Utilization of the concept of Basal stimulation in the nursing process for apallic syndrome.
MÁŠOVÁ, Renata
The topic of this diploma paper is ``The Use of the Basal Stimulation Concept in Nursing Provided to Apalic Syndrome Patients{\crqq}. I have chosen this topic because I took part in a basal stimulation course and in order to describe the use of this concept in nursing. Basal stimulation is a programme for nursing. Thanks to its scientific basis and empathetic approach, basal stimulation is acquiring more and more sympathizers among nurses as well as physicians. It is a complex of nursing methods based on the use of appropriate stimuli instigating neural complexes. It has been proven that such impulses contribute to the regeneration of engrammes and facilitate overall rehabilitation of the patient. The concept of basal stimulation helps after craniocerebral injuries, cerebrovascular accidents, in comatose conditions and in apalic syndrome. The paper is divided into two sections. The first one is theoretical and it deals with the apalic syndrome and provides a detailed description of the basal stimulation concept. The other section, a practical one, provides the descriptions of individual case reports with a nursing plan based on the basal stimulation concept. The effects of this concept are assessed according to observations and questioning of nursing staff and family members. The observation of patients with the apalic syndrome has led us to conclude that the basal stimulation concept has very pleasing effects on the patients. This method has been incorporated into everyday nursing process and it should become a common standard in nursing. Frequently, the health state of such clients is stabilized for a long time and the prognosis is not favourable; the prevention of potential complications is mostly at play here. This scientific method has positive effects on such patients as seen by nursing staff as well as family members. It maintains the patient{\crq}s comfort, individual approach and a holistic being. The care for these seriously ill people is very physically and mentally demanding at common wards. Therefore, we think that it is necessary to establish specialized apalic units where such patients would receive individual care based on the basal stimulation concept. This care is practicable as much as possible in cooperation with family members and nursing staff providing all possible aids and background.
