[WS2-12] Psychodrama as a coping tool for the psychological burden of family physicians
Thu. May 16, 2019 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Room 11 (2F Room K)
Organizer/Speaker/Psychodrama Group Leader: Derya Iren Akbiyik(Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Research and Training Hospital, Turkey)
Occupatioanl stress, burnout and coping with the psychological burden of the illnesses are important and prevalent phenomena among family physicians. As they have fundamental responsibilities in patient care, it is extremely important that they feel well physically and psychologically. Carrying the burden of their patients’ illness in different aspects as a health service provider often cause serious difficulties in family physicians personal lives.
Psychodrama is an action method, usually conducted as groups, in which people carry scenes from their lives, dreams, phantasiess or makeup stories and share those with the other members to be able to express unexpressed feelings, reach to emotioanl catarsis, gain new understandings, increase awareness on specific issues, develop more satisfying behaviors.
The workshop is planned as a short psychodrama group work targeting to notice and cope with any kind of psychological burden which family physicians carry during their daily practice.
A similar version of this session was presented at 21st Wonca World Conference of family members in 2016 in Rio de Jenario/Brasil. The title was “The use of psychodrama group therapy in psrimary care against the burden of chronic illness either for the patients and for the physicians”
The workshop is planned to work with a group of health professionals (preferably family physicians) limited to 16-18 people and a psychodramatist group leader (workshop chair).
