Sosyal Hizmet Uygulamalarında Beden-Zihin-Ruh (Tin) Müdahaleleri

Beden-zihin-ruh müdahalelerinin amacı, çeşitli tekniklerle bireyin bedenine, zihnine ve ruhuna yönelik farkındalık geliştirmesidir. Bu teknikler bireyin sorunlarının çözümüne yardım ederek, bireyin güçlenmesini ve olumlu yönde değişimini desteklemektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, beden-zihin-ruh müdahalelerinin neler olduğunun belirtilmesi ve sosyal hizmet uygulamalarında bireyin sorunlarının çözümüne olan katkısının incelenmesidir. İnsanlar yaşamlarının belli dönemlerinde sorunlarla karşılaşmaktadır. Sorunlar karşısında kimi zaman bireyin var olan baş etme stratejileri etkisiz kalmaktadır. Bu anlamda bireyin mevcut sorunlarının çözümünde bedene-zihne ve tine yapılan müdahalelerin birey üzerinde oldukça olumlu etkilerinin olduğu yapılan pek çok araştırmayla saptanmıştır. Beden-zihin-ruh teknikleri, sosyal hizmet, psikoloji ve hemşirelik gibi bazı alanlarda müracaatçılar ve hastalar üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada öncelikle bireyin bütüncül değerlendirilmesinde fiziksel, sosyal, bilişsel, duyuşsal ve tinsel alan kavramlarına yer verilmiştir. Daha sonra ise bu beş alanla yakından temas halinde olan beden-zihin-ruh teknikleri açıklanmıştır. Son olarak ise sosyal hizmet uygulamalarında beden-zihin-ruh müdahaleleri incelenmiştir.

Body-Mind-Spirit Interventions In Social Work Practices

The purpose of body-mind-spirit interventions is to raise awareness of the body, mind and spirit of the individual through various techniques. These techniques include helping the individual to solve their problems and supporting the individual's empowerment and positive change. The aim of the study is to determine what the body-mind-spirit interventions are and to examine the individual’s contribution to the solution of the problems in social work practices. People face problems in certain periods of their lives. Sometimes the existing coping strategies of the individual are ineffective. In this sense, it has been determined by several studies that interventions to the body, mind and spirit have positive effect in solving the existing problems of the individual. Body-mind-spirit techniques have been applied to clients and patients in some areas such as social work, psychology and nursing. In this study, physical, social, cognitive, affective and spiritual field concepts are included in the holistic evaluation of the individual. Then, body-mind-spirit techniques which are in close contact with these five areas are explained. Finally, body-mind-spirit interventions in social work practices were examined.
