Zaburzenia osobowości
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Zaburzenia osobowości to trwałe, wszechogarniające wzorce myślenia, emocji i zachowań, które znacząco upośledzają funkcjonowanie społeczne, zawodowe i interpersonalne. Występują u około 9% populacji, często współistniejąc z innymi zaburzeniami psychicznymi. Klasyfikowane są w trzy klastry: A (paranoidalne, schizoidalne, schizotypowe), B (antyspołeczne, borderline, histrioniczne, narcystyczne) oraz C (unikające, zależne, obsesyjno-kompulsyjne). Patofizjologia obejmuje czynniki genetyczne, neurobiologiczne (dysregulacja serotoniny i dopaminy) oraz środowiskowe, w tym traumatyczne doświadczenia z dzieciństwa. Diagnoza opiera się na kryteriach DSM-5-TR, wymagających obecności trwałych wzorców zaburzających co najmniej dwa obszary funkcjonowania (myśli, uczucia, kontrola impulsów, relacje interpersonalne).

Zaburzenia osobowości – charakterystyka

Zaburzenia osobowości są złożonymi i wszechobecnymi zaburzeniami zdrowia psychicznego, które znacząco wpływają na myśli, emocje i zachowania osoby, zaburzając jej zdolność do efektywnego funkcjonowania w codziennym życiu1. Są one charakteryzowane przez długotrwałe, wszechogarniające i zakłócające wzorce myślenia, zachowania, nastroju oraz relacji z innymi2. Te wzorce powodują znaczny niepokój i/lub upośledzają zdolność osoby do funkcjonowania w różnych aspektach życia, w tym w pracy, relacjach i funkcjonowaniu społecznym3.

Badania naukowe wykazały, że około 9% Amerykanów cierpi na zaburzenia osobowości4. Duża część tej populacji ma również jedno lub więcej innych zaburzeń zdrowia psychicznego5. Zaburzenia osobowości mogą powodować zniekształcone postrzeganie rzeczywistości, nieprawidłowe zachowania i cierpienie w różnych aspektach życia6. Co istotne, osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości często nie zdają sobie sprawy z tego, że ich myśli i zachowania są problematyczne lub mają negatywny wpływ na innych7.

Osobowość jednostki jest uważana za niezdrową i klasyfikowana jako zaburzenie, gdy wpływa na jej relacje interpersonalne i powoduje upośledzenie funkcjonowania w obszarach społecznych, zawodowych lub innych ważnych dziedzinach życia8. Zaburzenia osobowości często ujawniają się w późnej adolescencji lub wczesnej dorosłości, ale niektóre osoby mogą wykazywać oznaki już w dzieciństwie9.

Klasyfikacja zaburzeń osobowości

Zaburzenia osobowości są grupowane w trzy klastry w oparciu o podobne cechy kliniczne10:

  • Klaster A (Zaburzenia dziwaczne lub ekscentryczne): Obejmuje osobowość paranoidalną, schizoidalną i schizotypową11. Osoby te często wydają się dziwne lub ekscentryczne12.
  • Klaster B (Zaburzenia dramatyczne, emocjonalne lub nieobliczalne): Obejmuje osobowość antyspołeczną, borderline, histrioniczną i narcystyczną13. Charakteryzuje się nieprzewidywalnym myśleniem lub zachowaniami, skrajnymi emocjami i zachowaniami uważanymi za nadmiernie dramatyczne, emocjonalne lub gwałtowne w porównaniu z oczekiwanymi zachowaniami14.
  • Klaster C (Zaburzenia lękowe lub bojaźliwe): Obejmuje osobowość unikającą, zależną i obsesyjno-kompulsyjną15. Charakteryzuje się lękowym myśleniem lub zachowaniami16.

Etiologia zaburzeń osobowości

Dokładna patofizjologia zaburzeń osobowości nie jest w pełni zrozumiała, ale uważa się, że obejmuje kombinację czynników genetycznych, biologicznych i środowiskowych17:

  • Predyspozycje genetyczne odgrywają rolę w rozwoju zaburzeń osobowości. Osoby z rodzinną historią zaburzeń osobowości mogą być w grupie wyższego ryzyka, co sugeruje komponent genetyczny18.
  • Niekorzystne doświadczenia z dzieciństwa (ACEs) we wczesnym dzieciństwie, takie jak trauma, zaniedbanie lub niespójna opieka, mogą przyczyniać się do rozwoju zaburzeń osobowości19.
  • Nieprawidłowości w układach neuroprzekaźnikowych, takich jak serotonina i dopamina, zostały powiązane z zaburzeniami osobowości. Dysregulacja neurobiologiczna może przyczyniać się do niestabilności nastroju, impulsywności i innych objawów związanych z niektórymi zaburzeniami osobowości20.
  • Przewlekłe narażenie na stresory środowiskowe, w tym problemy społeczno-ekonomiczne, konflikty interpersonalne lub przemiany życiowe, może przyczyniać się do manifestacji zaburzeń osobowości21.

