Abstract

Family physicians as gatekeepers in primary healthcare facilities must manage patients in a holistic and comprehensive manner, with a patient-centered approach. This case study focuses on a 61-year-old male patient with hypertension and cervical root syndrome, with risk factors including a sedentary lifestyle and ergonomically unfavorable work patterns. This report aims to provide an overview of patient management that considers not only the biological aspects but also the psychological and social dimensions. Patient-centered management is expected to reconcile the patient's perspective and spirit regarding the illness. This approach is crucial for family physicians to not only consider the disease diagnosis but also collaboratively work with the patient towards achieving management goals in line with their expectations.

Abstract

Bronchial asthma is a long-term lung disease that makes the airways swell up and changes how air flows. To manage effectively, it is essential to understand the host and environmental factors that aggravate diseases. This case study analyzes the interaction of genetic factors, environmental influences, and psychosocial stressors in a 46-year-old male with a ten-year history of asthma. Mr. I, who is 46 years old, is having a really serious asthma attack that is making him cough and making it hard for him to breathe. The cold air and stress at work often made matters worse for him. His mother and daughter both have asthma, therefore it runs in the family. Recent flare-ups show how hard it is for people with certain environmental and job-related risk factors to keep their asthma under control for a long time, even after being diagnosed and treated. The patient's symptoms show how hard it may be to deal with asthma. Cold air and stress at work are two key things that make it worse. He smokes at work, which makes it more probable that objects in the surroundings may hurt him. Functional Degree 1 means that the patient can take care of himself, but he needs to see a doctor since he is worried about his health and can't sleep well. To enhance his quality of life and avert subsequent flare-ups, it is crucial to implement a family-centered strategy that encompasses educating him on avoiding triggers and complying with both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatments. This instance exemplifies the necessity of identifying and mitigating specific environmental and behavioral triggers in the management of chronic asthma. A personalized treatment strategy and thorough education for patients and their families can considerably improve asthma control and maintain functional independence, especially in cases of chronic illness and severe risk factors.

Abstract

Acute gastritis, a prevalent gastrointestinal condition, is often affected by lifestyle and psychosocial factors, requiring a comprehensive approach in primary care. This case report highlights the presentation, contributing factors, and comprehensive management of acute gastritis in a young adult, underscoring the essential role of family medicine principles in this context. We present the case of a 30-year-old female translator suffering from acute epigastric pain, clinically diagnosed as acute gastritis. Her condition worsened due to irregular eating habits, excessive intake of spicy foods and coffee, late sleeping hours, and work-related stress. The patient's symptoms are consistent with known risk factors for gastritis, such as eating habits, caffeine consumption, and mental stress. Although pharmacological intervention alleviated symptoms, the reemergence of symptoms following dietary indiscretion highlighted the significance of non-pharmacological approaches. The Family APGAR score indicated that the family was functioning at a moderate level, suggesting areas where communication and support could be improved. Our intervention focused on patient-centered education, emphasizing lifestyle modification, stress management, and promoting family support. This case demonstrates that acute gastritis in young adults frequently arises from alterable lifestyle factors. Effective management extends beyond simply prescribing medicine. It also includes teaching them about their condition, encouraging them to adopt healthy habits, helping them manage stress, and providing support from family and friends, all of which are important aspects of family medicine.
