BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

A. INTRODUCTION
Schizophrenia is a group of psychotic reactions that affect multiple areas of an
individuals functioning including thinking and communication, perceiving and
interpreting reality, feeling and demonstrating emotions and behaving in a socially
accepted manner. This condition causes distortion and bizarre behavior, thoughts,
movements, emotions and perceptions. This condition is usually diagnosed in late
adolescence or early adulthood and rarely manifest in childhood.
The symptoms of schizophrenia are divided into two major categories; the
positive and negative symptoms. The positive symptoms include delusions and its types,
hallucinations, loose associations and bizarre or disorganized behavior while the negative
symptoms includes restricted emotions, anhedonia, avolition, alogia, catatonia and social
withdrawal. Most clients with schizophrenia have a mixture of both types of symptoms.
The diagnosis of this condition usually is made when the person begins to display more
actively positive symptoms of delusions, hallucinations and disordered thinking. Onset
may be abrupt but most clients slowly and gradually develop signs and symptoms such as
social withdrawal, unusual behavior, loss of interest and neglected hygiene.
Schizophrenia is also classified into five types and diagnosed according to the
clients predominant symptoms. Paranoid type is characterized by persecutory or
grandiose delusions, hallucinations and occasionally excessive religiosity hostility and
aggressive behavior. Disorganized type is characterized by inappropriate or flat affect,
disorganized speech and disorganized behavior. The catatonic is characterized by marked
psychomotor disturbance, either motionless or excessive motor activity. Motor
immobility may be manifested by waxy flexibility or stupor. Excessive motor activity is
apparently purposeless and not influenced by external stimuli. Other features include
extreme negativism, echolalia, echopraxia or even mutism. Undifferentiated type is
characterized by mixed schizophrenic symptoms of other types along with disturbances
of affect and behavior. The last type which is residual is characterized by the absence of
prominent delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech and grossly disorganized or
catatonic behavior.
Our client was classified and diagnosed as schizophrenia, undifferentiated type.
Which means, that she demonstrated mixed schizophrenic symptoms of others but not
enough of them to define its particular type.

B. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
According to Learning Theory, the irrational ways of handling situations, the
distorted thinking and the deficient communication patterns of person with schizophrenia
are a result of poor parental models in early childhood. Children learn what they are
exposed to on daily basis, from parents who have their own significant emotional
problems. Thus, the child does not develop skill forming good interpersonal relationships
which she possesses when she grows up. If this was not to be resolve, it will lead to some
emotional distortions.
Sullivan was the principal proponent of learning theory, believing that the
developing individual was shaped by social interactions. Therefore, the complex feelings,
thoughts and behavioral expressions grew out of the individuals experiences with those
closest to her or him. For example, if the childs father was mean and dictatorial, the
perception may have generalized to other men in positions with authority. Or if the
childs mother coped problems by projecting blame onto others, the child learn this
pattern of behavior and alienated others by putting it into practice. As what the child seen
at early stage of life, that was the things she will be doing when she grow up to cope
problems and save her or his ego identity.
This theory I think was indicated to my client who have difficulty in coping when
she was still at normal state of life. Later, she developed untoward behaviors when
triggers the development of her condition and was diagnosed to have schizophrenia,
undifferentiated type. This is in relationship with the relationship of the client with the
other members of the family especially her parents who were to be the model of the
young minds. She grew up with a mean father and mother which she never inculcated
during the interactions. And from this case, the client tend to blame her mother for the
development of the condition.

The client was first admitted at the National Center for Mental Health at the year
1995 because of hostility, untoward behaviors and social withdrawal. She was then
diagnosed to have Schizophrenia, undifferentiated type. According to the client herself,
she always heard voices and even saw things which were vague for her. Meaning, she
was experiencing visual and auditory hallucinations. That was why her father brought her
at the center. She was been manageable and was in and out at the center for 6 years. At
the year 2001, at 2:40 in the afternoon of July 11, she was readmitted accompanied by her
father for she experienced again symptoms like hallucinations and delusions. The client
then denied the presence of auditory and visual hallucinations and claimed to have a good