Diagnostyka i objawy zaburzeń osobowości

Diagnozowanie zaburzeń osobowości może być trudne, ponieważ większość osób z zaburzeniami osobowości nie uważa, że jest problem z ich zachowaniem lub sposobem myślenia22. Pacjenci z niektórymi typami zaburzeń osobowości nie wykazują wglądu w swój stan i jest mało prawdopodobne, że będą szukać leczenia. Często pozostają niezdiagnozowani, chyba że szukają leczenia z powodu innej diagnozy psychiatrycznej lub medycznej23.

Według DSM-5-TR, kryteria diagnostyczne dla zaburzeń osobowości to „trwały” wzorzec wewnętrznych doświadczeń i zachowań, który manifestuje się w dwóch lub więcej obszarach (myśli, uczucia, kontrola impulsów i relacje interpersonalne)24. Ten wzorzec zachowania znacznie odbiega od norm kulturowych lub oczekiwań, jest wszechobecny i nieelastyczny, jest stabilny w czasie lub prowadzi do cierpienia lub upośledzenia dla danej osoby25.

Diagnozę można określić poprzez połączenie badania fizykalnego, oceny psychiatrycznej i zastosowanie kryteriów diagnostycznych zawartych w DSM-5-TR26. Diagnozowanie zaburzeń osobowości może być trudne, ponieważ wiele z nich nakłada się na siebie27.

Opieka pielęgniarska nad pacjentem z zaburzeniem osobowości

Jako pielęgniarki, zrozumienie i rozpoznawanie zaburzeń osobowości są istotnymi elementami zapewnienia holistycznej i skoncentrowanej na pacjencie opieki40. Plan opieki pielęgniarskiej różni się w zależności od rodzaju zaburzenia osobowości, jego nasilenia i sytuacji życiowej41. Konieczna jest interwencja oparta na współpracy, aby upewnić się, że wszystkie społeczne, medyczne i psychiatryczne potrzeby pacjenta są zaspokojone42.

Ocena pielęgniarska

Ocena pielęgniarska obejmuje wywiad z pacjentem, obserwację zachowań werbalnych i niewerbalnych, przeprowadzenie badania stanu psychicznego oraz wykonanie oceny psychospołecznej43. Pielęgniarki powinny zwrócić szczególną uwagę na następujące obszary:

  • Obserwacja i dokumentowanie zachowania pacjenta, w tym wzorców interakcji z innymi, reakcji na stres i odpowiedzi na bodźce środowiskowe44.
  • Ocena jakości relacji interpersonalnych, zarówno przeszłych, jak i obecnych, aby zrozumieć, jak dana osoba wchodzi w interakcje z rodziną, przyjaciółmi i rówieśnikami45.
  • Ocena zdolności danej osoby do regulowania emocji i radzenia sobie z emocjonalnym cierpieniem46.
  • Ocena samooceny, postrzegania siebie i tożsamości47.
  • Identyfikacja mechanizmów radzenia sobie używanych przez daną osobę do radzenia sobie ze stresem i wyzwaniami48.
  • Pytanie o historię traumatycznych zdarzeń, zaniedbania lub niekorzystnych doświadczeń z dzieciństwa49.
  • Ocena wpływu cech zaburzenia osobowości na codzienne funkcjonowanie, w tym pracę, szkołę i samodzielną opiekę50.

Diagnozy pielęgniarskie

Pielęgniarki tworzą zindywidualizowane plany opieki pielęgniarskiej w oparciu o reakcję pacjenta na ich zaburzenie(a) zdrowia psychicznego51. Typowe diagnozy pielęgniarskie związane z klastrami zaburzeń osobowości obejmują:

  • Klaster A: Izolacja społeczna, Zaburzony proces myślowy, Ryzyko samotności5253.
  • Klaster B: Ryzyko samobójstwa, Ryzyko przemocy skierowanej na siebie, Izolacja społeczna, Chroniczna niska samoocena, Nieskuteczne radzenie sobie5455.
  • Klaster C: Lęk, Ryzyko samotności, Izolacja społeczna5657.

