It included a cardiac rehabilitation program consisting of physical exercise and psychoeducational consultations over 6 months. As part of the evaluation of the CopenHeartRFA trial, both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. The intervention was delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Aim: This study aimed to understand the experience of patients treated for AF with ablation who participated in the CopenHeartRFA cardiac rehabilitation program. Methods: A qualitative descriptive design was used. A purposive sample of 10 patients who had completed the intervention consented to participate. The interviews were conducted face-to-face and were audio-recorded and transcribed. Qualitative content analyses were used to analyze the data. The interviews were analyzed individually by two researchers and themes were constructed and discussed. Results: The sample included 10 participants, mean age 54.6 years. Four categories were identified and labeled: 1) strengthening belief in one’s own physical capacity and survival; 2) still struggling with fear of AF symptoms; 3) a need for support to move on; and 4) regaining confidence in one’s own mental strength with support from professionals. Conclusion: The four themes describe a positive experience from participating in the rehabilitation program. The rehabilitation program promoted self-efficacy for engaging in physical activity and the benefit of a safe environment for processing the emotional responses and the value of the therapeutic relationship between the patient and the rehabilitation provider.

No full textDarba autors: Signe Podiņa. Bakalaura darba temats: „Bērnu patstāvības veicināšanas iespējas pirmsskolā 3 līdz 4 gadu vecumā”. Darba mērķis: teorētiski un empīriski izpētīt 3-4 gadu vecuma bērnu patstāvības veicināšanas iespēju izmantošanu pedagoģiskajā procesā. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no 2 daļām – teorētiskās un empīriskās. Teorētiskajā daļā raksturots „patstāvības” jēdziens vairāku pedagogu un psihologu (Sokrats, F. Rablē, R. Harē, A. Bandura, D. Ričlaks, M. Montessori u.c.) darbos, kā arī svarīgākas patstāvības koncepcijas, izpētīti patstāvības komponenti. Bakalaura darba ietvaros analizētas jaunākā pirmsskolas vecuma bērnu kognitīvās un emocionālās attīstības likumsakarības, kā arī izvērtēti pedagoģiskie paņēmieni bērnu patstāvības veicināšanai. Darba empīriskajā daļā veikta vecāku aptauja ar nolūku noskaidrot viņu attieksmi un izpratni par bērnu patstāvības veicināšanas nozīmi un viņu lomu šajā procesā, kā arī bērnu novērošana ar mērķi novērtēt viņu patstāvības attīstības līmeni. Izstrādāti un aprobēti tematiskie bloki, kas satur veselu virkni nodarbību ar bērniem (didaktiskās spēles, praktiskie vingrinājumi, kustību rotaļas un lomu spēles, kā arī izglītojošās un mākslinieciskās darbības nodarbības) un viņu vecākiem (tematiskās sapulces, grupas un individuālās konsultācijas), kā arī veikta pētījuma rezultātu apstrāde un analīze. Iegūto datu analīze liecina par pozitīvo dinamiku bērnu patstāvības attīstībā: salīdzinot datus, kas bija iegūti pētījuma sākumā un noslēgumā, var secināt, ka patstāvības attīstības līmenis ir ievērojami paaugstinājies. Pateicoties pedagoģiskā izmēģinājuma gaitā iegūtām zināšanām, bērni kļuva aktīvāki, novērota viņu tieksme pēc radošuma, neatlaidība un centieni organizatorisko jautājumu risināšanā. Atslēgas vārdi: patstāvība, pašapkalpošanās prasmes, iniciatīva, sadarbība ar vecākiem.

The topic of the Bachelor`s thesis: „Opportunities for encouraging 3-4 years old children`s independence in kindergarden”. The goal of the research paper: to study the independence encouragement possibility usage in the pedagogical process with children from the age of 3 to 4 both, theoretically and empirically. The Bachelor`s thesis consists a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part the concept of “independence” was characterized in the works of several educators and psychologists (Socrates, F. Rabelais, R. Hare, A. Bandura, D. Richlak, M. Montessori u.c.), as well as more significant independence concepts and independence components have been studied. Within the framework of the Bachelor`s thesis, cognitive and emotional development patterns of the youngest pre-school age children have been analyzed, as well as the pedagogical approaches have been evaluated for children`s independence fostering. During the empirical part of the research paper, a parents` survey was carried out with the goal of clarifying their attitude and comprehension regarding the children`s independence fostering significance, and their role in the process. Also, the children`s observation was carried out with the goal of evaluating the level of their independence. Thematic blocks have been developed and approbated, which contain a row of activities with children (didactic games, practical exercises, movement games and role plays, as well as educational and artistic activity classes) and their parents (thematic meetings, group and individual consultations), as well as the research result processing and analysis was carried out. The obtained data analysis shows positive dynamic in children`s independence development. By comparing the data obtained at the beginning and in the end of the research, it can be concluded that the independence level has increased significantly. Due to the knowledge acquired during the pedagogical experiment, the children became more active, also their tendency for creativity, persistence and efforts towards the organizational issue solving were observed. Key words: independence, self-service skills, initiative, cooperation with parents.