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ASSESSMENT

A. GENERAL APPEARANCE
The client appears stated with her age of 48 years old, wearing a pink dress with a
face towel at her back, well groomed and with good personal hygiene. Shes taking a bath
everyday with a good daily routine. The client has a good posture, gait and coordination.
During interaction, she has a good eye to eye contact and an appropriate affect or facial
expression with regards to a certain situation. She was well nourished and has a fair skin
as evidenced by her good body built and has no sleeping difficulties by the absence of
dark circles under her eyes. She was well oriented with time, place, date and reality. The
client considered the interview the interview as a normal thing and she was guided
accordingly with no harsh or offending questions thrown to her during the interview. She
was cooperative with consistency of speech and behavior.
B. GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND ACTIVITY
The client sometimes lethargic and catatonic stupor during interactions. There are
also times that she was restless where she cant remain still. She has also hand tremors
which were involuntary, purposeless rhythmic movements.
C. ORIENTATION
The client was well oriented on date, time, place and reality. She can relate to past
experiences and able to organized ideas and thoughts related to her present condition. She
know and aware that she was at the National Center for Mental Health.

D. AFFECT AND MOOD


The client show appropriate affect with regards to a certain situation. But
sometimes, she suddenly change in expression of mood and this makes hard to identify
whether she was on stated condition and willing to cooperate and interested with the
interaction. Sometimes, there was an alteration of the affective state of the client which
was inappropriate and contrary to her feelings and emotions.
E. THOUGHT PROCESS AND CONTENT
Even the client was at the center, she has a normal and logical thought process.
What she uttered was meaningful and with sense. She didnt use confabulation nor
circumstantial. She can easily catch up what the interviewee mean and answer relevant to
the questions.
F. MEMORY, PRESENT AND REMOTE

The client good memory but sometimes she had lapses. She can recall and
remember her past experiences and important events and people in her life. What were
discussed in the previous days were recalled which were integrated on the present
scenario on the interaction.
G. JUDGMENT
The condition of the client only started when she was on her early adulthood.
Therefore, it doesnt mean that she can not make decisions on its own for she was at the
center. She can formulate and think of other alternatives which later beneficial for solving
her own problems.
H. INSIGHT
The client was knowledgeable and aware of her condition that she was at the
national center for mental health. She knows the state of her illness being manageable
and how was the progression with regards to her rehabilitation and in response to
medication regimen and psychotherapies. She was able to respond of what was going on
and can comprehend appropriately.
I. INTELLECT
She has a good sense of reasoning but it was limited. She was able to pinpoint and
defend her answers but if asked for the main reason why she was at the center, she cant
answer directly.
J. COPING MECHANISMS
The client has good pattern in handling stressors that arises in her life. Since she
was able to formulate ideas and alternatives in order to divert her attention her problems,
she just did her responsibilities at the center and just enjoyed the therapies especially
during plays for her not to think or not be bothered by her problems even in a short period
of time.
K. DEFENSE MECHANISM
In the case of my client, she used denial as a defense mechanism. In the reason
why she was at the center, she elaborated that she only wanted to rest because she was
already tired and exhausted, but in fact, shes been hostile and doing unacceptable
manner. In some of the activities that were done, the client never excels in such, but
became a winner in the play therapies; therefore she was compensating on her actions
that was not succeeded on her part. And one thing also that I noticed was that, she tend
and often said that her attitude of mumbling and rattling of speech was due to limited

visitation by her family. Shes blaming and concluding that her physical handicap was
due to that event and it was a defense mechanism called conversion.

