Furniture sales support disabled

BY BUYING pine furniture
at Capilano Mall between
Feb. 27 and Mar. 2, you will

encourage the work of
disabled adults and lend
support to the Mount Pleas-
ant Community Workshop.

The sheltered workshop,
sponsored by the Arbutus
Vocational Rehabilitation
Society, operates programs
to increase the employment
potential of .-mentally and
physically disabled adults.

The centre provides a sup-
portive environment for
clients to develop good work
habits, learn new skills and
make friends.

Handcrafted pine fur-
nituze, such as book shelves,
magazine racks, cabinets,
tables and blanket chests,
are sold at reasonable prices
to the public in displays at
shopping malls, such as
Capilano, or are sold direct-
ly through the workshop.

Heart research
is paying off

THE LIONS GATE
HOSPITAL Cardiac Early
Discharge Service is off and
running and has met with
good response from patients
and physicians.

The unique service, based
in the hospital's Medical Day
Centre, is the result of a
three-year research project
completed at Lions Gate
Hospital last year.

It showed that early
discharge of heart attack pa-
tients with no major com-
plications followed by a pro-
gram of home visits from a
cardiac nurse specialist
resulted in as good a recovery
rate as for. those patients
staying in hospital the
average length of time after
an attack.

Fifteen patients are now in
the service which was opened
in December under the direc-
tion of Clinical Director Dr.
Oswald Litherland and Car-
diac Nurse Specialist Allison
Rose, both of whom were in-
volved in the research
project.

Rose works with
hospital’s Coronary
Unit and the patients’ physi-
cians and sets up a schedule

the

of home visits for each pa- .

tient admitted to the pro-
gram. As a cardiac nurse
specialist he is trained incard-
iapulmonary resuscitation,
recognition of cardiac ar-
rythmias, and the operation
of a protable cardiac monitor
defibrillator.

A progressive exercise pro-
gram is tailored to the pa-.
tient’s needs and surroun-
dings and lifestyles. Frequent

Dealing
with
divorce

ALTHOUGH the divorcing
experience is not always ‘‘for
the worse’’, it can be stated
with assurance that even
when it is for “the better’’,
difficult problems related to
life changes occur for family
members,

In studies of psychological
and physical crises, findings
revealed that divorce and.
separation rank second and
third on the scale of
seriousness behind the ad-
justment to death of the
spouse.

Those changes include the

obvious: changes in living ar-
rangements, finances, child
care, social relationships, job
status, In essence, they add
up to total re-adjustment.
Some studies which have
been done clearly indicate
that families undergoing

regular visits by the nurse
provides advice, guidance
and reassurance for the pa-
tient and the family in learn-
ing to cope with the effects of
medication, and the restric-
tions, alterations of daily
routines, and depression that
can accompany heart attack
recovery.

After six or eight weeks in
the home visit program, the
patient is tested for admis-
sion to the outpatient cardiac
exercise program at the
hospital.

The establishment of the
Cardiac Early Discharge Ser-
vice reinforces Lions Gate
Hospital’s role as a leader in
ambulatory care. The service
is an important link between,
the acute in-hospital care
given to heart attack patients.

Revenue from the pine
items is used to buy raw ma-
terials and equipment, and
to help cover operating ex-
penses. The workshop de-
pends on revenue from sales
to keep programs in opera-
tion.

Clients from all over the
Lower Mainland work out
of the workshop, including
North Shore residents,

Along‘ with i woodwork- 7

ing shop, the centre offers a
sewing and light assembly
work area and a janitorial
training program. Up to 46
individuals participate in
these programs, cither on a
full-time or part-time basis.
