The need for sleep is subjective, there is no “normal value” of it. It is 7-7.5
hours on an average (not 8!), but there can be huge deviations from this.
Dreaming is an important process, for it reveals our unconscious desires.
The measurement of the quality of sleep is whether we wake unrefreshed or
not, and not the quantity of our sleep and how deep we consider it to be.
Sleeping cycles are approx. ninety minutes long, and their conscious timing is very
important in terms of the biorhythm.

Sleeping is a part of the daily biorhythm, thus the best way to regulate it is to
have a lifestyle as orderly as possible.

consciousness.

At first, the doctors are impressed by the patient’s respect and devotion. The patient’s
recurrent need for support may, however, easily become cumbersome, especially if his
somatic disease does not render any further treatment necessary. In such cases doctors easily
become irritable and negative, which intensifies the patient’s fear of losing the doctor.

Their fundamental belief of themselves is that their organism, their emotions and their
behaviour are difficult to control, and world is unpredictable, so they need to create a perfect
system, and they need to keep everything under control in order to avoid collapse. The idea,
“to err is human,” is unacceptable for them, for even the tiniest mistake may lead to total
collapse.
Illness, for them, means the threatening loss of control over their bodies. Making use of
medical treatment is also considered a loss of control, for their recovery becomes dependent
on the doctor’s treatment.

They have very rigorous expectations of the doctors and the medical personnel. They usually
prepare very thoroughly from their disease, they gather information about possible treatment
methods and the contingent side effects of medications and other treatment methods. They do
this to alleviate their intense anxiety. Doctors, in many cases, are offended if they do not
recognise that they are facing a person of compulsive personality, who tries to cope with his
intense anxiety in this way. They feel that the patient contests their professional competence
and criticises them.

they want to get the doctor to provide them such a service, prescribe such a medication or to
issue such a medical certificate which, from a medical point of view, are not justified. If the

easily lose their temper, start putting in immodest claims, then start menacing, and neither
violent actions may be excluded.

What is untrue concerning the notion of bad news?
We call bad news every piece of information that permanently influence the
prospects of future.
Every piece of illness related information is qualified as bad news.
Mostly information concerning an illness of fatal outcome is what constitutes
bad news.
Bad news is an extensive notion, and the subjective aspects of the patient greatly
determine what we mean by it.
AP141P0002
Models of imparting bad news:
The model of individually tailored information

The advantages of the individually tailored model:
The patient will more likely be able to cope with the situation and mobilize
resources of help from his environment
There are no concealed facts; communication remains open among the doctor,
the patient and the relatives, thus therapy and the management of practical
issues are more easily realizable
One occasion is sufficient for it and requires less preparation on behalf of the doctor
It may be routinely applied on the basis of an accurately defined algorithm
AP1411P0004
What reasons are there against the concealment of bad news?
The majority of patients do not want to know about the bad news concerning them.
Family members are compelled to assume an air of secrecy, which burdens the
patient-relative relationship
Concealment spares the patient the emotional burden.
The majority of patients find out about their illness form the metacommunication of the medical personnel.

“Based on the X-ray, nothing certain can be said. Further examinations are needed.”
AP14221P0009

establishment of the diagnosis, later we do not touch upon the subject any more.
Subsequent to the imparting of bad news, we may also involve a professional
helper, who will give assistance to the patient in decreasing emotional
burdens.
The empathic behaviour of the doctor increases the risk of burning out.

receive any more information.
When the doctor gets stuck in the process of providing information.

because they use certain expressions differently.
AP1423P0025

We shouldn’t take charge of what we don’t know, for by this we decrease the

time.
Hope may be maintained only if there is any chance of survival.