PSYCHOPATHOPHYSIOLOGY

A. PSYCHODYNAMICS
According to Freud, schizophrenia is a form of regression, back to the oral stage of
development. The oral stage is the first stage of psychosexual development. A baby is born
a bundle of id; ID is self-indulgent and concerned only with a satisfaction of his/her needs.
There is a need to gratify these impulses but their experiences in the real world result in
conflict. People with schizophrenia are overwhelmed by anxiety because their egos are not
strong enough to cope with id impulses. In schizophrenia, this can lead to self-indulgent
symptoms such as delusions of grandeur, Jesus Christ. As the patient is still living in the real
world, this may result in further DELUSIONS such as hearing voices which may have an
ultimate authority such as God.
This explanation suggests that schizophrenia has a psychosomatic cause the origin is
solely in the mind. At best it could only be a partial explanation of some symptoms, e.g.
delusions. In reality, Freud is denying the very experience of patients with schizophrenia. It
is unscientific and extremely difficult to test. Concepts such as repression are difficult to
observe and measure, although this difficulty does not invalidate the theory. The theory is
based on unrepresentative samples, case studies, from which it is difficult to generalize. And
it involves poor methodology. The theory fails to account for gender differences - the onset
for males is around 20 years, and for females 30 years. Nor does the theory explain why,
prior to diagnosis, their behavior has appeared normal. Further more, it excludes a
consideration of the environment.
Dysfunctional Families
This explanation suggests that schizophrenia is the result of dysfunctional families. In
contrast to the biological or medical approach which may be regarded as more humane,
attaching no blame to the individual, this model by implication is attaching blame to the
family. BATESON (1956) claimed that parents predispose their children to schizophrenia by
communicating in double binds. Double binds are a no-win situation for the child, e.g. a
parent might complain about a child, lack of affection, but when the child does give
affection, s/he is told that s/he is too old for that. BATESON used the term double bind to
explain these ideas of contradictory messages.

Emotions and Environments

Support for this view comes from the work of BROWN (1966) who examined the
progress of patients with schizophrenia discharged from hospital. BROWN found that those
patients who came from families characterized by high expressed emotion (high conflict,
constant interference) were more likely to return to hospital in a shorter period of time. 58%
of patients returned to high EE families experienced a relapse compared with 10% returning
to low EE families. The implications of this research are that the environment has a
significant role to play in the course of the development of schizophrenia. However, the
direction of causation is unclear, it may be that living with a person with schizophrenia is
causing hostility and high expressed emotion within the family. Alternatively, it may be the
family that is causing the relapse. The effects of stress on the immune system and on the
incidence of disease and illness are well-known. If stress has a role in physical illness, it may
well have a role in mental illness.

Cognitive Deficits

Also, it may be noted that schizophrenia is characterized by cognitive deficits,


disorganized speech, hallucinations, delusions, and a cognitive model focuses more tightly on
these deficits. Deficits in information processing may leave people vulnerable to the
behaviors typically seen as symptoms of schizophrenia. The cognitive approach tends to be
descriptive rather than explanatory and tend to use the biological model to explain the origin
of schizophrenia. Research does suggest that people with cognitive deficits are highly
susceptible to stress.

Diathesis-Stress Model

The diathesis-stress model combines biological and genetic factors with levels of
stress. Diathesis refers to a predisposition (innate) and the stress is environmental (nurture).
This model suggests that mental disorders are the result of an interaction between nature and
nurture. Finnish study revealed that none of the adopted children raised in healthy families
developed schizophrenia, but 11% in severely disturbed families went on to do so. The bio-

psycho-social approach is a more eclectic approach to studying and understanding


schizophrenia.
The idea that schizophrenia is the result of schizophrenogenic families is based on
retrospective studies and may be unhelpful and highly destructive. Today, high expressed
emotion families which are hostile, critical, and over-involved, are seen as maintaining
schizophrenia rather than causing it. However, it should be noted that many patients with
schizophrenia are estranged from their families. It does seem as if there is a role for
attributions of relatives. Weisman (1998) found that relatives who tend to attribute positive
symptoms and delusions to a person mental illness do not hold them accountable. Relatives
attributing negative symptoms tend to become angry and critical. There are higher relapse
rates in families with highly critical attributions

Biological/Medical Model: Genetic Influences

This model suggests that schizophrenia is rooted in our physiology and is treated as a
disease or illness. The model operates at the level of genes, brain structure, brain chemistry,
hormones, and disease/illness. Schizophrenia has a tendency to run in families. First degree
relatives
are
18
times
more
at
risk.
However, family studies are conducted using interview techniques. Interviews are
retrospective involve looking back at the past and our memories are often inaccurate.
Interviews are also subjective based on opinions and interviewees do not have the benefit of
diagnostic criteria. Furthermore, family history studies fail to separate genes and
environment.

This suggests that genes do play a significant role in schizophrenia. However, the
concordance rate is not 100%. There remains the problem that Tienaris study is ongoing and
the critical period for the onset for females has only just been reached. These figures are
likely to be underestimates as the figures fail to include information about the biological
father. Genes do not operate in isolation and are linked to brain chemistry

Brain Chemistry

This level of explanation would suggest an imbalance of neurotransmitters or


chemical messengers in the brain. The dopamine hypothesis suggests that schizophrenia is a
result of excess levels of dopamine in the brain.

