kami sa BPSU, Bataan Peninsuala State University po, sa Balanga. Isang buwan po tayong magkakasama, mula lunes po hanggang miyerkules. Ngaung lingo po tsaka sa susunod na lingo, twing hapon po tayo magkikita, bandang alas doa po ng hapon hanggang alas kwatro po.

C: Ah, nagyong linggo saka sa susunod na linggo pang-hapon tayo, tas sa susunod pang 2 linggong session natin umaga na?

SN: Opo Mang A.M. Ganun na nga po.

C: Kanina kasama ko yung Nickson, kilala nyu sya?

GIVING RECOGNITION

GIVING INFORMATION

Greeting the client shows that the nurse recognizes the client as a person, as an individual and at the same time, the student nurses were able to give respect to the client.

Includes giving the client right information on the things needed during the interaction therapy. It helps in establishing a trusting relationship with the client. Information given by the student nurses also sets the contract of the whole nurse-patient interaction. By this means, the client was able to understand when and where the interactions will happen.

SN: Opo, magka-batch po kami sa BPSU.

(at the tennis court)

SN: Mang A.M., andito po kami para makipagkwentuhan sainyo, para po makausap niyo.

C: Oo nga eh, naiinip ako, lagi lang akong natutulog sa ward.

SN: Maari po ba naming malaman ang inyong pangalan?

C: Ako si Mang A.M.

SN: Ilang taon na po kayo?

C: 41 na ako. Apat na taon na ko dito.

SN: Ganun po ba? San po ba kayo nakatira bago po kayo mapunta dito?

C: Taga Capaz, Tarlac ako pero laki ako sa Benguet.

SN: Alam niyo pub a kung saan kayo ipinanganak?

OFFERING SELF

ACCEPTING

It implies that the nurse offers presence, interest, and desire to understand. The client feels more comfortable having a conversation on a nurse who shows interest on what he/she’s saying. Offering self to the client also facilitates collaboration in performing tasks.

An accepting response indicates the nurse has heard, understood and is willing to listen on what the client wants to share. It makes conversation effective and meaningful. The student nurse was able to make Mr. A.M. to verbalize other information needed to understand his condition.

Page | 65

Page 66: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

C: Oo. Sa Isabela.

SN: OH kelan naman po ang birthday nyo?

C: Ah, January 21, 1969

SN: Mang A.M. ano po ba ang relihiyin ninyo?

C: Roman Catholic, pero dapat Jehovah’s Witnesses na ako. Hindi lang ako nabaptize kasi nga dinala ako dito.

SN: ah, katoliko po kayo dati tapos po lilipat dapat kayo sa saksi ni Jehovah, ganun po ba? Tama po ba ang intindi ko?

C: Oo, ganun na nga, kaso hindi ako natuloy.

SN: Naaalala niyo pub a kung nasaan kayo nung 1995?

C: 1995? Hindi na gaano. Nasa benguet pa ata ako noon. Oo nasa Benguet pa nga ako.

SN: Nasa Benguet po kayu nung 1995?

C: Oo.

CONSENSUAL VALIDATION

CLARIFYING

For verbal communication to be meaningful, it is essential that the words being used have the same meaning for both participants. Validating what was heard and understood must be clear for both student nurses and the client. Such, is to make the conversation meaningful, and to avoid misunderstandings or wrong information taken. At this way, the client was able to validate or not the information understood by the student nurses.

Helps the client clarify their own thoughts and maximizes mutual understanding between the nurse and the client.

Mr. A.M. . But we noticed that our client’s focus was on his first girlfriend. He stated

that he wanted to go home to see her girlfriend before his family. Mr. A.M. also told

us that he wanted to marry his girlfriend. As each issue opens the client always

included his girlfriend. He loves her so much, up to the point that the woman was

always on his mind until now.

Interaction Theme

Mr. A.M. answered our questions appropriately. He also displayed correct

affect on what we are talking about. The client knows and remembered his life

before he was admitted. Mr. A.M. also knew the exact dates when the important

events of his life occurred. He talked about lots of stories and experiences he had

before. So our first conversation with him came out very substantial.

