Developing a non-aversive intervention strategy in the management of aggression and violence for people with learning disabilities using natural therapeutic holding

Journal of Advanced Nursing
C Stirling, A McHugh

Abstract

This paper builds upon a previous piece of research regarding the development of 'natural therapeutic holding' as a non-aversive alternative to control and restraint (C and R) in managing aggression and violence in people with learning disabilities. This paper represents aspects of an ongoing programme of research and explains the aims and values which underpin natural therapeutic holding by describing the theory, aims, values and practical application. The concepts of individual risk management and pro-active intervention strategies are discussed with illustrations of practical application given by means of a case study. The case study shows that over a relatively short period of time, an individual with severe learning disabilities who is aggressive and violent, learns alternative coping strategies to aggression and violence through the application of natural therapeutic holding. The article concludes that natural therapeutic holding is a very effective intervention strategy in the management of violence in people with learning disabilities from two perspectives: (a) it provides staff with safe, professional and ethical skills with which they can manage aggressive and violent clients and (b) as a therapy, natural therapeutic ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