Quality of life and symptom experience measurement tools in adults with atrial fibrillation:a scoping review protocol
No full textOBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map measurement tools for evaluating disease-specific quality of life and symptoms in adults with atrial fibrillation. The review will also identify key concepts that differentiate quality of life from symptom experience.INTRODUCTION: Quality of life is a broad concept influenced by physical health, psychological state, degree of independence, and social/functional status. Symptoms of a chronic disease may influence quality of life through their effect on an individual's perception of physical health. Symptom experience is distinct from quality of life; however, the distinction is ill-defined, resulting in conceptual overlap in the measurement tools used to assess these concepts in patients with atrial fibrillation.INCLUSION CRITERIA: Included manuscripts will describe a scale, index, questionnaire, checklist, or other form of measurement tool designed to assess quality of life or symptom experience in adults with atrial fibrillation or supraventricular arrhythmia. Peer-reviewed research manuscripts and systematic reviews, gray literature, and conceptual/theoretical papers will be included.METHODS: The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Embase will be searched, as well as Google Scholar, MedNar, and OpenGrey. Articles will be considered if they are published in English, Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian, with no date limitation. The title and abstract of each article will be independently screened by two authors, followed by full-text review of remaining articles, according to the inclusion criteria. Data will be independently extracted by two authors using a data extraction tool.</p

Darba autors:
Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Veselības un sporta zinātņu fakultātes studiju programmas “Ergoterapija” studente Signe Ķezbere
Aktualitāte:
Uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes sindroms (UDHS) ir viens no visizplatītākajiem psihiatriskajiem traucējumiem, kas saistīts ar bērna neirālo attīstību. Tas skar 5 – 8% bērnu, galvenokārt zēnus, un bieži vien ilgst līdz pieauguša cilvēka vecumam (WHO, 2019). Pēdējo 20 gadu laikā ir novērots nepārtraukts uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes sindroma diagnozes pieaugums. Iegūtie dati atspoguļo UDHS izplatības pieaugumu no 6,1% līdz 10,2% 20 gadu periodā (no 1997. līdz 2016. gadam) (Abdelnour, 2022).
Pētījuma mērķis:
Apkopot un analizēt pēdējo 10 gadu laikā veiktos pētījumus par uz bērnu centrētas spēles terapijas metodes efektivitāti uz uzvedības izpausmēm bērniem ar uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes sindromu.
Pētījuma metodes:
Pētījuma dizains: tika izstrādāts sistemātisks literatūras pārskats. Pētījumi tika meklēti tādās datu bāzēs kā ScienceDirect, Researchgate, PubMed, EBSCO, izmantojot atslēgas vārdus: Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Behavior, Inattention, Hyperactivity, Impulsivity. Bakalaura darbā ietverti randomizēti kontrolēti pētījumi par uz bērnu centrētas spēles terapijas metodes pielietojumu uzvedības izpausmju (impulsivitātes, uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes) mazināšanai bērniem ar uzmanības deficīta un hiperaktivitātes sindromu.
Pētījuma rezultāti: Abbasi R., Saghi F., 2023, Hoomanian D., et al., 2016 un Teimourian S., et al., 2020 pētījumos intervences grupas rezultāti statistiski nozīmīgi (P≤0.05) atšķīrās no kontroles grupas rezultātiem, kas liecina par BCST metodes efektivitāti uz UDHS uzvedības izpausmju mazināšanu.
Secinājumi: Pielietojot BCST metodi ir iespējams uzlabot uzvedības simptomu izpausmes - nervozitāti un depresiju, agresiju un sociālo nesaderību, hiperaktivitāti un impulsivitāti, sociālās problēmas, noteikumu pārkāpšanas uzvedību un agresīvu uzvedību.

Author of the bachelor thesis:
Signe Ķezbere, student of study programme “Occupational therapy”, Faculty of Health and Sports Sciences of Rīga Stradiņš University
Actuality:
Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders associated with a child's neural development. It affects 5 – 8% of children, mostly boys, and often lasts until adulthood (WHO, 2019). Over the past 20 years, there has been a steady increase in diagnosis of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. The findings reflect an increase in the prevalence of ADHD from 6.1% to 10.2% over a 20-year period (from 1997. to 2016.) (Abdelnour, 2022).
Aim of the study:
Collect and analyze studies conducted over the past 10 years on the efficacy of a child-centered play therapy method on behavioral interferences in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity syndrome.
Methods:
Study design: a systematic literature review. The research was sought in databases such as
ScienceDirect, Researchgate, PubMed, EBSCO using keywords: Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Behavior, Inattention, Hyperactivity, Impulsivity. The Bachelor's thesis includes randomized controlled trial of the use of a child-centered game therapy method to reduce behavioral expressions (impulsivity, attention deficit, and hyperactivity) in children with attention deficit and hyperactivity syndrome.
Results: In the Abbasi R., Saghi F., 2023, Hoomanian D., et al., 2016 and Teimourian S., et al., 2020 the results of the intervention differed statistically significantly (P ≤ 0.05) from those of the control group, suggesting the efficacy of the CCPT method on reducing behavioral expressions of ADHD behaviour.
Conclusions: Using the CCPT method, it is possible to improve expressions of behavioral symptoms - nervousness and depression, aggression and social incompatibility, hyperactivity and impulsivity, social problems, rule-breaking and aggressive behavior.

