Download or read book Ageing with Disability written by Jeppsson Grassman, Eva and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to address the issue of ageing after a long life with disability. It breaks new ground through its particular life course perspective, examining what it means to age with a physical or mental disability and what the implications are of 'becoming old' for people who have had extensive disabilities for many years. These people may have had to leave the labour market early, and the book looks at available care resources, both formal and informal. Ageing with disability challenges set ideas about successful ageing, as well as some of those about disabilities. The life course approach that is used unfolds important insights about the impact of multiple disabilities over time and on the phases of life. The book highlights the meaning of care in unexplored contexts, such as where ageing parents are caregivers or regarding mutual care in disabled couples. These are areas of knowledge which have, to date, been totally neglected.

Download or read book Hamilton Stark written by Russell Banks and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamilton Stark is a New Hampshire pipe fitter and the sole inhabitant of the house from which he evicted his own mother. He is the villain of five marriages and the father of a daughter so obsessed that she has been writing a book about him for years. Hamilton Stark is a boor, a misanthrope, a handsome man: funny, passionately honest, and a good dancer. The narrator, a middle-aged writer, decides to write about Stark as a hero whose anger and solitude represent passion and wisdom. At the same time that he tells Hamilton Stark's story, he describes the process of writing the novel and the complicated connections between truth and fiction. As Stark slips in and out of focus, maddeningly elusive and fascinatingly complex, this beguiling novel becomes at once a compelling meditation on identity and a thoroughly engaging story of life on the cold edge of New England.

Download or read book De la perception de la maladie d Alzheimer ou des syndromes apparentes par les aidants naturels son impact au quotidien sur la prise en charge des patients written by Guyrette Tchepanvo Touohou-Demanou Tejioni and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction : La maladie d'Alzheimer et les maladies apparentées sont des pathologies chroniques et évolutives entrainant une perte progressive d'autonomie pour le patient. Il s'opère donc progressivement un transfert de charges de plus en plus important sur l'aidant : le fardeau de l'aidant. Notre problématique de recherche était de savoir si les connaissances de l'aidant au sujet de la maladie avaient une influence sur sa perception et sa gestion de la maladie au quotidien. L'objectif principal de l'étude était donc de décrire la façon dont les aidants naturels perçoivent la maladie de leur proche. Nous avons également cherché à identifier les connaissances et les sources d'informations des aidants au sujet de la pathologie de leur proche. Méthode : Etude qualitative par entretiens semi-dirigés auprès d'aidants naturels de patients déments dans les alpes maritimes (06). Résultats : 16 aidants ont été interrogés. La plupart étaient des femmes (81%) aidante de leur époux (75%). L'annonce de la maladie était toujours faite en présence de l'aidant. Celle-ci était suivie d'une réaction ambivalente, entre choc et soulagement. Les aidants naturels percevaient la maladie de leur proche comme une fatalité. Tous les aidants étaient informés par des médecins sur la maladie de leurs proches mais la majorité semblaient insatisfait des informations fournies, pas tant sur le plan scientifique qu'en ce qui concerne l'aide au cheminement dans le parcours de soin et les aides disponibles. Ils se tournaient alors vers d'autres sources d'information (livres, internet, revues grand public, autres aidants) pour leur éducation thérapeutique. L'apprentissage par l'expérience personnelle ou « apprentissage sur le tas » était également un élément important. Un champ important initialement non attendu et celui des attentes des aidants envers leurs médecins : Désir d'écoute, de compréhension, de conseil (en démarches administratives, démarches juridiques, aides financières, nutrition de l'aidant et du proche aidé, aménagement du domicile par prévention des conséquences de la maladie du proche aidé).Conclusion : Les représentations des aidants naturels concernant la maladie de leurs proches aidés étaient plutôt fatalistes. Leurs sources de connaissances étaient très diverses, souvent expérientielles. La place du médecin traitant était ressentie comme insuffisante, notamment concernant l'orientation dans le parcours de soin, en regard des attentes des aidants.
