                                                                      Anger and it's Management

Anger is an emotional state of reaction, and every human being very often experiences it and its effects inevitably. Uncontrolled Anger can result in multiple somatic(physical), psychological disturbances and acute and chronic diseases as well. It can have severe and debilitating side effects on your loved ones, relationships and atmosphere of both home and workplace. There are many causes triggering anger. Some are due to physical stimulations such as external loud noises, tingling, heart palpitations or tightening of the chest, increased blood pressure, headaches, pressure in the head or sinus cavities and fatigue.  Mental factors such as insomnia, anxiety, depression etc.  Other factors include financial and relationship instabilities, over burden of responsibilities, unmet expectations and how an individual was raised as a child.  Research have shown the direct effects on the behaviour of a child and later as an adult of his/her parents' relationship between themselves and the child.

Anger will explode regardless of how hard we try to tamp it down. The true goal of anger management is not to suppress feelings of anger, but rather to understand the cause behind the emotion and express it in a healthy way without letting it get out of control.

Daily issues and continuous stress factors are not limited to our people, Rohingya. Therefore, it is important to understand anger, recognize the triggering factors and how to cope and manage them.

There are many strategic approaches to control one's anger.  Behavioural techniques and cognitive restructuring techniques are found to be effective methods in controlling anger reaction if practiced properly and systematically. Learning to control your anger and express it appropriately will help you build better relationships, achieve your goals; and lead a healthier and more satisfying life.

                                                         World Sleep Day 2021

Our physical and mental health are directly dependent on the quality and quantity of sleep that we get every day. The importance of this fact is underestimated leading to many preventable health conditions and diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Sleep deprivation can lead to Alzheimer´s disease in many people. Humans have not yet evolved to compensate for the chronic sleep deprivation many of us face.

Not only having less sleep hours can be dangerous for our health but even the change in sleep routine can increase the risk of cancers. Shift work involving disruption of normal sleep routines is currently classified as carcinogen by World Health Organisation.

On world sleep day, Rohingya Medics Organisation sheds light on the importance of sleep and few tips on sleep hygiene for healthy sleep.

The World Kidney Day 2021

On 11.03.2021, Rohingya Medics Organisation increases awareness on kidney/renal health to the Rohingya population worldwide.

Due to prolong persecution, the Rohingya in Myanmar and as refugees worldwide are confronted with many barriers in receiving treatments for chronic renal failure. Being unable to afford expensive treatments and facing severe movement restrictions many Rohingya end up with premature deaths in Myanmar. Even the Rohingya refugee population does not have fair access to the treatments of end stage renal failure in countries they seek refuge.

Rohingya Medics Organisation advocates for innovative campaigns on preventive strategies on renal diseases worldwide and recommends international donors and governments hosting refugees to invest in facilities to provide better access to renal care for this unique patient population with equity and solidarity.

Parenting Behaviour On Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse. 

 An Overview on Child Sexual Abuse, its trauma on children's brain development and how parents can play a pivotal role in prevention of child sexual abuse.

PREVENTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

Child abuse is a serious psychological and social concern and is common worldwide. Child abuse occurs in all forms of physical and/or emotional ill-treatment, sexual abuse, neglect or negligent treatment and merciless exploitation resulting in actual or potential harm to the child’s health (psychological, emotional, and mental), safety, survival, development, and dignity in context of the relationship of responsibility to oneself and others, inter-relationships, social norms, trust, and commitment.

Sexual abuse in children is a hideous criminal offence and this form of child abuse includes sexual relationship with a minor. Sexual abuse in children does not need to include physical contact between a perpetrator and a child. Sexual abuse among children is not always easy to identify or establish as fear is instilled in the victims of grave consequences. The perpetrator could be someone you have known a long time and trust, which may make it even harder to come into notice. As many as 93 % of victims under the age of 18 know the abuser. Physical signs can be bleeding or swelling in genital/perineal areas; bloody, torn, or stained undergarments and difficulty walking or sitting. Urinary incontinence, painful urination and defecation are among other most common presenting complaints. Frequent urinary infections are mostly diagnosed in the victims. Behavioural signs can be developing phobias and exhibiting signs of depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, expressions of suicidal thoughts, especially in adolescents. The victims have trouble in school, such as lack of concentration, absences, drops in grades and inability to build lasting friendships. They also suffer from nightmares or bed-wetting. The children return to regressive behaviours such as thumb sucking, self-harm, overly protective for their siblings and assume a caretaker role. They also shrink away or seem threatened by physical contact. Inappropriate sexual knowledge adds more stress to their abuse. The abuse has been linked to changes in the victims’ mental and behavioural development throughout their lives, putting them at risk of engaging in potentially dangerous behaviour in the future.

We all have an instrumental role to protect our innocent children from these perpetrators and preventing further harm to the abused children. Provision of further ongoing support and education to their individual families must not be forgotten.
