THE ROLE OF NURSE IN THE THERAPY TEAM IN THE PATIENT WITH DEPRESIVE DISORDER

Depresija je biopsihosocijalni poremećaj. Za bolesnika osobno, ali i s javnozdravstvenog stajališta predstavlja značajan problem. Veliki skup simptoma kojima se odražava bitno narušava cjelokupno ljudsko funkcioniranje. Javlja se u mnogim kliničkim oblicima prema kojima se određuje način liječenja. Liječenje je poprilično uspješno, a podrazumijeva holistički pristup. U terapijskom timu, kod depresivnog bolesnka, značajnu ulogu ima medicinska sestra. Njena uloga započinje već u trenutku prijema bolesnika, a o kvaliteti tog prijema mnogo ovisi hoće li se razviti povjerenje i empatija, te hoće li sestra uspjeti stvoriti lječidbeno ozračje. Nadalje, sestra svakodnevno provodi i fizičku i psihičku zdravstvenu njegu bolesnika, a tijekom nje observira, evidentira te prenosi drugim članovima tima podatke o bolesnikovu ponašanju i sudjelovanju u aktivnostima na odjelu. Značajna je njezina uloga i u međuljudskim odnosima. U prvom redu u odnosima između sebe i bolesnika. Zatim, kao zagovornice bolesnikovih potreba, u odnosima između bolesnika i ostatka terapijskog tima. U odnosima bolesnika s ostalim pacijetima, te u konačnici u odnosima bolesnika s njegovim bližnjima. Dakle, iz određene perspektive temeljna uloga medicinske sestre u terapijskom timu kod depresivnog bolesnika je ujedinjavanje svih aspekata medicinske skrbi. Depression is a biopsychosocial disorder.
