Psycho-pedagogical interviews

These are framed interviews with a specific working planning: it can cause deep changes and also it can mean a great inside effort and discipline in a person. There are included also interviews for an accurate need, not framed, that could be misunderstood with a crisis intervention. When a partner has a severe psychological problem, is drift to a specialist or a psychiatrist, depending on the situation, because the psycho-pedagogic action area does not include psychological sickness. Anyway, the Service is adjusted to the requests and needs of people. The affected people and their families are who set the working rhythm.

Phone psychopedagogical interventions

Telephone has been a very useful way of contact, communication and support for our partners, because for many of them to travel to the hospital is not easy at all. Most of the phone psycho-pedagogical interventions are crisis interventions.

Psycho-pedagogical interventions in Hospital environment

The Psycho-pedagogical Service takes part in these areas: Interventions in outer requests: basically related to special situations where the affected person asks for ASHEGUI’s psycho-pedagogist. The more frequent situations are: the haemophiliac self-limitation to understand and/or to face emotionally an interview with the specialist doctor, or due to extreme crisis situation. Depending on the arisen problems, some years we have registered a high percentage in hospital interventions: urgencies and/or ICU. In those situations our work is focused on the family because the haemophiliac’s needs in those situations are basically medical. However, when it is possible emotional support it’s offered, but always with the consent from the specialist doctors in charge of the patient. Intervention in Rehabilitation Service makes possible to support, to cheer, to motivate and to assure that specialist’s instructions are followed. Usually, these aspects are very important for the haemophiliacs, because rehabilitation treatment is usually hard and long. For a long time, most of the psycho-pedagogical visits have been centred in children. So attention and approach has been for us even more important. Rehabilitation Service’s treatment in haemophiliacs focuses on the decrease of the several sequelae caused by the bleedings and on the prevention of articular malformations. Interventions in Day Hospital, replay to small surgery, which is done the same day, and without complications. The main objective in this area is to assure that both the affected persons and their families have covered all their needs. In special cases, when it is necessary, we speak with the surgery staff and we offer emotional support during the whole process. The ASHEGUI’s professional keeps daily contact if the patient agrees. The intervention extends to the family. Usually, the interventions are psychological, however, in many cases, it can be philosophical. All the areas we have spoken about are reflected in the graphic where we can see the work volume and the evolution. The results of what we call hospital care has been very positive for ASHEGUI. In fact, to support, to advise, to help, to be with our partners in very difficult situations; such us being in hospital with a serious problem, give us the strength and motivates Ashegui’s staff to keep on working.