The client appeared calmed and smiling when we received him from the

ward. When our conversation started, he showed interest and cooperation on us.

Mr. A.M. answered our questions appropriately. He also showed direct eye contact.

also appropriate in his affect and answered our questions directly. Mr. A.M. shared

stories about addiction, his love for his girlfriend and the issue that he picked his

father with a nail. The client remembered all the things that he’d talked about with

us. Mr. A.M. showed trust on us and made our conversation useful.

CONSENSUAL VALIDATION

REFLECTING

FOCUSING

ENCOURAGING PLAN OF ACTION

For verbal communication to be meaningful, it is essential that the words being used have the same meaning for both participants. Sometimes words, phrases, or slang terms have different meanings and can be easily misunderstood.

A client’s statement is redirected towards him through similar wording which makes him think about it again from another perspective.-Directs questions or feelings back to client so that they may be recognized and accepted.

The nurse encourages the client to concentrate his or her energies on a single point, which may prevent a multitude of factors or problems from overwhelming the client. It also a useful technique when a client jumps from one topic to another.

Allows the client to identify alternative actions for interpersonal situations. The client finds disturbing (when anger or anxiety is provoked).

IV. THEME IDENTIFICATION

Content Theme

The focus of our conversation after the biblio therapy was on Mr. A.M.’s

childhood experiences with his uncle and the diamond on his about to inherit. The

client told us that his head was cut-off and a diamond was put inside in his head

when he was 6 y/o. It is intended to make him intelligent and it was done by his own

uncle. He said that his spirit separated from his body, in that way he saw how his

head was cut-off. Mr. A.M. also remembered his grandfather in the part of the story

when Noe build the ark, because his grandfather was also the one who repaired

their house in Baguio.

Interaction Theme

During our interaction with the client after the therapy, he is not logical or in

sequence when he is telling us the story of the diamond on his head. He also did not

have concrete answer. The client changes his answer to a question when it is

repeated. His affect was also not that good, it is blunted.

Mood Theme

Mr. A.M was in good mood from the moment we received him from the ward

up to the time we brought him back there. His behavior was the same with our

previous interaction. The only thing changed is affect and his answers are not that

appropriate to the question we asked. Fortunately, the client participated actively in

the therapy.

V. NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Disturbed thought processes r/t psychological disorder as evidenced by non-reality

based thinking.

VI. NURSING INTERVENTION

Maintain a pleasant quiet environment & approach in a slow, calm manner. Give

simple direction, using shorts words & simple sentences. Listen with regards.

Present reality concisely and briefly. Do not challenge illogical thinking. Allow more

time for client to respond to question or comments. Clarify things to client especially

when they are in doubt of it.

VII.SUMMARY AND EVALUATION

The biblio therapy was successfully done that morning. Our client was

oriented & instructed clearly. Mr. A.M. watched and listened on the story

attentively. Afterwards, we evaluated our client’s understanding about the therapy.

He was able to recall the story and recognized the moral lesson for it. Mr. A.M. also

verbalized another story of his life, the diamond on his head. This started him to be

illogical in what he’s saying. His answers are inappropriate and he said things that

are impossible.

After therapy we noticed that Mr. A. M. in term of interpreting the finish product he has a still recall or remembers his family.

ASKING DIRECT QUESTIONS

EXPLORING

FOCUSING

MAKING OBSERVATIONS

The nurse asking direct questions, gains specific answers. It makes the client to answer the questions appropriately. He answers straight to the point and looks sincere.

It facilitates deeper conversation particularly on the stories that are very important for the client. In this way, the nurse gets more information about the client. He answered very significantly and interprets the picture with all his knowing.

The nurse encourages the client to concentrate on his or her energies on a single point, which may prevent a multitude of factors or problems from overwhelming the client. It also a useful technique when a client jumps from one topic to another. When we start to analyze his emotion towards the therapy done we’ve noticed that he has still full of hope that he and his family will reunite again but the facial expression he shown was not appropriate.

PRESENTING REALITY

INVOICING DOUBT

As we continue observing the clients reaction we noticed that he manifested some flight of ideas towards his past and it is very significant to us.

