Decreases inhibitory hormones, decreasing our ability to fight off pain and feelings of stress, and our body's ability to heal. Kiecolt-Glaser 1995 Caregivers of individuals who had Alzheimers disease took 24% longer to heal a small dermal wound than matched controls. Marucha 1998 Small wound(s) administered on the hard palate to dental students at examinations healed, on average, 40% more slowly than during summer break Provide training and education regarding ADL self-care activities, Remediate upper-extremity weakness and/or abnormal muscle tone through exercise and relevant ADL/IADL activities.

Holistic Perspective Conclusion Regulated and sustained attention to the moment-to-moment quality and character of sensory, emotions and cognitive events. The recognition that such events are momentary, fleeting and changeable. A consequent lack of emotional or cognitive appraisal and/or reactions to these events. We can help to identify and fill gaps in the medical system. Patients are often just "medically involved." Stress is a huge factor in healing Remove stressors and promote healing Mindfulness to Reduce Pain. . . And promote Healing of the mind, body and spirit To observe their experience with present moment awareness while completing ADL/IADL tasks. While washing hands be "mindful." Instruct on diaphragmatic breathing/deep breathing techniques to complete as a preparatory activity or during ADL/IADL activities. "Breath into your waistband."