The evidence for this hypothesis lies in the fact that phenothiazines reduce symptoms
of schizophrenia. They inhibit levels of dopamine activity. L-Dopa is a synthetic dopamine
releasing drug which induces the symptoms of schizophrenia. Also, Parkinsons disease,
shaking of limbs are common side effects associated with the effects of anti-psychotic
medication. Parkinsons disease is associated with low levels of dopamine. Further support
for the dopamine hypothesis comes from studies of amphetamines. These release dopamine
at the central synapses. They worsen the symptoms of schizophrenia.

B. PREDISPOSING AND PRECIPITATING FACTORS

The relationship between members of the family has a big relationship in the
development of the condition. Parenting in the early stage of life which the child seen during
those years, she may manifest and carried until shed grow up. As to the blaming of others for
problems and maybe a problem with authority figures. In this case, the person may be able to
be withdrawn and may not develop interpersonal or social relationships, she may also
vulnerable to stress as she never know what were the alternatives for the coping of her
problems.

Nature of work also predispose the development of the condition, if the person is
always ridiculed even she thinks that she did her best and her work is good but it has no
effect on his boss, feeling of guilt a and inadequacy and inferiority begins. Thats why, the
person maybe have fascinating effects that someday her boss would be please on what she
had done or maybe think of hostility against her boss.

Low Frustration Tolerance also a factor that triggers the development of the illness.
Like on the nature of work, she may not be able to cope up with the problems she may
encounter that makes her think of something that were not appropriate to reality and acts
contrary.

Severe Religiosity was also included as a part of the past social history of the client.
She was very active to her religion and she did anything for that her faith in god and to their
church may not be ruined. But one that predisposed was the wrong act of her mother that the
latter cause her to be rejected to their church. In this case, the client become hostile and
shows untoward behaviors towards other and towards self.

Since the client has well to do family, socio economic status has a lesser effect on the
development of her condition, but the main thing connected to it was the attitude of family
members like her father which is very mean and strict to them.

Other factors include the acquisition of influenza virus by the mother during the
second trimester of pregnancy. The virus may create maternal antibodies. In the fetus, there
become auto antibodies which an external source of developmental change. In this case, this
is a great factor in the development of adult schizophrenia. Others include trauma like head
injuries or diseases during childhood and substance abuse.

C. PSYCHOPATHOLOGY
Schizophrenia is a group of psychotic reactions that affect multiple areas of an
individuals functioning including thinking and communication, perceiving and interpreting
reality, feeling and demonstrating emotions and behaving in a socially accepted manner. This
condition causes distortion and bizarre behavior, thoughts, movements, emotions and
perceptions. This condition is usually diagnosed in late adolescence or early adulthood and
rarely manifest in childhood.

In relation to the predisposing and precipitating factors, the clients cause of illness is
severe religiosity, parenting (family relationships and attitudes towards other), low frustration
tolerance and the nature of work.
The onset of the symptoms usually occurs in the adolescence or early adulthood and
the onset can be gradual or sudden. Course of schizophrenia is variable and remissions may
occur. Some clients may recover completely. Some have chronic, unremitting disorder.
Schizophrenic clients have difficulty in perceiving reality and disturbances on ego. These
individuals have poor sense of identity as well as lowered self esteem.
The signs and symptoms which manifested by the client when admitted were
delusions (grandiose, jealous, persecution and reference), hallucinations (auditory and
visual), hostility, loose associations, disorganized behavior, social withdrawal and restricted
emotions.

enjoyable mans.
3. To promote diversion from usual routinely experienced by the client in
favor of a more dynamic activities.
4. To promote cooperation and sportsmanship
5. Allow free expression of feelings and thoughts.
The first activity was not actually a game but we made it as a part of
getting to know each other, it was an action song Kumusta Ka. First, the
facilitator explains the mechanics of the game. That first, we will sing the song
and then turn to the other client until the student nurse will be able to reach her/his
partner. Then, the student nurses will kept their name tags and each client will
name five of them, the client who will be able to name five will be given a price.
The second game was Hep Hep Hurray, as a general rule, the client who
will not be able to follow the direction will be out, and only one client will be the
winner and have a grand prize while each client was given a consolation prize.

