Book Health Promotion in Health Care     Vital Theories and Research

Download or read book Health Promotion in Health Care Vital Theories and Research written by Gørill Haugan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access textbook represents a vital contribution to global health education, offering insights into health promotion as part of patient care for bachelor’s and master’s students in health care (nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiotherapists, social care workers etc.) as well as health care professionals, and providing an overview of the field of health science and health promotion for PhD students and researchers. Written by leading experts from seven countries in Europe, America, Africa and Asia, it first discusses the theory of health promotion and vital concepts. It then presents updated evidence-based health promotion approaches in different populations (people with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, elderly individuals, families with newborn babies, palliative care patients) and examines different health promotion approaches integrated into primary care services. This edited scientific anthology provides much-needed knowledge, translating research into guidelines for practice. Today’s medical approaches are highly developed; however, patients are human beings with a wholeness of body-mind-spirit. As such, providing high-quality and effective health care requires a holistic physical-psychological-social-spiritual model of health care is required. A great number of patients, both in hospitals and in primary health care, suffer from the lack of a holistic oriented health approach: Their condition is treated, but they feel scared, helpless and lonely. Health promotion focuses on improving people’s health in spite of illnesses. Accordingly, health care that supports/promotes patients’ health by identifying their health resources will result in better patient outcomes: shorter hospital stays, less re-hospitalization, being better able to cope at home and improved well-being, which in turn lead to lower health-care costs. This scientific anthology is the first of its kind, in that it connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory of health throughout the chapters. the authors here expand the understanding of health promotion beyond health protection and disease prevention. The book focuses on describing and explaining salutogenesis as an umbrella concept, not only as the key concept of sense of coherence.

Book A Comparison of Psychosocial Needs of Families of Critical Care Patients as Perceived by Family Members and Nurses

Download or read book A Comparison of Psychosocial Needs of Families of Critical Care Patients as Perceived by Family Members and Nurses written by Mary Jane Tyler and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examined the problem of lack of congruence between the perceived need of families of critically ill patients for psychosocial support and the psychosocial support critical care nurses perceived the family members to need. It was a Level II descriptive comparative study conducted during the winter of 1987. Subjects were volunteers and included 29 family members and 36 nurses. Family members were contacted by the researcher within seventy-two hours of the patient's admission to the intensive care, coronary care, or the neuro-surgical intensive care units. The nurse subjects were registered nurses working in the same three critical care areas. All subjects completed a modified form of Molter and Leske's Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Descriptive measures used to examine data included frequency distributions and measures of central tendency. Two tailed t-tests for independent means were used to compare responses of family members and nurses. T-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to examine differences in nurse responses according to selected demographic variables. The study's findings revealed: 1) family members ranked informational needs the highest; 2) nurses ranked honesty and communication needs highest; 3) approximately 44% of the needs were ranked significantly differently when family and nurse samples were compared; 4) one need was ranked significantly differently according to the educational level of the nurse; 5) male nurses ranked 6 needs significantly lower than female nurses; 6) critical care experience affected the nurses' sensitivity and needs rankings; and 7) family members and nurses stated that it was the role of nurses to deal with visiting and bedside needs and physicians should answer questions about care. Implications for practice include: the need for an assessment tool to provide family feedback into the health care system; continuing education for critical care nurses to increase sensitivity and awareness; and improved family orientation to the health care system"--Document.
