Week 10- h and P- emotion and regulation and Adherence

emotion and regulation and Adherence

Algorithms are useful for solving problems because they follow clear steps. However, one limitation of algorithms is that they are often:

Inflexible

Functional fixedness,

is not used in problem solving- is a cognitive bias or obstacle that hinders problem-solving — it occurs when someone is unable to see alternative uses for an object beyond its typical function.

Confirmation bias

occurs when a person seeks out, interprets, or remembers information that supports their existing beliefs while ignoring evidence that contradicts them.

Creative non-adherence

occurs when a patient intentionally changes how they take their medication — such as altering the dose, timing, or combining it with other substances — based on their own beliefs or judgments rather than medical advice.

James-Lange theory

it does not require the physiological response to occur first for the emotion to be felt.

Cannon-Bard theory of emotion…

The emotional experience and the physiological response happen simultaneously and independently.

Emotions and emotion regulation have been linked to health behaviours and outcomes across the disease initiation and progression 'health journey' pathway. Three of the points on the pathway where emotions are implicated are:

Emotion regulation using response modulation?

Response modulation involves directly influencing your emotional responses after they have been triggered, often through physiological or behavioral strategies.

Situation Selection

Choosing to enter or avoid situations to influence the emotions you are likely to experience

Situation Modification 

Actively changing to the situation 

Attentional deployment

Shifting focus of attention in a situation eg- distraction

Cognitive Change

Thinking about something else to alter the emotional impact

Definition of Emotions 

A heritable set of adaptive mechanisms that function systemically to inform, motivate and organise an organism’s responses to the perception of a change in goal-environment relationships 

ADHERENCE

The extent to which a person’s health behaviour corresponds
with agreed recommendations from a healthcare provider”

UNINTENTIONAL NON-ADHERENCE

A passive (not chosen by them)process in which the patient is unable to adhere to the recommended treatment plan due
to limited capacity or resources

INTENTIONAL NON-ADHERENCE

An active (chosen to do) process whereby the patient
chooses to deviate from the recommended
treatment plan.
