3P model of insomnia

Model that is used to comprehensively assess the causes of insomnia, suggest appropriate interventions, and providing rationales for treatment.

The 3Ps are…

  • Predisposing

  • Precipitating

  • Perpetuating factors

New cards
New cards

Predisposing factors 3P model

Individual factors that create a vulnerability to insomnia. Included prior history of poor sleep, depression, anxiety

New cards
New cards

General adaptation syndrome

Syndrome that results from an attempt to adapt to anxiety situations. Has three stages

New cards
New cards

Three stages of GAS

  1. Alarm or acute stress stage: activates the sympathetic nervous system, activates HPA axis to stay on alert “fight or flight” mode

  2. Resistance or adaptation stage: sustained and optimal resistance to the stressor, recover, renewal, and repair may occur

  3. Exhaustion stage: resources are depleted, the stress may become chronic. This can result in chronic health conditions

New cards
New cards

Mild Anxiety

Day to day tension. Keeps a person alert and motivated, problem solving and grasping information is increased. Can be considered Eustress

New cards
New cards

Moderate anxiety

Selective inattention, clear thinking is hampered, problem solving is less than optimal but still possible, SNS symptoms begin. Engaging a patient can bring them back from this.

New cards
New cards

Severe anxiety

Perceptual field greatly reduced. Difficulty concentrating on the environment, confused and automatic behavior. Somatic stress symptoms increase. Patient is unable to take in the “big picture” physical symptoms of stress develop

New cards
New cards

Three types of crisis

  • Maturational: Crisis that occurs due to transition into another stage of life

  • Situational: events that are unusually distressing and unanticipated. Affects only the person experiencing the crisis

  • Adventitious: Traumatic and external event that happens unexpectedly. Will typically affect many people. Ex: natural disaster

New cards
New cards

Phase 1 of the crisis response

Serious stressor results in increased anxiety. Stimulates the usual coping mechanisms to address the problem and decrease anxiety. Minor anxieties can be respolved here

New cards
New cards

Phase 2 of the crisis response

Defense mechanisms fail, threat persists, anxiety increases which results in feelings of discomfort, disorganized functioning, and trial and error attempts at problem solving. Person will be desperate and disorganized in attempt to resolve issues

New cards
New cards

Phase Three crisis response

Trial and error fails resulting in increased anxiety to severe or panic level. Automatic relief behaviors are mobilized(withdraw, flight, etc). Some form of resolution may be devised such as compromising or redefining the situation

New cards
New cards

Phase 4 Crisis response

Problem is unsolved and coping skills are ineffective. Overwhelming anxiety can lead to personality disorganization, confusion, violence, and self injury

New cards
New cards

Assessment of crisis situation

Assessing perception of the precipitating event. Assessing the situational support(who can help them through the crisis), assessing coping skills(how can they help themselves through the crisis)

New cards
New cards

Steps in crisis intervention

Planning

  • devise a plan to restire client to previous level of functioning

Intervention

  • Help pt gain understanding of the crisis, explore coping mechanisms

Resolution

  • Restore to previous level of functioning. Anticipatory planning for next crisis

New cards
New cards

Levels of Crisis prevention

  • Primary prevention: promotes mental health and reduces mental illness to decrease incidence of crisis

  • Secondary prevention: intervention during an acute crisis to prevent prolonged anxiety

  • Tertiary prevention: Provides long term support for those who have experienced crisis