Inne powszechne diagnozy pielęgniarskie dla osób z zaburzeniami osobowości obejmują:

  • Zaburzone interakcje społeczne58
  • Nieskuteczne radzenie sobie59
  • Ryzyko przemocy skierowanej na innych60
  • Ryzyko samookaleczenia61

Cele i oczekiwane wyniki

Cele planu opieki pielęgniarskiej dla osób z zaburzeniami osobowości mogą obejmować62:

  • Pacjent będzie wolny od samookaleczenia63.
  • Pacjent będzie uczestniczył w treningu kontroli impulsów64.
  • Pacjent będzie uczestniczył w treningu umiejętności radzenia sobie65.
  • Pacjent będzie szukał pomocy, gdy doświadcza autodestrukcyjnych impulsów66.
  • Pacjent będzie omawiał alternatywne sposoby, w jakie może sprostać wymaganiom aktualnej sytuacji67.
  • Pacjent będzie bezpieczny i wolny od znaczących urazów68.
  • Pacjent nie będzie krzywdził innych ani niszczył mienia69.
  • Pacjent będzie demonstrował zwiększoną kontrolę zachowań impulsywnych70.
  • Pacjent podejmie odpowiednie kroki, aby zaspokoić swoje własne potrzeby71.
  • Pacjent będzie demonstrował umiejętności rozwiązywania problemów72.
  • Pacjent będzie werbalnie wyrażał większą satysfakcję z relacji73.

Interwencje pielęgniarskie

Osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości często wymagają długoterminowej psychoterapii74. Główne interwencje pielęgniarskie obejmują:

  1. Promocja bezpieczeństwa pacjenta i zapobieganie przemocy skierowanej na siebie75:
    • Ocena historii samookaleczenia pacjenta, w tym rodzaje samookaleczających zachowań, częstotliwość zachowań i stresory poprzedzające zachowanie76.
    • Identyfikacja uczuć doświadczanych przed i podczas aktu samookaleczenia77.
    • Opracowanie planu identyfikującego alternatywy dla zachowań samookaleczających78.
    • Ocena potencjału samobójczego i dokumentowanie ocen w dokumentacji medycznej przy każdej wizycie79.
  2. Budowanie relacji terapeutycznej:
    • Ustanowienie zaufania jest ważnym aspektem całej opieki nad pacjentem, szczególnie w przypadku opieki nad pacjentami z zaburzeniami zdrowia psychicznego80.
    • Relacja oparta na zaufaniu sprzyja poczuciu bezpieczeństwa, zmniejsza lęk i umożliwia pacjentowi otwarte mówienie o przeszłych traumach81.
    • Pielęgniarka musi zawsze poważnie traktować ideację samobójczą z obecnością planu, dostępem do środków do realizacji planu oraz zachowaniami autodestrukcyjnymi i wprowadzać odpowiednie interwencje82.
  3. Ustanawianie granic w relacjach:
    • Niezależnie od otoczenia klinicznego, pielęgniarka musi zapewnić strukturę i wyznaczanie granic w relacji terapeutycznej; w otoczeniu klinicznym może to oznaczać spotykanie się z pacjentem na zaplanowane spotkania o z góry określonej długości, a nie kiedykolwiek pacjent się pojawi i domaga się natychmiastowej uwagi pielęgniarki83.
    • Pielęgniarka musi być bardzo jasna co do ustanowienia granic relacji terapeutycznej, aby zapewnić, że ani granice pacjenta, ani pielęgniarki nie są naruszane84.
    • Jasne granice i limity powinny być ustalane i konsekwentnie wzmacniane przez zespół opieki zdrowotnej85.
    • Gdy obserwowane jest manipulacyjne lub nieakceptowalne zachowanie, pielęgniarka musi natychmiast zareagować i interweniować86.
  4. Nauczanie efektywnej komunikacji:
    • Ważne jest, aby nauczyć podstawowych umiejętności komunikacji, takich jak kontakt wzrokowy, aktywne słuchanie, naprzemienne mówienie, weryfikacja znaczenia komunikacji drugiej osoby i używanie stwierdzeń „ja”87.
    • Pielęgniarka może pomóc pacjentom w identyfikacji ich uczuć i nauczyć się je tolerować bez przesadnych reakcji, takich jak niszczenie mienia lub samookaleczenie; prowadzenie dziennika często pomaga pacjentom zdobyć świadomość uczuć88.
  5. Pomoc w umiejętnościach radzenia sobie i kontrolowaniu emocji:
    • Restrukturyzacja poznawcza jest techniką przydatną w zmianie wzorców myślenia, pomagając pacjentom w rozpoznawaniu negatywnych myśli i uczuć oraz zastępowaniu ich pozytywnymi wzorcami myślenia; zatrzymywanie myśli jest techniką zmiany procesu negatywnych lub samokrytycznych wzorców myślenia89.
    • Pielęgniarka może pomóc pacjentowi w identyfikacji sytuacji i emocji, które wyzwalają chęć samookaleczenia90.
    • Zapewnienie pozytywnych wzmocnień dla akceptowalnych zachowań radzenia sobie utrzyma pacjenta zmotywowanego do powtarzania odpowiednich zachowań91.
  6. Strukturyzacja codziennych czynności życiowych:
    • Minimalizowanie nieustrukturyzowanego czasu poprzez planowanie aktywności może pomóc pacjentom w radzeniu sobie z czasem spędzanym samotnie; pacjenci mogą stworzyć pisemny harmonogram, który obejmuje spotkania, zakupy, czytanie gazety i spacery92.
    • Uczenie umiejętności samoobsługi i strategii radzenia sobie jest pomocne dla osób z zaburzeniami osobowości i ich bliskich93.

