[Quality and identity of terminal care in the hospital exemplified by the SPES VIVA Palliative Project].

In an attempt to contribute to the improvement of fatally ill and dying patients in hospitals, the palliative care project SPES VIVA represents a model scheme by a care concept of contents, personal and spatial definitions [3]. In order to receive an indirect expert verification of success, doctors and nurses of our hospital and of another one were interrogated during the same period. Although we know of the problems inherent in the method, a total of 158 voluntar participants in the study enabled US to compare the results of a preceding poll by W. George et al. of 1988 [2] to prove at least some effects. The SPES VIVA work enhanced the identification of the employed with their work and gave us hints on how to improve the situation of dying patients in our hospital. In comparison with the group of doctors, nurses more often tend to see "too many life-prolongation measures".

[Coping strategies of mothers and fathers with a first- or second-born mentally handicapped child].

In 25 families with two children and one child with mental retardation, differences in coping between mothers and fathers were studied, taking into consideration the ordinal position of the handicapped child. Mothers showed more emotional stress, more self-criticism, searched more for social support and experienced more "up and down" in the process of adaptation. If the first child was handicapped mothers coped more by "mastery" than mothers of a second born handicapped child and more by "expression" than fathers.

Adaptation, Psychological↗

[Concurrent and predictive correlations between emotions and cardiovascular and metabolic parameters in patients with myocardial infarct].

Amongst 86 patients with myocardial infarction, during their stay in a rehabilitation clinic, emotions (Gottschalk-Gleser speech content analysis), assessed at the beginning of the treatment, and cardiovascular (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and reactivity during physical stress, performance) and metabolic parameters (triglycerides, HDL- and LDL-cholesterin, cholesterin/HDL, uric acid) assessed at the beginning (concurrent) and end (predictive) of the treatment, are examined. The emotion-factors "dejection" (anger in, shame and death anxiety) and "aggression" (anger out-open, anger out-hidden and ambivalent aggression) show the following association with the biological factors in stepwise regression analysis, taking into account age, body-mass-index, smoking and drugs: dejection is concurrent associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure and lower HDL-cholesterin and predictive with lower uric acid, lower HDL-cholesterin and higher cholesterin/HDL. Aggression corresponds predictive with higher pulse rate and higher reactivity during physical stress, lower HDL-cholesterin and higher cholesterin/HDL.