It makes the client know and face the reality. It also makes his words to have sense and his understanding enhanced. By this way, the nurse helps the client to distinguish the real things from not.To provide clearer information & to help the client give assurance on what he is saying. When we tell the reality to the client he still hallucinating about the experience according to him.

To provide clearer information and to help the client give assurance on what he is saying. When we asked the client about the “attachment ring” he answered very irrelevant that can make us convince that his mental illness was occurring.

ASKING OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS

GIVING INFORMATION

FOCUSING

Broad openings make explicit that the client has the lead in the interaction. For the client who is hesitant about talking, broad openings stimulate him or her to take the initiative.

Includes giving the client right information on the things needed during the interaction therapy.

The nurse encourages the client to concentrate his or her energies on a single point, which may prevent a multitude of factors or problems from overwhelming the client. It also a useful technique when a client jumps from one topic to another.

According to Maslows Hierarchy of needs, love and belongingness involves emotionally based relationships such as family. People need to love and be loved by others. Absence of this element may cause anxiety, loneliness and depression to the client. In

ENCOURAGING EVALUATION

EXPLORING

ASKING DIRECT QUESTIONS

relation to our client signifies lack of this need because of his condition.

Asking patient’s views of the meaning or importance of something/asking client to appraise the quality of his or her experience

Exploring can help them to examine the topic more fully. Any problem or concern can be better understood if explored in depth.

Asking direct questions to the client will merely assess the client’s capability to think, rationalize, and give answers to a specific question. According to Freud’s Psychosexual Theory, an adolescence age of 12 to 18 is in genital stage which they establishes relationship with the opposite sex, where they find gratifying work.

SN: ah.. ayos po pala..

C: para masaya, ( he laughs)

SN: Mang A.M. natatandaan po ba ninyo lahat ng natutunan ninyo sa amin?

C: oo. Ung mga therapy natin.

VALIDATING

ENCOURAGING A DESCRIPTION

HUMOR

And also he says that every stages must be fulfilled in order for the person to moved forward to another stage of development. Sexual development happens in each person on the same stage, the same way but some remain stagnant and some are moving forward.

For verbal communication to be meaningful, it is essential that the words being used have the same meaning for both participants. Sometimes words, phrases, or slang terms have different meanings and can be easily misunderstood.

To understand the client, the nurse must see things from his or her perspectives. Encouraging the client to describe ideas fully may relieve the tension the client is feeling, and he or she might be less likely to take actions on ideas that are harmful or frightening.

Harmless humor can reduce mild to moderate anxiety, gives perspective on life events and reduces social distance.

C: oo nga eh ( he laughs)

C: maraming salamat din.

SN: opo Mang A.M. , Paalam

REFLECTING

ACCEPTING

GIVING RECOGNITION

Reflections encourage the client to recognize and accept his or her own feelings. The nurse indicates that the client’s point of view has value, and that the client has the right to have options, make decisions and think independently.

An accepting response indicates the nurse has heard, understood and is willing to listen on what the client’s want to share. It makes conversation effective and meaningful.

Greeting the client by name, indicating awareness of change, or noting efforts the client has made all show that the nurse recognizes the client as a person, as an individual. Such recognition does not carry the value, that is, of being “good” or “bad”.

Si Noe at ang Dakilang baha

Narrator: Si Noe ay isang lalaking sumasamba sa Diyos. Ang bawat isa ay galit at suwail sa Diyos.

Isang araw, nagsabi ang Diyos ng mga ilang bagay na katakut- takot.

Diyos: Noe, makinig ka! Sisirain ko ang mga masasama sa mundo. Ang iyong sambahayan at ikaw lamang ang makakaligtas.

Noe: Panginoon, ano po ang dapat kong gawin?

Diyos: Magkakaroon ng malaking baha ng tubig sa ibabaw ng mundo. Gagawa ka ng daong na kahoy, malaking sasakyan para sa iyong sambahayan at maraming mga hayupan.

Narrator: Minanduhan ng Diyos si Noe. Binigyan si Noe ng tumpak na utos. Si Noe ay kumilos agad. Kinutya si Noe ng mga tao habang nagpapaliwanag kungbakit gumagawa ng daong o arko. Sinabi niya sa mga tao ang tungkol sa baha ngunit walng nakinig sa kanya.