The third game was also an exercise which we made it as a game, the
lean forward, and lean backward. The song was sung the student nurses
together with the client. Each client will be sitting and follow the action. A client
who will not be able to follow will be out of the game. The song was sung faster
and faster until only one will be left and never committed a mistake, she will be
declared as the winner.

INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS:


With this therapy, the client showed interest and became a winner at one
game, the Hep Hep, Hurray. She showed competitiveness and very active. This
time, she said that this activity weve done was a good diversional activity for her
to forget her problems.

2. To release past trauma in life unconsciously.
3. To interpret psychological drawing
4. To discuss emotional problem and to give reasons and ideas regarding
such problems
5. To develop interpersonal relationship
During this activity, we gave each client one bond paper and a set of
crayons. Then, we played a happy and fast music. We let them draw what they
feel and later they interpreted it. Secondly, with the set of crayons and another
bond paper, we played a sad and slow music and we let them also draw what they
really feel. Since my client has hand tremors, she was not able to finish her
activity until the song had finished, so we played again the song until all of them
were finish doing the activity.

INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS:


My client had drawn a grain which she said symbolizes as the main source
of food. And she also added that she misses her grandfather who was a farmer
before. During the sad music, she had drawn a mango and papaya fruit which she
explained that she miss to eat those fruits, because of long rehabilitation she was
not able to have and eat those favorite fruits of her.

4. BIBLIO-THERAPY - Use of literature, film or feature on creative writing with


group discussion to promote self-acknowledgement and inter action of thoughts and

books into human character, personality and behavior
2. To provide stimulus for the memory to compare events with their own
interpersonal and intra psychic experience.
3. To increase level of understanding with information from the reading
materials.
In this therapy, we used Bugtungan. We made ten riddles written in a
cartolina and each answer corresponding to each riddle was drawn in a bond
paper. One by one, each client read the riddle and picked the picture of the
answer. After they all answered, we gave importance each answer and we ask also
what they know about the picture. Each client was very willing to answer and the
activity was done smoothly.

2. To develop ability to communicate and share idea and experience with
others

VI.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS


As a result of the study and interaction of the client, the following conclusion are
being gathered and seen:

There is a great influence of the family and significant others in the


development and progression of the illness.

Severe religiosity can cause a disorder when really obsessed to the religious
affiliation itself.

Schizophrenia can be manageable with the aid of the family as the main
source of strength and hope of the client.

Clients who develop this kind of disorder have a connection to their


development task which were unmet that makes them vulnerable to stress.

In relation to their treatment, psychotherapies were used for the rehabilitation


and will prepare the clients for their recovery and readiness to face challenges
when they go outside the center.

In relation to the management and interventions, close monitoring and


guidance were important for the safety of the client especially for the
recurrence of the signs and symptoms of the illness.

The following are the recommendations:

Constant visitation should be done to the client in order for them to feel
valued and cared by the family.

Close monitoring should be done to client in order not to develop the


recurrence of symptoms which are harmful to them and to other clients.

Therapeutic communication should always be used and observed for clients


not to be offended for they were already at the rehabilitation area, they have
absolutely feelings to be hurt and may feel rejection.

NARRATIVE REPORT

July 06, 2009


It was the first day of our duty at the National Center for Mental Health. To be
honest, I was so nervous. The time when our service van entered the gate of NCMH, my
heart beated so fast and I begun trembling because it was the very first times I entered in
a mental hospital and soon dealing with clients with different type of disorders.
We waited in front of PAGASA Hall when we arrived. We waited for the
orientation program to start as a part of the routine before starting our exposure at the
institution. We saw lots of students from different schools that will also have their
affiliation in the said institution. As we finally entered the hall, the anxiety I felt lessened
because of the accommodating speakers like Mrs. Lucila o. Espinoza, the chief nurse.
She was so good in speaking. She did talk about therapeutic techniques and therapeutic
communications. The second speaker talked about the history of NCMH and the
orientation was done smoothly. After the orientation, we went to our designated Pavilion
together with our clinical instructor, Mrs. Myra P. Locquiao. She was good and very
vocal. We were assigned to Pavilion 10 at the Rehabilitation area and I think we were so
lucky because we had already a good teacher, and at the same time we had a good
ambiance. We didnt yet get inside the ward but wed already seen the place were we are
assigned. The day and the time had gone fast and we went home after a very exciting day.
And from the endeavor we had that day I can say that I learned a lot!
July 07, 2009
It was the second day of our duty at the National Center for Mental Health. This
day, we had our Self-Awareness. One by one, we shared our experiences in life, our
weaknesses and strengths, our limitations and our goals in life. Most of us cried because
we were able to recall some of our painfull experiences in the past. We finished the selfawareness with a half day session, just in time for us to have our break for lunch.
In the afternoon, our Clinical Instructor gave us some briefing before we entered
our assigned pavilion. At first, I was not at ease during our first time to enter, but as time
passed by, my anxiety was relieved. Finally I met my client. Her name was Charito. Shes
nice and friendly. We had our orientation for a short period of time because our stay
inside was limited during that time. Since we were assigned at a rehabilitation area, it was
easy with us to mingle with our clients because they are already manageable. The notion I
had that the clients are harmful was changed because of the way the clients accepted us.
We ended our interaction and we went home with smiles on our faces.

