How to perform manic care?
In addition to being grumpy, cursing, hitting. There are also hypersexual manic patients, who often chase the opposite sex or get naked. Therefore, family members must take good care of the patient. Patients with obvious sexual colors should not go out, especially those who cannot go out alone. Here, I would like to remind everyone that the impulsiveness of the patient is a morbid behavior, so family members must not use scolding, corporal punishment or binding to restrain the patient, otherwise the patient's condition will not be effectively controlled, and it may aggravate the patient. mania, hostility, etc.
- Assist the patient to participate in some constructive activities: often assist the patient to participate in physical exercise to vent excess energy in the body. Manic patients are energetic, anxious, have weak self-control, are easily irritable, and often do some destructive behaviors to vent their physical and psychological irritability. Therefore, nursing staff must guide patients to participate in activities that do not require concentration, achieve disease control through work and recreational activities, such as running, playing ball, or cleaning floors, and give patients affirmation and encouragement. If the patient's excitement is too high, it is not necessary to completely restrict their activities, and let the patient clean up the house, clean the house, grow flowers and vegetables at home. It can also vent the patient's energy and physical strength, give the patient a treatment with drugs, and ensure that the patient has enough sleep.
- Do a good job in daily life care: Manic patients should do a good job of daily nutritional supply, ensure adequate sleep, and do a good job of personal hygiene. Some patients, because of their work, may be disdainful of doing things they think are meaningless. Therefore, nurses must take the initiative to supplement nutrition for patients, eat less and eat more meals, and ensure the supply of nutrients. Reasonable arrangement of diet, sleep and rest, manic patients often suffer from insomnia, mainly manifested as difficulty falling asleep, always worried and anxious before going to bed. At this time, family members should accompany the patient, comfort and persuade the patient carefully, increase the patient's sense of security, relieve their anxiety, and help them sleep. Guide more patients to pay attention to their own hygiene and wear appropriate clothes on appropriate occasions.
Improve the patient's personal accomplishment: During the mania episode, the patient is in an uncontrollable state. However, if the patient pays attention to improving personal accomplishment in daily life, learns to do things calmly, and keeps a share. Peace of mind can also effectively regulate manic episodes and relieve the condition.
Psychological care: Manic patients are often narrow-minded, and everything is accumulated psychologically. On the surface, they don't seem to care about anything and don't fight for it, but when something happens, they lose their temper and get angry. Therefore, when encountering anything in life, we should persuade the patient to relax and not to divert the topic.