Mga tao: Kalokohan! Paano babaha dito at ni minsan ay hindi pa naulan. Niloloko mo lamang kami. Hindi kami naniniwala sayo. Sinungaling!

Noe: Malaki ang tiwala ko sa Panginoon. Naniniwala ako sa kanyang pahayag kahit hindi pa naulan kahit kalian.

Narrator: Kaya’t sinunod ni Noe ang ipinag- utos ng Diyos. Gumawa siya ng malaking arko. Nang matapos na ito ay handa ng lagyan ng mga pangkailangan. Ngayon dumating ang iba’t ibang uri ng hayop. May mga ibon, may mga malalakin hayop, maliliit, at matatangkad. Ang lahat ng ito ay pumasok sa arko.

Pinagtawanan ng mga tao si Noe.

Mga tao: Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha haha haha haha! Ha ha!

Page | 148

Page 149: Comprehensive Case Study Paranoid Schizophrenia

Narrator: Hindi sila naniniwala tungkol sa mlakimg pagbaha kaya’t sila ay walang takot at pinagpatuloy ang kanilang masasamang Gawain. Ngayon lahat ng mga hayop at mga iboon ay nasa daong na, gayundin ang pamilya ni Noe. Si Noe, ang kanyang asawa, ang 3 anak na lalaki at ang kanilang mga asawa ay nagsipasok na sa arko. Sinara ng Diyos ang pintuan!

Pagkatapos ay biglang dumating ang ulan. Malakas na malakas ang ulan na bumaha ng bumaha sa ibabaw ng lupa. Nalunod ang mga taong hindi naniniwala kay Noe. Gusto man nilang pumasok sa arko ngunit huli na ang lahat. Bumaha sa lahat ng lungsod at nayon.

Mga Tao: Tulong! Tulungan niyo kami. Nagsisisi na kami sa mga nagawa naming kasalanan. Noe! Papasukin mo kami. Patawarin mo kami. Maawa na kayo. Tulong!

Narrator: Nang huminto ang ulan, ang mga kabundukan ay inapawan ng tubig. Habang palalim ang bahang tubig, lumutang ang daong sa ibabaw. Ang daong ang nakaligtas kay Noe at kanyang sambahayan sa malaking baha.

Nang matapos ang limang buwang baha, nagpadala ang Diyos ng pangtuyong hangin. Dahan- dahan, ang daong ay huminto sa ibabaw ng Bundok Ararat. Pinalabas ni Noe ang isang kalapati.

Noe: Humayo ka at humanap ng tuyong lupa upang ating pagdaungan.

Narrator: Hindi ito nakakita ng tuyong lupa kaya’t nagbalik ang kalapati. Nang dumaan ang 1 linggo, pinalabas muli ni Noe ang kalapati. Bumalik ito na may dalang dahon ng olibo sa kanyang tuka.

Noe: Kung gayon ay mayroong tuyong lupa! Salamat Panginoon!

Diyos: Ito na ang takdang panahon. Oras na upang umalis kayong lahat sa daong. Pagpalain ka Noe dahil sa iyong pagsunod at pagtitiwala sa akin.

Ang bahaghari na ito ay siyang sumisimbolo ng aking pangako. Hindi na muling magbabaha sa mundo upang parusahan ang mga may kasalanan.

Noe: Purihin ang Panginoon! Diyos na dakila sa lahat. Maraming salmat po at iniligtas ninyo kami sa kapahamakan.

Narrator: Gumawa si Noe ng altar at sumamba sa Diyos na nagligtas sa kanya at sa kanyanh sambahayan sa malaking baha ng tubig. Si Noe at ang kanyang pamilya ay nakahanap muli ng bagong pamumuhay pagkatapos ng dakilang baha.

inside his head by his own uncle. The client was able to analyze the story &

comprehended well on it; but at the end of our interaction, he possessed flight of ideas,

ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

The client back to the ward earlier because he’s formed a reaction after the first

therapy, so he didn’t attend the song therapy.

But on the performance of the song on the grand socialization day, he can follow the

song and the steps done by the student nurses and the other clients.