July 08, 2009


It was a pleasant Wednesday morning. The day came to spend our whole day stay
at the Pavilion 10 where we were assigned. It was a busy day for us and to our clients. As
I observed during the activities inside the area, all clients were so active and participative
with the activities. Later on, we watched and observed for remotivation therapy, what to
be done and what to be discussed. It was demonstrated by a staff and it went so good
because of the willingness and active participation of the group. The discussion was all
about vegetables, what they get from them and how to make different things out from
vegetables to make them beneficial to our healthy living. It was exciting and
remembering because of the very bright ideas the clients have. After the activity, we had
a follow up sharing about the activity and went out from the area.
At exactly 1:00 PM, we entered the area together with our instructor and
interacted with our clients. After a while, we gathered and went as a group at the pantry
for our next activity. We started with an exercise in order to boast up their energy and
motivate them. Our activity was music and arts. I, together with Delmar facilitated the
activity and as a warm up, we asked them what they know about music and arts therapy
and I couldnt believed that everybody wanted to answer. First, we played a fast music
and we let them draw what they felt while listening to the fast music and afterwards, one
by one explained their works. Secondly, we also played a soft and sad music and we let
them also draw what they feel and think when they heard a sad music and later on, we let
them also explained individually. We ended up the activity with their snacks and the
activity gone smoothly and also we enjoyed it and I learned a lot including the mechanics
and what to do consider in order for the activity to be interesting and memorable to our
clients.

July 09, 2009


It was already our fourth day of duty at the Pavilion 10. We joined their flag
ceremony and exercises and had a short interaction with our clients. I was so happy
because my client had a good mood for the day, she evenly sung a song for me and in
return, I did it too. I observed to my client that she always singing a religious song
whenever I talked to her about singing and music. In the afternoon, I was shocked how
my client turned to have an untoward action for she said that she will be discharged. She
dressed up and ready to go home. After a few minutes, and maybe realizing that she will
not be discharged, we changed her dress with their usual dress at the Pavilion joined our
activity, and this time, the activity we had was play therapy. We played the Hep Hep
Hurray, Kamusta Ka, and Lean Forward. It was so funny because I didnt expect that all

of them were competitive even the other clients who were very silent and rare to talk.
They were willing to get the prize and declared to be winners. And one more thing was,
when we played the lean forward, we even tend to give up because as we sung the song
and became faster and faster, our three competitors were very good and no one ever to be
a loser, so thats why we declared the three of them to be winners after a very long rally.
It was an overwhelming experience and I was happy again because of what had happened
even were a little bit tired, at least, we had given them happiness and we gave our best
for them feel that they were also people who were longing for happiness.

