Authors: Pokroy Raylene , Mayer Aliza , Stuart Anita D , Pretorius H Gertie
Published: August 2012

The goal of the research was to determine whether people suffering from lrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), differ from non-Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers in terms of their coping styles and defense mechanisms. The research project was divided into two studies, namely: the first studied coping styles used by lrritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers and the second study focused on the defense mechanisms of the same group. The sample consisted of 30 white women between the ages of 25 and 55 years, diagnosed with lrritable Bowel Syndrome. A control group, consisting of 30 same-aged white women was also studied studied. The results show a significant difference between the lrritable Bowel Syndrome group and the non-Irritable Bowel Syndrome group as measured by the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), the Defense Mechanisms lnventory (DMI) and the Coping perations Preference Enquiry (COPE). The implicati&s of these studies may be of great value in the non-pharmacological management or control of lrritable Bowel Syndrome. Possible directions for future research are proposed.OpsommingDie doel van die navorsing was om vas te stel of mense wat aan Prikkelbare Dermsindroom (PDS) ly, verskil van nie-Prikkelbare Dermsindroom lyers in terme van hulle hanteringsmeganismes en verdedigingsmeganismes.

Die steekproef het bestaan uit 30 wit vrouens tussen die ouderdomme van 25 en 55 jaar wat gediagnoseer is met Prikkelbare Dermsindroom. 'n Kontrolegroep, bestaande uit 30 wit vrouens in dieselfde ouderdomsgroep, is ook bestudeer.

Hierdie navorsing kan as kwantitatiewe navorsing geklassifiseer word, Data in hierdie beskrywende opnamenavorsing is deur mJddel van n vraelys ingesamel, Die navorsing is beperk tot geregistreerde verpleegkundiges in 'n akademiese hospitaal in Gauteng wat werksaam is in afdelings waar pasiente oomag, Aile geregistreerde verpleegkundiges wat aan hierdie vereiste voldoen het, het deel uitgemaak van die populasie, Hierdie metode het verseker dat respondente van al die kultuurgroepe wat in die hospitaal verteenwoordig is ingesluit is. 'n Totaal van 219 geregistreerde verpleegkundiges het vraelyste ontvang. Geen bestaande raelys was beskikbaar nie en die vraelys is deur die navorser ontwikkel. Die vraelys bestaan uit vyf afdelings wat biografiese besonderf7ede, vrae rakende respondente se basiese en na-registrasie opleiding, vrae oor professionele ondervinding, vrae oor respondente se houdings jeens kultureelverskillende pasiente en probleme in transkulturele verpleging insluil. Die verwerking van die data is gedoen met behulp van 'n program wat volgens die SAS-stelsel (Statistical Analysis System) v: 6. 09 geskryf is. Daar is verder ook gebruik gemaak van die UNIX-stelsel vir die ontieding van enkele vrae. Data is verder verwerk met behulp van 'n variansie-analise (ANOVA SS). Die bevindings van hierdie studie dui daarop dat verpleegkundiges wat kultureel-verskillende pasiente verpleeg baie algemene ervarings en probleme deel, Alhoewel hulle dit as 'n uitdaging sien om pasiente van verskillende kulture te verpleeg, is daar gevind dat hulle nie oor die nodige kennis beskik om kultuursensitiewe sorg te verskaf nie. Ander faktore soos die verpleegkundige se houding jeens kultureel-verskillende pasiente, probleme met kommunikasie, wantroue en vooroordeel dra by tot die gebrek aan kultuursensitiewe sorgo Die verpleegprofessie moet aan hierdie probleme aandag gee. Die verpleegprofessie sowel as die hospitaalowerhede het 'n verantwoordelikheid teenoor die lede, werknemers en die pasiente om verpleegkundiges toe te rus met die vaardighede en kennis wat hulle benodig om kultuursensitiewe sorg te verskaf. Probleme wat geldentifiseer is moet aangespreek word en hospitale moet poog om unieke probleme te identifiseer en op te los.

Authors: Bush C. M. , Pretorius H. G. , Stuart A. D.
Published: August 2012

The aim of this study was to ascertain the effects of a holistic short-term group intervention in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (/BS) with comorbid depression and anxiety. The sample consisted of 24 South African women who had been diagnosed with severe IBS. Furthermore, each participant had to have associated moderate to severe depression and anxiety. The group design was a pre-test, post-test control group design where the experimental group (n = 12) received group intervention and the members of the control group (n = 12) received no intervention until after completion of the research. All the participants completed the Functional Bowel Disorder Severity Index and the Depression and Anxiety subscales of the Personality Assessment Inventory before commencement of group therapy for Group 1 and one month after completion of this intervention. The effect of the intervention was determined by utilising comparative statistics. The findings indicate that holistic short-term group therapy results in significant improvement in terms of depreSSion and anxiety scores, but that IBS symptom severity remains unchanged. It is recommended that further research be conducted to ascertain whether holistic group therapy of a longer duration has a greater impact on the IBS symptom severity.