Leczenie zaburzeń osobowości

Zaburzenia osobowości są jednymi z najtrudniejszych zaburzeń do leczenia w psychiatrii. Wynika to głównie z faktu, że osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości nie uważają, że ich zachowanie jest problematyczne, więc często nie szukają leczenia94. Jednak psychoterapia (terapia rozmową) może pomóc w zarządzaniu zaburzeniami osobowości95.

Psychoterapia

Psychoterapia jest pierwszą linią leczenia zaburzeń osobowości9697. Jest to termin odnoszący się do różnych technik leczenia, które mają na celu pomóc w identyfikacji i zmianie niepokojących emocji, myśli i zachowań98.

Główne cele psychoterapii w leczeniu zaburzeń osobowości obejmują99:

  • Zmniejszenie natychmiastowego stresu, takiego jak lęk i depresja.
  • Pomoc pacjentowi w zrozumieniu, że jego problemy są wewnętrzne i nie są spowodowane przez inne osoby lub sytuacje.
  • Ograniczenie niezdrowych i społecznie niepożądanych zachowań.
  • Modyfikacja cech osobowości, które powodują trudności.

Rodzaje psychoterapii stosowane u pacjentów z zaburzeniami osobowości to100101:

  • Terapia poznawczo-behawioralna (CBT)
  • Dialektyczna terapia behawioralna (DBT) – specjalnie zaprojektowana do leczenia osób z zaburzeniem osobowości typu borderline102. Skupia się na poprawie zdolności jednostki do radzenia sobie poprzez koncentrację na czterech kluczowych obszarach: regulacji emocji, tolerancji stresu, uważności i skuteczności interpersonalnej103.
  • Terapia interpersonalna
  • Terapia oparta na mentalizacji (MBT) – celem MBT jest poprawa zdolności do rozpoznawania własnych i cudzych stanów psychicznych, nauka „wycofania się” z myśli o sobie i innych oraz zbadanie ich, aby zobaczyć, czy są one uzasadnione104.
  • Psychoterapia psychodynamiczna – pomaga osobom z zaburzeniami osobowości zrozumieć, jak wczesne doświadczenia życiowe i leżące u podstaw, często nieświadome, wzorce myślowe mogą przyczyniać się do ich objawów105.
  • Psychoedukacja – uczenie pacjenta i członków rodziny o diagnozie, leczeniu i sposobach radzenia sobie106.

Farmakoterapia

Aktualnie nie ma leków zatwierdzonych specjalnie do leczenia zaburzeń osobowości107108. Leki są w żaden sposób nie leczą żadnego zaburzenia osobowości. Powinny być traktowane jako uzupełnienie psychoterapii, aby pacjent mógł produktywnie angażować się w psychoterapię109.

