practicing psychologically informed healthcare
Long-term health conditions (LTCs) affect one-third of the global population and are associated with a heightened risk of depression, anxiety, medically related post-traumatic stress, and diminished life satisfaction and self-esteem. Further, healthcare professionals face occupational challenges to their emotional health and well-being, which can result in burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma, negatively impacting on patient care. Yet, current healthcare policy and practice poorly address psychological and emotional well-being, for patients or practitioners. Beyond the Medical Gaze: Psychologically Informed Healthcare provides an innovative and comprehensive framework for anyone working in healthcare practice, policy, or education, grounded in the latest evidence base and the author's unique lifelong experiences, health advocacy, research, and psychology practice. The book also provides insights for anyone living with a long term condition to empower wellbeing. Psychologically informed healthcare embeds contemporary understanding in psychological and emotional health into healthcare practice grounded in the core principles of R.E.S.P.E.C.T.: outlining the importance of Relational safety through compassion-focused healthcare delivery, leadership and teams; Empowerment by supporting self-management and healthcare literacy, and by challenging disempowering aspects of healthcare; promoting the Soothing presence of caregivers across the healthcare journey; promoting Psychological safety by validating a normal response to adverse circumstances, incorporating coping strategies and supporting healthcare staff; developing Environments that better support healing, recovery, rest, and well-being; ensuring Culturally sensitive healthcare provision that tackles ableism, recognizing health inequalities and intersectionality; and delivery of Trauma-informed practice and environments. Reflective exercises, real-life testimonials, case studies, examples of innovative practice and research, and handouts are incorporated throughout. A final chapter is provided for therapists working with people with LTCs or supporting healthcare teams.
