| [ Summary ] | Patients undergoing dialysis or suffering from chronic diseases have a tendency to diminish the value of themselves in terms of social, economic and family situations, and are likely to take offence, even from an unintended insult. In order to rehabilitate the mental condition of these patients, it is important to understand what is happening within their minds. Their state of mind should be closely monitored by the medical staff during treatment. Through this mirror-like reflection of the patient's mind, it is possible to lead them and let the patients themselves explore their problems and their possible solutions. The personalities of people are formed from the culmination of their past experiences starting at birth. These experiences include how they were cared for as infants, including oral communication. Furthermore, through social experience and the background of the period they live in, they may form a personality similar to their nearest kin. Everyone has their own background and their personality. Therefore, it is important when to trying to rehabilitate your mind to know and relate to your background and individual personality. |
