Phase of Crisis

Subject: Medical and Surgical Nursing I (Theory)

Overview

Crisis situations typically go through three stages: shock, defensive withdrawal, recoil and acknowledgment, and adaptation and change.

Phase of Crisis

Shocks, Defensive Retreat

In order to prevent a change in the individual's level of functioning, the person uses repression in this situation and puts the incident and the intense emotions connected to it out of consciousness. However, in the future, if and when a crisis happens, the suppressed emotion might come to the surface and affect the emotions sparked by the new crisis. Because the feelings connected to the prior crisis were neither addressed nor resolved at that time, the current crisis may be harder to settle in such a scenario.

Recoil or Acknowledgment

In this, the victim may go through the different crisis phases, but when they get to phase III, they start using different coping mechanisms to get through the crisis. Better skills and problem-solving abilities are developed, which can be applied in a variety of crisis situations in the future.

Adaptation and Change

when it is vital to modify and adapt to new responsibilities and life patterns. Transitional points where people enter consecutive stages frequently cause instability. People must adapt their cognitive and behavioral patterns as well as the physical changes that come with development.

The degree to which people succeed in mastering these tasks depends on their prior successes, the presence of a support structure, the influence of role models, and the acceptance of their new role by others. Adolescence, marriage, motherhood, midlife, and retirement are the transitional phases or events that are most frequently noted as having an increased risk of crisis.
