Use of art therapy with post-traumatic stress disordered veteran clients.

1. The post-traumatic stress disordered veteran client may exhibit a cluster of problematic behaviors that are integral to current maladaptive coping patterns. 2. These coping patterns can be successfully addressed through a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach that emphasizes client-controlled expression of emotions and client-focused step-by-step behavior modification. 3. Art therapy and nursing, in a collaborative approach, can facilitate individual and group interventions that promote expression of feelings, congruency between experience and self-concept, and feelings of effectiveness in behavioral change.

A research review: family caregivers of chronically ill African-American elderly.

1. The African-American elderly population continues to have higher incidence of specific chronic illnesses. 2. The African-American caregiver plays an integral part in maintaining the chronically ill elderly in the home setting. 3. Available research has indicated important differences in how African-Americans cope with caregiving that may assist the nurse in better understanding of these caregiving families. 4. As a result of limited research, African-American caregivers are a rich, largely untapped resource that deserves careful study toward improved elderly care.

Environmental context of caregiving for severely mentally ill adults: an African American experience.

Most people with severe mental illness depend on family to provide care. Although an increasing amount of research has examined caregiving, there is much to be discovered about the caregiving experience of African American families. This ethnographic study reports findings from 16 African American caregivers, presenting a picture of how they navigate through their environment to meet the needs of caregiving. Formal resource selection and use, and perceived barriers to and facilitators of care within an urban environment, are discussed. The impact of the African American community's perception of mental illness on caregiving and involvement in policy change also is discussed.
