How do you establish who will do well with pain management?
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
Some people just won’t do well with pain management. In just the same way as a surgeon selects good candidates for surgery, so people need to be selected for self management. Although there is some truth that getting even a little pain management is good for everyone, the cost of doing so in staff energy [...]... Read more »

Bouncing back – resilience
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
After looking at positive coping in my post from yesterday, I hoped to bring an assessment to light – and lo and behold I found one!
This brief assessment differs from other resilience measures in that it looks at recovery, resistance, growth and adaptation rather than simply the resources a person might bring into a stressful [...]... Read more »

Accentuate the positive
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
How often do we spend most of our assessment time looking at people’s problems, deficits, functional difficulties? I know that much of my time in assessment involves looking across a range of domains and experiences – and whooops! by the time we come to an end I’ve hardly looked at what this person has [...]...

Resilience revisited
by Jan Husdal in Supply Chain Risk Research & Literature Review
How many ways are there for defining vulnerability and criticality, really? Traditionally, risk matrixes have a likelihood/impact approach, but not always. Yesterday, I was examining a criticality/vulnerability matrix. Today, I will take a closer look at a criticality/preparedness matrix with a third susceptibility dimension added to it, as presented in the New Zealand research project [...]... Read more »

Someone who lives well - with chronic pain
by Adiemusfree in Healthskills: Skills for Healthy Living
Pete (not his real name) has long-standing pain. He has ankylosing spondylitis involving especially his sacro-iliac joints, and often his intercostals, making it difficult to take a deep breath. He’s in his mid-40’s, and he’s had his diagnosis for just over 20 years. He takes a cocktail of anti-inflammatories, with omeprazole to counter [...]... Read more »
