Book excerpt: Pediatrics refers to the field of medicine concerned with the medical care of infants, children and adolescents. Integrative pediatric medicine is a branch of medicine that combines traditional medicine with complementary therapies supported by scientific research, primarily aimed at children and young adults. One of the most prominent clinical uses of integrative medicine in pediatrics includes the use of mind-body medicine treatments, such as biofeedback, guided imagery and hypnosis, for the management of pain. Another potential use for mind-body treatments is the reduction of toxic stress and its effects on children's health. The other areas include integrative approaches towards chronic illnesses, like bowel disease, cancer, arthritis, asthma and other conditions where conventional therapies are required but leave treatment gaps. These gaps can be filled with evidence-based integrative therapies that target lifestyle factors like sleep patterns, social support, dietary habits and physical activity levels that are frequently disregarded in the patients. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to integrative pediatrics. Its aim is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. This book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts.

Download or read book Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors written by Cheryl Krauter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently there is a crisis occurring in healthcare involving clinician burnout, emotional exhaustion, lack of inspiration, and loss of personal meaning. For clinicians caring for cancer survivors, these feelings are aggravated by facing the largely unknown realm of survivorship and the issues it brings to patients and clinicians alike. As the number of cancer survivors grows, psychosocial oncology clinicians are increasingly called upon to work with the long-term aftermath of a cancer diagnosis, which requires the capacity to address the emotional and psychosocial issues that are not part of a traditional medical education. Clinicians have plenty of textbooks, but fewer hands-on, interactive guides that teach these kinds of experiential lessons that can be used in their day-to-day work lives. This accessible workbook offers a way to think about these important ideas while providing a structure to implement humanistic clinical practices. Clinical skills, communication tools, empathy as a learned capacity, cultural humility, reflective and mindful exercises designed to increase relationship skills-all of these depend upon this mode of experiential learning, as it teaches useful practices and solutions in order to increase the efficacy and satisfaction of clinical work with cancer survivors and their communities. Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors: A Clinician's Guide and Workbook for Providing Wholehearted Care is a clinical resource for healthcare practitioners that presents person-centered care as an antidote to the distress both patients and clinicians face in cancer survivorship. It addresses questions of how to bring a humanistic approach and quality attention to the growing needs of patients in the post-treatment phase of a cancer diagnosis. As a workbook, it's both a guide and an applicable resource for daily clinical practice. It provides a needed structure for clinicians to help them reconnect with the meaningful aspects of their work. Designed for busy psychosocial oncology clinicians who may feel disconnected but don't fully understand why, this workbook addresses the need for a humanistic and pragmatic approach to the psychosocial issues that arise in their work with patients. Based on personal interviews with clinicians, written feedback from clinicians, and research describing the formidable demands facing professionals working in cancer healthcare, as well as the dangers of burnout, this is highly practical, interactive guide addresses the emotional and psychological concerns of both patient and clinician. This workbook will be a much-needed resource for humanizing cancer survivorship care. The book is presented in two parts: - Part I focuses on skillful means for providing humanistic patient care. - Part II offers clinicians pragmatic structures and methods they can start using with patients right away, and provides a humanistic clinical framework that benefits them both personally and professionally. Clinicians will gain: - Clinical skills vital to forming healing clinical relationships: - Communication tools to enhance effective collaboration, such as personal and professional boundaries, the essentials of a healing relationship, stages of the clinical interview, collegial collaboration. - Exercises designed for personal reflection and the implementation of the abovementioned clinical skills and communication tools. - Useful practices and solutions to increase the efficacy and satisfaction of their work. Written from the perspective of a clinician-survivor, Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors is about the healing power of relationship for both patient and practitioner as they negotiate the complex world of cancer survivorship.

This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complete guide to handling emotionally charged patient conversations with the empathy vulnerable people deserve The Clinician’s Guide to Empathy helps you approach tough conversations with patients in a new, more effective way—by understanding and recognizing their emotion and perspective, and then communicating that recognition clearly and without fear. The authors define empathy on an operational level—rather than a theoretical, scientific, or conceptual level—and provide the actionable advice you need to make empathy the central focus when faced with denial, questions about prognosis, existential concerns, difficult family dynamics, anger, and nonmedical opiate use. Each chapter, authored by an experienced expert in their field, is anchored by a story that clearly illustrated how empathy can unfold in the clinical setting. Vignettes throughout provide sample dialogue and specific examples of actual words to use in specific situations. Trained to solve problems, clinicians often have difficulty expressing empathy to their patients. This guide provides a new way of approaching that problem—not as a technician but as a fellow human being. Much more than a guide to breaking bad news or a brief overview of all communication skills, The Clinician’s Guide to Empathy is a must-read for almost anyone connected to the healthcare industry.
