Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De plus en plus connue du grand public, la maladie d'Alzheimer apparait comme une source d'angoisse pour la majorité des personnes. En effet, il n'existe pour l'heure aucun traitement capable de guérir cette pathologie et le nombre de personnes atteintes ne fait qu'accroître. Les principaux symptômes du patient ont un impact, non seulement sur son quotidien, mais également sur celui de l'aidant. L'aidant voit sa propre santé physique et mentale se dégrader car il se retrouve en première ligne dans la prise en charge de son proche qui sombre de plus en plus dans la dépendance. Le pharmacien est l'interlocuteur de proximité auprès duquel l'aidant peut faire part de ses difficultés, chercher du soutien et écouter ses conseils. Il sera orienté vers des aides humaines et financières qui faciliteront le maintien à domicile du patient en lui permettant de garder une vie sociale et de préserver sa santé.
Download or read book Les besoins et les difficult s des proches aidants de personnes g es atteintes d Alzheimer demeurant domicile written by Cindy Poulin and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette recherche à devis qualitatif porte sur les besoins et les difficultés des proches aidants de personnes âgées atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer demeurant à domicile. Elle explore le discours des proches aidants dans le but de mieux comprendre leur vécu particulier. Leur rôle, leurs difficultés et leurs besoins sont abordés et mis en relation afin de mieux comprendre comment leur vie s'en trouve changée. La recherche s'inscrit dans la perspective de l'interactionnisme symbolique en permettant de mieux comprendre pourquoi ces personnes maintiennent un rôle qui leur apporte tant de difficultés et de besoins. Les résultats apportent une meilleure compréhension globale du rôle des proches aidants tout en expliquant comment plusieurs aspects de ce dernier sont liés les uns aux autres. Les analyses démontrent que certains aspects semblent influencer les difficultés et les besoins de ces aidants, notamment leur âge, leur genre, le fait qu'ils occupent ou non un emploi et le degré d'avancement de la maladie chez le proche aidé. Le manque de temps, les difficultés liées à la condition du proche aidé et les difficultés liées à la prestation de services font partie des difficultés étudiées en profondeur dans le cadre de ce mémoire. Les résultats obtenus sont également mis en relation avec un instrument de mesure du fardeau pouvant être ressenti par les proches aidants: l'Inventaire du fardeau. L'analyse du discours au sujet de l'expression des besoins laisse voir que les proches aidants ont une vision peu précise de leurs besoins. De la présente étude se dégagent plusieurs pistes de recherche intéressantes afin d'éventuellement mieux répondre aux besoins des aidants en plus d'aborder certains aspects positifs du rôle de proche. Les discours analysés permettent d'expliquer, du moins en partie, les motivations des aidants relativement au fait de maintenir leur proche à domicile en dépit des nombreuses difficultés auxquelles ils sont confrontés.
Download or read book La relation Aidant Aid dans la maladie d Alzheimer written by Pierre Charazac and published by . This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le soulagement de la souffrance de l'aidant, qu'il soit enfant ou conjoint, relève autant du soin que de l'éducation et du conseil : il ne suffit pas d'informer les aidants sur la maladie d'Alzheimer et les aides dont ils disposent pour qu'ils surmontent leurs difficultés présentes et à venir. Deux principes sont à la base de cet ouvrage : La majorité des tableaux psychiatriques de la maladie d'Alzheimer sont issus d'une relation d'aide inadéquate ; Une grande part du fardeau de l'aidant n'est pas inhérente à son rôle mais appartient à sa personnalité et à l'histoire de la relation avec son proche malade. A travers des cas représentant les étapes et les difficultés les plus courantes de la relation d'aide, cet ouvrage apporte aux cliniciens et aux soignants les repères théoriques nécessaires à la guidance de la relation aidant-aidé, qu'elle se vive à domicile ou en institution.

Download or read book A Labour of Love written by Janet Finch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-24 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the realities of ‘community care’ – the unpaid care given by hundreds of thousands of women, often in their own homes – for children and adults who are handicapped or chronically sick, or for frail elderly people? Originally published in 1983, this book explores the experiences of such women and the dilemmas which ‘caring’ poses for them. At a time when most women needed to earn money from a paid job, how did ‘carers’ manage to juggle their caring and other domestic responsibilities, and what happened if they had to give up work? Against a background of government policies which favour care ‘by’ the community, the contributors to this book raise crucial issues for social and economic policy. Hilary Graham examines what caring really means and Clare Ungerson asks why women do it. Sally Baldwin and Caroline Glendinning focus on mothers with handicapped children and Fay Wright on single adults with elderly dependants. Alan Walker highlights the dependencies implicit in caring relationships with the elderly. Lesley Rimmer looks at the economic ‘costs’ of care, and Dulcie Groves and Janet Finch examine the invalid care allowance – a carers’ benefit for which married women can never qualify. In exploring the domestic sector of welfare, A Labour of Love was a highly topical contribution to the debate both on welfare provision and on the division of labour between men and women at the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology. This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine. Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research. It covers four main themes: novel modes of identity and identification, such as genetic citizenship the role of institutions, ranging from disease advocacy organizations and voluntary organizations to the state the production of biological knowledge, novel life-forms, and technologies the generation of wealth and commercial interests in biology. Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.
Download or read book The Postdivorce Family written by Ross A. Thompson and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1999-03-31 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With about one half of all marriages ending in divorce today, it is safe to say that nearly everyone will be or has been affected by divorce in some way. For many, it does not mean the end to a family. Focusing on the consequences of divorce for children, The Postdivorce Family examines the stressors that divorce can create; adjustment problems among children of divorce; the issue of resilience for children; and individual differences in the psychological adjustment to divorce. The authors also examine the parents′ responsibilities after divorce, including custody issues, child support orders, and nonresidential parenting. This book concludes with a section that explores the effects of a high divorce rate in society, including how the prevalence of divorce has changed the family form and structural factors that have contributed to various social problems. With this volume, the authors hope to incite analysis and reflection of the issues surrounding divorce and their implications for public policy. This book integrates the empirical research and policy perspectives of several scholars in various disciplines including psychology, sociology, human development, law, and social work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1987. The assumption about the purpose of education, to which the authors of this book subscribe, is that it is to produce autonomous lifelong learners. This book is about a very important goal of education and how it can be translated into practice. It concerns ways in which teachers in higher education can enable students to become more autonomous in their learning; that is, assist students to learn more effectively without the constant presence or intervention of a teacher.

Download or read book Action Research written by Jean McNiff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of this established text was published in 1988, action research has gained ground as a popular method amongst educational researchers, and in particular for practising teachers doing higher-level courses. In this new edition Jean McNiff provides updates on methodological discussions and includes new sections of case study material and information on supporting action research. The book raises issues about how action research is theorised, whether it is seen as a spectator discipline or as a real life practice, and how practitioners position themselves within the debate. It discusses the importance for educators of understanding their own work and showing how their educative influence can lead to the development of good orders in formal and informal learning settings and in the wider community. This second edition comes at a time when, after years of debate over what counts as action research, it is now considered an acceptable and useful part of mainstream research practice.
