Context/Topic: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most complex and least understood manifestations in the field of neuroscience. Through I. Bergman's film "Persona" (1965-in Italy 1966), the aim is to explore the dynamics of trauma as a disruption of the self and the use of silence as a barrier created to cope with pain. This thesis seeks to understand how nurses can react to this symptom, with a particular focus on postpartum PTSD. Objectives: The following thesis analyzes and addresses the phenomenon of silence in PTSD, indicating how nursing care is structured in all its possible nuances regarding this situation. The interaction and integration between medical theory and nursing sciences allows for a broader perspective on this phenomenon. Bergman's work, therefore, helps us better understand the underlying management of a patient with these symptoms. Methodology: A narrative review of the scientific literature was conducted through PubMed and Google Scholar, using keywords such as "Silence and PTSD," "Communication," "Nursing," "Therapeutic silence in PTSD," and "Postpartum PTSD." The most important texts and authors in the psychiatric and psychological fields (Peplau, Watson, van der Kolk) were included, along with a clinical case analysis containing an example of EMDR methodology to promote healing in a patient diagnosed with PTSD. In addition to online and text-based research, the PICO model was used. Results: The analysis shows that silence in a patient with PTSD is not a lack of communication, but a clinical issue that requires specific nursing skills to address. Bergman's film allows us to understand its various aspects, including the risk of excessive empathy between nurse and patient, the difficulties in nursing care, and the complex dynamics that can lead a person to isolate themselves from society as a whole. The complexity of clinical cases often overlooks the human aspect, naturally privileging the clinical aspect, implementing nursing and medical methodologies found in the aforementioned film. Essentially, all this allows us to have a 360° view of what is happening in the patient's psyche and of their anchor: the nurse. Conclusions: This thesis confirms the effectiveness of "Medical Humanities" in nursing education, enabling a better understanding of the skills needed to provide care that respects the patient's integrity and promotes overcoming the stress and isolation resulting from post-traumatic events.
Contesto/Argomento: Il Disturbo da Stress Post-Traumatico (PTSD) rappresenta una delle manifestazioni più complesse e meno comprese nel campo delle neuroscienze. Attraverso l’opera cinematografica “Persona” (1965-in Italia 1966) di I. Bergman, si vuole esplorare la dinamica del trauma come un’interruzione del Sé e l’uso del silenzio come barriera creata per far fronte al dolore. La tesi cerca di far comprendere come l’infermiere può reagire a tale sintomo con un focus particolare al PTSD post-partum. Obiettivi: Il seguente elaborato analizza e tratta il fenomeno del silenzio nel PTSD, indicando come viene strutturata l’assistenza infermieristica in tutte le sue possibili sfumature riguardo tale situazione. L’interazione e l’integrazione tra la teoria medica e le scienze infermieristiche, permette di avere una visione più ampia riguardo tale fenomenologia. L’opera di Bergman, all’uopo, aiuta a comprendere al meglio ciò che si cela dietro la gestione di un paziente con tali sintomi. Metodologia: È stata condotta una revisione narrativa della letteratura scientifica attraverso PubMed e Google Scholar, utilizzando parole chiave come “Silence and PTSD”, “Communication”,” Nursing”,” Therapeutic silence in PTSD” e “Post-partum PTSD”. Sono stati inclusi testi e autori di maggior riferimento in ambito psichiatrico e psicologico (Peplau, Watson, van der Kolk) insieme ad un’analisi di un caso clinico contenente un esempio di metodologia EMDR per favorire la guarigione in una paziente con diagnosi di PTSD. Oltre alla ricerca online e testuale è stato utilizzato il modello PICO. Risultati: Dall’analisi emerge come il silenzio in un paziente con PTSD non è un’assenza di comunicazione, ma un dato clinico che richiede determinate competenze infermieristiche per la sua trattazione. La pellicola di Bergman permette di comprenderne i vari aspetti, tra cui il rischio di un’eccessiva empatia tra infermiere e paziente, le difficoltà nell’assistenza infermieristica e le complesse dinamiche che possono portare una persona ad isolarsi dall’intera società. La complessità dei casi clinici spesso tralascia il lato umano privilegiando, come naturale, l’aspetto clinico mettendo in atto metodologie infermieristiche e mediche riscontrabili nella pellicola sopra citata. In sostanza, tutto ciò ci permette di avere una visione a 360° di quello che accade nella psiche del paziente e del suo punto fermo, ossia l’infermiere. Conclusioni: La tesi conferma l’efficacia delle “Medical Humanities” nella formazione infermieristica al fine di comprendere al meglio le abilità da adottare in un’assistenza che rispetti l’integrità del paziente che favorisca il superamento di stress e isolamento derivanti dal superamento di evento post-traumatico.
