SUMMARY:Kokua Mau Meeting February 2023 Compassionate Care and Evidence-Based Practice: Is it possible for them to co-exist?
DESCRIPTION:Compassionate Care and Evidence-Based Practice: Is it possible for them to co-exist?\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Thursday 2/23 for a presentation by Steven Ito our own Dr. Pat Nishimoto. \n\n\n\nSteven Ito\, FNP-c\, CEO Ohana Pacific Medical\, will be sharing about their innovative practice that combines home visits and a kupuna health clinic. They were using telehealth and telemonitoring before the pandemic and work with all health plans to address isolation\, lack of transportation and difficulties in accessing medical resources. Steven’s training in Family Medicine and clinical experiences in the Urgent Care setting led to his passion in specializing in Home Visit Based Programs for Kupuna.  To learn more visit www.ohanapacificmedical.org \n\n\n\nDr. Pat Nishimoto\, Oncology Nurse Specialist at Tripler for many decades and recently (kinda) retired. \n\n\n\nEBP has come to dominate in clinical practice – seeing research evidence as knowledge while silencing other conceptions of knowledge!  \n\n\n\n\nWhat happens when there is no known research on alleviating pain experience of a patient and he/she asks you about complementary medicine? \n\n\n\nWhat happens when we do not believe the patient’s story because it does not fit in an EBP frame of knowledge? Do they become invisible because we invalidate their experience? \n\n\n\n\nTo get ready for this interesting topic\, here is an updated lit review \n\n\n\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9116004/pdf/12904_2022_Article_942.pdf \n\n\n\nRegister in advance for the monthly meeting. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with details on how to join the zoom meeting. \n\n\n\nPlease join us for our Virtual Monthly Meeting on zoom\, to learn\, laugh\, mingle and network.

SUMMARY:Kōkua Mau Monthly Meeting November 2018
DESCRIPTION:Join us at our monthly meetings at our new meeting place at the Hongwaji at the Pali. \nIn November we will have and interesting hands on presentation about TFT or Thought Filed Therapy by Dr. Caroline Sakai. We hope you can join us for this special presentation. \nCaroline E. Sakai\, PhD is a clinical psychologist in private practice\, who was formerly chief psychologist at Kaiser Hawaii Behavioral Health Services. She’s deployed on trauma relief missions to New Orleans and Rwanda. She has published articles on Thought Field Therapy\, EMDR\, and domestic violence\, and her book “Overcoming Adversity: How Energy Tapping Transforms Your Life’s Worst Experiences – A Primer for Posttraumatic Growth”. See her website at www.tftcenter.com \nThought Field Therapy (TFT) is the original energy tapping methodology developed by clinical psychologist Roger Callahan. It is a self-treatment that utilizes the acupoints used in acupuncture and acupressure. TFT has been used effectively with posttraumatic stress\, trauma\, anxiety\, depression\, grief\, anger\, chronic pain\, phobias and many other conditions and symptoms. It can be done by tapping or massaging the acupoints\, and can be also be done by mentally focusing on the points once the treatment protocols are mastered. It is beneficial for practitioners who do the treatment on themselves while the client does the treatment on themselves\, and both experience the benefits. Caretakers can do the treatments as bilateral massage of the acupoints on the patient. TFT protocols can be adapted for very young children\, people with cognitive or other serious challenges\, as well as infants and animals. \nWhile there are various levels of treatment\, the basics can be learned readily and Caroline will demonstrate and teach examples focused on our ‘Ohana working in palliative care settings. \nThurs. Nov 29\, 2018\n3pm-5pm\nHonpa Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin\nMulti-purpose Room\, downstairs\n1727 Pali Highway\nHonolulu\, HI 96813 \nPlease access to the temple campus is from driveway off Lusitana Street\, not the Pali Highway.
