Reality Orientation would be the most appropriate intervention for the client who is experiencing emotional stress after a recent surgery.
What is Reality Orientation?
- Reality orientation was inspired by a method used with disabled veterans to encourage them to interact and feel a connection with their environment.
- It's a strategy in which the surroundings, such as times, places, and current surroundings, are regularly brought up and weaved into the talks with the subject.
- The patient is constantly reminded of the time, their location, and sporadically personal details about their lives by the therapists during reality orientation.
- The therapist and the patient may talk about current events and the patient's regular activities.
Approaches can be:
- After surgery, a patient may endure emotional stress that causes disorientation.
- An effective technique to lessen the client's confusion is reality orientation.
- Reality orientation may, in general, be more appropriate for those with mild to moderate cognitive impairment.
- Touch can be used as a therapeutic tool to promote relaxation, offer physical and mental comfort, and express interest.
- By recalling the past, reminiscence helps us put meaning and explanation into the present and settle disputes that are going on right now.
- A client who is confused may benefit from the communication approach known as validation therapy.
What is Validation Therapy?
- The emotions that underlie the behaviors or words are the main focus of validation therapy.
- It encourages the individual to speak about the situation they're in with the hope that by processing some possible unresolved worries, they would eventually be able to be more at peace (rather than the one we know to be true).
- Validation therapy aims to identify and express a person's feelings in order to help them comprehend when events occurred, what they mean, and how they relate to current behaviors.