Encouraging self-help skills of 2-3 year old children via games
No full textBakalaura darba temats: 2 – 3 gadīgu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmju sekmēšana rotaļā. Autore: Signe Freimane. Pētījuma mērķis: teorētiski analizēt un praktiski pētīt pašapkalpošanās prasmju sekmēšanas iespējas rotaļās 2 – 3 gadīgiem bērniem. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no divām daļām: teorētiskās un praktiskās. Teorētiskajā daļā tika analizētas un salīdzinātas dažādu praktiķu un teorētiķu domas, kas skar pašapkalpošanās prasmju apgūšanu 2 – 3 gadu vecumā. Tika pētīts konkrētā vecumposma psiholoģiskais raksturojums un rotaļu veidi, ko piedāvāt, lai sekmētu bērnu patstāvību un neatkarību no pieaugušā. Otrajā daļā tika veikts empīriskais pētījums, kurā, balstoties uz teorētiskajām atziņām, tika izvirzīti kritēriji, veidotas rotaļas un spēles, kas sekmētu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmju apgūšanu. Tika veikta vecāku aptauja, kurā tika noskaidrots: kā viņi vērtē savu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmes; kā un vai viņi ir gatavi personīgi iesaistīties šajā procesā. Tika veikta bērnu prasmju vērtēšana pirms un pēc praktiskās daļas. Iegūtie rezultāti tika apkopoti, analizēti un veikti secinājumi un veidoti ieteikumi skolotājiem. Praktiskajā daļā tika pārbaudīta izvirzītā hipotēze: 2 - 3 gadīgiem bērniem pašapkalpošanās prasmes rotaļā tiek veicinātas, ja bērns ir ieinteresēts darboties gan skolotāja vadībā, gan patstāvīgi ar pieejamajiem materiāliem. Izvirzītā hipotēze tika pierādīta, jo bērni gan aktīvi iesaistījās pedagogu piedāvātajās aktivitātēs, gan aizrautīgi un ar interesi darbojās patstāvīgi ar pieejamiem materiāliem.

Author: Signe Freimane. Objective of the research: Theoretical analysis and empirical research of the possibilities of encouraging self-help skills via games for 2-3 year old children. This research aims to examine how to encourage self-help skills of 2-3 year old children through various games. The research focuses on two components: how a child engages in the activity offered by the teacher; how a child works individually with the available materials. The Bachelor's thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part of the study analyzes and compares the observations of various practitioners and theorists concerning the development of self-help skills at the age of 2-3 years. The research examine particular age groups psychological characteristics and type of the games to offer by encouraging children's independence from an adult. In the second part, an empirical study was carried out, in which, based on theoretical findings, criteria were established and games created which would encourage children's self-help skills development. Parents survey was carried out. The results show how they evaluate their children 's self - help skills; how and whether they are willing to be personally involved in the process. The children's skills were evaluated before and after the empirical part. The study summarizes and analyzes the obtained results and draws conclusions. Research-based recommendations for teachers were made. In the empirical part, the hypothesis was tested: for 2-3 year olds, self-help skills in the games are encouraged if a child is interested in working both under the guidance of a teacher and independently with the available materials. The hypothesis was supported by the results of this research. The children actively engaged in the activities offered by the teachers and individually worked with the available materials exhibiting great enthusiasm.

Identitetsdannelse i nyrealismen
No full textAbstract Modern Danish literature around the late 1960’s was influenced by somewhat conflicting perceptions of the way we think identity. This project looks into these trends and tries to exemplify their existence in Henrik Stangerup’s novel Slangen i brystet. We hereby take the aim of presenting some essential features in the creation of human identity in this specific period. Any attempt to shed light on this matter acquires a specifically angled approach. The novel’s obvious concerns about the modern shapes and sounds of human identity have invoked our use of theories from the literary world as well as modern sociology. To clarify the methods behind our means it is important to briefly mention the structure of the analysis, which will operate on several levels. To separate the novel’s character from the narrator we make use of the literary theories defined by Danish literate Annemette Hejlsted. In addition, certain elements in Stangerup’s personal life fuel our suspicion of the work as being so-called autofiction. Our analysis thus includes character, narrator and author. Finally, considering the novel’s numerous features of the characteristic form of literary realism founded at the time, along with Stangerup’s paradoxical views on modern literature and identity, we take a look at some contemporary Danish ideologies that coincides with the arrival of the post-structural movement. These ventures into the empirical background have lead us to a question along the lines: How can literature reflect the notion of human identity in the modern world?Abstract Modern Danish literature around the late 1960’s was influenced by somewhat conflicting perceptions of the way we think identity.
