CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE - "Ce manuel est une magnifique illustration de cette idée chère aux deux auteurs, Cécile Bolly et Michel Vanhalewyn : éthique et écoute sont indissociables. Pratique, précis, rigoureux, complet, ce livre a toutes les qualités pour devenir le fidèle compagnon de tous les médecins généralistes désireux d'accompagner avec cœur et compétence leurs patients en fin de vie." (Serge Vidal, psychothérapeute) A PROPOS DES AUTEURS Cécile Bolly est docteur en médecine. Elle s'est spécialisée sur le thème de l'éthique dans le milieu de la santé et encadre des formations pour sensibiliser le mieux possible les soignants à cette problématique. Michel Vanhalewyn est médecin généraliste et s'intéresse également aux questions d'éthique dans le milieu médical. EXTRAIT La douleur est le symptôme le plus fréquent chez les patients atteints d’un cancer, mais elle est présente dans de nombreuses autres maladies. En fin de vie, quelle que soit la pathologie en cause, la douleur est associée à d’autres symptômes physiques plus ou moins pénibles, ainsi qu’à une souffrance psychologique, sociale et spirituelle. C’est pour cela qu’on parle de souffrance totale. Il est capital d’être attentif à ce concept chaque fois qu’on est sollicité pour un patient qui a mal. Par ailleurs, il est important de se rappeler qu’elle peut évoluer sur un mode aigu ou chronique.

Written by a team of international experts, this pocket-sized manual identifies the needs of people affected by natural hazards, political or ethnic conflict, epidemics of life-threatening infections, and other humanitarian crises. Later chapters explore topics including pain management, skin conditions, non-communicable diseases, palliative care emergencies, the law and ethics of end of life care, and more.

Download or read book Palliative Care A Practical Guide for the Health Professional written by Kathryn Boog and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2007-10-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book encourages health professionals to reconceptualise their practice in the light of the fact that their patients are deteriorating and dying, supporting them in their dichotomous role which involves affirming that person's life whilst acknowledging that that life is ending. Professionals are encouraged to think laterally, to be creative in their use of their core skills, and to use their life skills and experience to change the focus of their interventions. By making these changes, those involved with caring for the dying will be able to address issues related to burnout and feeling de-skilled. The authors share their considerable experience with the reader - what works for both patient and carer/professional when working in this field. By providing workable solutions, they empower those in disempowering situations, such as when working with terminally ill children and adults. The book is truly holistic and client-centred in its approach, upholding the philosophy of palliative care. Aimed at all who interact with children and adults who have a life-limiting condition or who are dying Offers practical examples of approaches to dilemmas and emotional issues commonly face by those working in palliative care Encourages professionals to think laterally, to be creative in their use of core skills, and to use their life skills and experience to change the focus of their interventions Moves the emphasis away from the medical model to the emotional and spiritual influences on quality of life Offers clear, workable guidelines and demonstrates practical solutions, based on proven theory and experience, to problems encountered on a day-to-day basis by patients and those coming into contact with them