Jednak pacjenci mogą być leczeni z powodu objawów związanych z zaburzeniami osobowości, które powodują znaczne upośledzenie i cierpienie110. W niektórych przypadkach pewne leki okazują się pomocne w zmniejszaniu objawów zaburzeń osobowości111:

  • Leki przeciwdepresyjne
  • Leki przeciwlękowe
  • Leki stabilizujące nastrój
  • Leki przeciwpsychotyczne drugiej generacji112

Leczenie objawów klinicznych może odbywać się z wykorzystaniem leków, takich jak stabilizatory nastroju, np. lamotrygina, które są czasami stosowane w leczeniu objawów zaburzenia osobowości typu borderline113. Każda osoba reaguje inaczej na leki w zależności od jej osobistej historii, diagnozy i innych czynników114.

Rola multidyscyplinarnego zespołu

Psychoterapia i farmakoterapia mogą być dostarczane przez jednego klinicystę lub zespół klinicystów, którzy rozwijają i utrzymują sojusz terapeutyczny z pacjentem115. Podkreśla się znaczenie opieki opartej na współpracy, obejmującej wielu pracowników służby zdrowia, w tym psychiatrów, psychologów, pracowników socjalnych i pielęgniarki116.

Osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości mogą być leczone w różnych placówkach psychiatrycznych, w tym ambulatoryjnych, częściowej hospitalizacji, psychiatrycznej hospitalizacji stacjonarnej i rezydencjalnych117. Każde środowisko leczenia oferuje swoje zalety i powinno być wybierane w oparciu o potrzeby pacjenta w danym czasie118.

Wyzwania i specjalne rozważania w opiece pielęgniarskiej

Pacjenci z zaburzeniami osobowości mogą znacząco obciążać relację lekarz-pacjent119. Klinicyści często nie mają przeszkolenia w zakresie rozpoznawania i radzenia sobie z zaburzeniami osobowości120.

Radzenie sobie z manipulacjami i trudnymi zachowaniami

Pielęgniarki powinny być świadome potencjalnych wyzwań w opiece nad pacjentami z zaburzeniami osobowości121. Niektóre z najbardziej problematycznych zachowań, z którymi pielęgniarki spotykają się w placówkach opieki zdrowotnej, są podobne dla wielu zaburzeń osobowości122.

Ogólne wytyczne pielęgniarskie dla pacjentów z zaburzeniami osobowości obejmują123124125126:

  • Unikanie bycia zbyt miłym lub przyjaznym.
  • Dawanie jasnych i prostych wyjaśnień testów i procedur z wyprzedzeniem.
  • Używanie prostego, jasnego języka; unikanie dwuznaczności.
  • Projektowanie neutralnego, ale życzliwego afektu.
  • Ostrzeganie o wszelkich zmianach, skutkach ubocznych leków i powodach opóźnień.
  • Pisemny plan leczenia może pomóc zachęcić do współpracy.
  • Próba zapobiegania lub zmniejszania niepożądanych skutków manipulacji (pochlebstwa, uwodzicielskość, wywoływanie poczucia winy).
  • Wyznaczanie jasnych i realistycznych granic dla określonego zachowania.
  • Świadomość, że pacjenci antyspołeczni mogą wzbudzać poczucie winy, gdy nie dostają tego, czego chcą. Chronienie przed manipulacją poprzez poczucie winy.
  • Wyznaczanie realistycznych celów, używanie jasnych słów akcji.
  • Używanie jasnej i prostej komunikacji.
  • Gdy pojawiają się problemy behawioralne, spokojne przeglądanie celów terapeutycznych i granic leczenia.
  • Unikanie odrzucania lub ratowania.
  • Ocena pod kątem zachowań samobójczych i samookaleczających, zwłaszcza w okresach stresu.

Przeciwprzeniesienie i wpływ na pielęgniarkę

Osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości mają duże trudności w dogadywaniu się z innymi i często wywołują intensywne negatywne uczucia u innych127. Pielęgniarki powinny być świadome potencjalnych wyzwań emocjonalnych w opiece nad tymi pacjentami:

  • Silne przeciwprzeniesienie często rozwija się u klinicystów z powodu nadmiernego przywiązania pacjentów; dlatego nadzór jest dobrze zalecany128.
  • Osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości typu borderline mogą być manipulacyjne129.
  • Przez całe życie osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości typu borderline doświadczały odrzucenia, traumy, nadużyć i stygmatyzacji społecznej. Prawdopodobnie miały trudności w pracy z poprzednimi pracownikami służby zdrowia z powodu niestabilnych emocji i strachu przed porzuceniem; stąd sojusz terapeutyczny między świadczeniodawcą a pacjentem jest kluczowy dla remisji objawów130.