It was our last day or the first week of our duty at National Center for Mental
Health. And it was an interesting day for me for I will be given a chance again to discover
more about the reason why my client was brought to the center. In the early morning, we
joined them on their flag ceremony and their exercises. I was little bit embarrassed
because sometimes I was not able to follow their steps for I admit that I was not a good
dancer, but even just like that, I enjoyed and I hope that it would be beneficial for me to
enhanced my dancing skills.
After our clients had finished the necessary things they were doing everyday, I
had my interaction again with my client and a little while, wed went to the pantry for our
next activity. This day, the activity weve done was one of the forms of bibliotherapy, it
was Bugtung-bugtungan. We prepared ten questions and all the answers were drawn and
they only picked the answers. Each answer of the corresponding riddles were given
importance by asking the clients what they think about and from this activity, I learned
that this form of therapy will give the clients to explore more and express their own
feelings as we dig more about their lives. We ended up with snacks and gave them
rewards for their active participation.
In the afternoon, we did not enter at the area for we had our discussions and
evaluated the activity we had in the morning. As we all know that evaluation was very
important in order for us to know our weaknesses and what to be improved for the
betterment of the succeeding activities to be done. Wed go home with good smiles on
our faces as we remember our clients.

It was not a good Monday morning for it was raining very early. The journey to
Pavilion 10 continued as we go to our duty. As we waited for the flag ceremony, we

cutted out the necessary materials needed for our first activity this morning, art therapy.
For this activity, we prepared cut outs for them to form and this would enhance their hand
coordination for their roper manipulation and placement of every cutted parts for the
activity.
Since the rain stopped pouring for a while, we entered our designated area and
interacted with our clients and joined them on their routine activities like the flag
ceremony and their daily exercise and after, we proceeded to the pantry for their activity.
Since it was an art therapy, it was simple and meaningful even we have our companion
school at the pantry, we ended our activity successfully and the output od each client was
a butterfly and a flower. As a summary and generalization of what they have done, we
asked them their interpretation of the activity and what they felt while doing the activity.
They shared their ideas and expressed their feelings. I had the chance also to interact with
my client and followed up our activity and she told me that it was her first time to do that
activity and cited that she was happy because she had her name and the corresponding
student nurse in the activity and she misses to see butterflies especially during her
childhood years. I learned that doing this kind of activity, we were given the chance to
explore more about our clients and give them the chance to recall their happy moments in
life.

A good and pleasant Tuesday morning. It was the time we observed socialization
activity from other schools but before that, I had an interaction with my client. This gave
me the chance to know more about my client and had a follow up on the things she had
done and I had noticed especially her attitude upon seeing the breastfeeding mother
during our activity with riddles. And out from this, she stated that she was unconscious
on what she had done and remembering her children because she didnt have the chance
to breastfed her children during their childhood years.
In the afternoon, we had our chart reading. Here, I had seen the true condition of
my client. On the things she had stated during our interaction, almost all of them were
correct but she didnt elaborate much of the true reasons why she had been on the center
for several years. I also discovered that she was religiously disturbed because of the cues
she uttered during her stay at the center and during the onset of her condition and this was
maybe the reason why she was at the center right now. She was been to the center for
fourteen years but not consecutively. She was able to go out and be together with her
family but later on go back to the center again. I ended the day with having so many
questions on my mind why there are people having those kinds of problems and how
their own family surpass and cope up with the situation.

Its Wednesday again, and only two days left for our stay at the National Center for
mental Health. This day, we had our music therapy. We sung the song together and one
by one, we asked them what the meaning of the song they had sung was. As a part of it,
we gave the time for our clients to show their talents, they sung after the other and so
with the student nurses. After all, we gave them their prizes as we promise for their active
participation during the art and bibliotherapy.
In the afternoon, we had our reporting by twos. We presented our reports and our
clinical instructor had her questions and the necessary supplementations. We ended the
day with bright ideas as she explained more and shared what she had.

The grand socialization day came. The day to say goodbye to our clients. The
time to share our remaining times we were together with different schools here in Metro
Manila. Since, it was already our last day at the institution, I learned a lot from here and
we hope that we had done our parts. Even though we had only short period staying and
dealing with our clients we had already developed trust between us student nurses ad so
with our clients. From this socialization, we hope still gave them happiness by means of
the presentations and games we prepared for them.
And this day I thought would be the most remarkable and embarrassing moment
during my stay at the national Center for Mental Health because of unfortunate things
that was happened before and during the socialization and not to elaborate further. This
time, we saw also our clinical instructors from different schools showing their singing
talents, and of course our clinical instructor also did her part. During my stay at the
National Center for Mental Health, I learned a lot, even though its hard to say goodbye,
but its a must. Before we went out form the area where we had our two weeks duty, we
gave out token for our patients as a sign of thanksgiving for their active participation and
cooperation and also to the warm welcome they had given to us.
