I have Hopelessness r/t inadequate support system and lack of positive feedback AEB pt states " I have never been able to do anything right and ther is no reason to continue on when I have nothing or no one to live for"
Relevant Hx:
Lost job 5 days ago
Lost Home 3 days ago
He has no family support, they do not accept that he is gay
He has no friends
His partner of 6 years died 4 years ago and was never able to talk about feelings with anyone
Pt states "love is pain, I don't want to find love because I cannot go throught what I went through again"
Hx of physical and emotional abuse
Says father was just a "sperm donor, he never talked to me or cared about me"
Pt states " I can't find the desire to want to deal with everyday tasks anymore"
Goals (THIS IS WHAT I"M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH)!!!
SHort term:
Pt will express feelings of sadness and anger towards lack of family support and loss of partner and will want to move forward with hope for the future in 1 week
Intervention: Allow pt to express feelings of sadness and anger while providing positive feedback
Long term:
By discharge pt will experience an increase in self-worth and hope AEB setting positive goals for self and interaction in therapeutic communication (
Provide positive feedback and support of goals set for patient
OR
By d/c pt will demonstrate sense of hope and drive to continue living AEB interactions and willingness to participate in therapeutic communication
I ALSO need help with dysfunctional grieving r/t loss of partner and lack of family support AEB pt states "I have never been able to express my feelings to anyone, they have been built up inside of me for so long and I have finally hit the bottom"
I don't think my r/t is right???
It is the same hx as above---father never was there for him, could never talk about feelings when lost partner because he was gay and family didn't approve anyway, physically and emotionally abused, "love is pain"
All help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks! :)