Wspieranie rodzin i opiekunów

Zaburzenia osobowości mogą poważnie zakłócić twoje życie i życie tych, którzy się o ciebie troszczą131. Mogą powodować problemy w relacjach, pracy lub szkole. I mogą prowadzić do izolacji społecznej, innych problemów ze zdrowiem psychicznym z uzależnieniami, a także problemów zawodowych i prawnych132.

Opieka nad osobą z zaburzeniem osobowości może być wyzwaniem133. W proces leczenia należy włączyć wsparcie i edukację dotyczącą skutecznych mechanizmów radzenia sobie134.

Zachęcanie bliskiej osoby do szukania leczenia jest jednym z najbardziej wspierających kroków, jakie można podjąć. Jednak należy wiedzieć, że wiele osób z zaburzeniami osobowości odmawia uznania swojego stanu i nie można ich zmusić do pójścia, jeśli odmówią135.

Podsumowanie i zalecenia dla praktyki pielęgniarskiej

Pielęgniarki odgrywają kluczową rolę w opiece nad pacjentami z zaburzeniami osobowości. Ich wkład jest niezbędny na każdym etapie procesu pielęgnowania, od oceny do ewaluacji. Poniżej przedstawiono kluczowe zalecenia dla praktyki pielęgniarskiej:

  1. Podejście do pacjenta powinno być oparte na empatii, nieosądzaniu i szacunku. Jak zauważono w literaturze, osoby z zaburzeniami osobowości często doświadczają stygmatyzacji i odrzucenia136.
  2. Ustanowienie jasnych granic jest kluczowe. Ważne jest, aby pielęgniarki były świadome swoich własnych granic i konsekwentnie je egzekwowały137.
  3. Spędzanie nawet kilku sekund z pacjentem z zaburzeniem osobowości o cechach paranoidalnych jest terapeutyczne, ponieważ uwaga buduje zaufanie i rapport, oraz pozwala pacjentowi ćwiczyć umiejętności społeczne138.
  4. Opieka powinna koncentrować się na potrzebach danej osoby w danym momencie. Pielęgniarki mogą obawiać się, że brakuje im wiedzy specjalistycznej do opieki nad pacjentem z zaburzeniem osobowości, chociaż rada byłaby taka, aby zapomnieć o diagnozie, zobaczyć osobę i zidentyfikować jej potrzeby w danym momencie139.
  5. Regularna ocena ryzyka samobójstwa i samookaleczenia jest niezbędna. Pacjenci z niektórymi zaburzeniami osobowości, zwłaszcza z zaburzeniem typu borderline, mają podwyższone ryzyko zachowań samobójczych i samookaleczenia140.
  6. Dokumentacja jest ważną częścią monitorowania postępów lub ich braku w leczeniu osoby z zaburzeniem osobowości. Dokumentacja powinna zawierać indywidualne ustalenia, przekonania i oczekiwania kulturowe i religijne pacjenta, konkretny plan opieki, jak osoba reaguje na plan opieki, interwencje, nauczanie i wykonane działania oraz postępy pacjenta w kierunku lub osiągnięcie pożądanych wyników141.

Podsumowując, opieka pielęgniarska nad pacjentami z zaburzeniami osobowości wymaga kompleksowego i zindywidualizowanego podejścia, które uwzględnia unikalne potrzeby każdego pacjenta. Poprzez zrozumienie podstawowych zasad opieki nad osobami z zaburzeniami osobowości, pielęgniarki mogą zapewnić bardziej skuteczną i współczującą opiekę, co ostatecznie przyczynia się do poprawy wyników pacjenta.

    Whilst this article is written about borderline personality disorder it is worth remembering and carrying through into your practice that people with this diagnosis are human beings. […] Care should focus on a persons needs in the moment. […] It is therefore essential that all staff across primary care environments understand BPD, and how to effectively support people. […] If they have physical health issues, these should be addressed, but the care often missed is the psychic pain and underlying distress. […] Nurses may worry they lack expertise to care for PdxBPD, though advice would be to forget BPD, see the person, and identify their needs in the moment. […] A final point, and perhaps the most important, is that if professionals keep their mind on the needs people have in the present moment, and difficult life experiences rather than the BPD label, it likely means responses will be more empathic and understanding, and thus more useful. Nurses need to look beyond the diagnosis and explore a persons underlying distress. All human interactions can be helpful.

[…] Psychotherapy is at the core of care for personality disorders. Because personality disorders produce symptoms as a result of poor or limited coping skills, psychotherapy aims to improve perceptions of and responses to social and environmental stressors.
