This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La cronicidad y la complejidad en el proceso de enfermedad forman parte ineludible de nuestro ámbito sanitario actual. Es en este contexto, donde el profesional de enfermería se enfrenta de forma habitual a situaciones de sufrimiento, dolor e incluso de muerte. El paciente experimenta impotencia, siendo consciente de sus limitaciones y de su finitud, poniendo a disposición de enfermería sus cuidados. El presente libro está dividido en tres bloques cuyos contenidos, establecidos en la asignatura del mismo nombre, son imprescindibles en la formación del alumnado de Grado en Enfermería. El primer bloque incluye el tema de la muerte en el ser humano. Todo lo que vive ha de morir, es por tanto necesario: analizar la actitud ante la muerte en nuestra sociedad y reflexionar sobre si esa actitud favorece al profesional de la salud a cuidar y acompañar al paciente hasta el momento de su muerte. El empoderamiento del paciente dentro del sistema de salud queda plasmado en el documento de voluntades vitales anticipadas o testamento vital (VVA), como herramienta para la toma de decisiones del paciente. El segundo bloque trata sobre el proceso oncológico. Los índices epidemiológicos del cáncer indican que es y será un importante problema de salud pública en los países desarrollados. Conocer el impacto biológico, psicológico, social y espiritual de ésta enfermedad es clave para cuidar y acompañar al paciente y familia durante el proceso de la enfermedad. El último bloque recoge los cuidados paliativos y el duelo. Es derecho de toda persona tener una vida digna y una muerte digna. El impacto de una enfermedad avanzada ocasiona en el paciente y en la familia una situación de estrés y de vulnerabilidad. El profesional de enfermería debe valorar las necesidades de cada uno de ellos, y elaborar un plan de cuidados que den respuesta a estas. Además, durante éste proceso deberá de evaluar la posibilidad de un duelo complicado, para su previa intervención. Nuestra praxis debe ir dirigida a ayudar a que la persona viva la última etapa de su vida y sus últimos momentos con la mayor dignidad, así se dará por concluida su biografía.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Las unidades de cuidados paliativos proporcionan atención a pacientes con enfermedades crónicas terminales, como cáncer avanzado, enfermedades neurológicas, sida, insuficiencia hepática, renal, cardiaca y demencias, entre otras. El acto de cuidar a un paciente, es especial en su domicilio, no es una tarea sencilla; puede trastornar y causar desconcierto en la familia, especialmente en el cuidador primario: es decir, en la persona responsable de llevar a cabo la mayor parte del cuidado. La familia es el soporte fundamental del paciente, tanto en el cuidado físico como en el apoyo emocional y espiritual. Al mismo tiempo, es la receptora del sufrimiento del enfermo y, por ende, de su propio sufrimiento. La aparición de una enfermedad incurable en uno de los miembros es una situación que produce inestabilidad.El profesional de enfermería, como parte del equipo de cuidados paliativos, tiene la responsabilidad de brindar atención segura y competente al enfermo; su función fundamental es enseñar, orientar,asesorar y capacitar al paciente y a su familia acerca del cuidado integral, objetivo fundamental de la presente obra"--

Download or read book Perinatal Palliative Care written by Erin M. Denney-Koelsch and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is a first-of-its-kind resource that comprehensively covers each facet and challenge of providing optimal perinatal palliative care. Designed for a wide and multi-disciplinary audience, the subjects covered range from theoretical to the clinical and the practically relevant, and all chapters include case studies that provide real-world scenarios as additional teaching tools for the reader. Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is divided into four sections. Part One provides the foundation, covering an overview of the field, key theories that guide the practice of perinatal palliative care, and includes a discussion of perinatal ethics and parental experiences and needs upon receiving a life-limiting fetal diagnosis. Part Two delves further into practical clinical care, guiding readers through issues of obstetrical management, genetic counseling, neonatal pain management, non-pain symptom management, spiritual care, and perinatal bereavement care. Part Three discusses models of perinatal palliative care, closely examining evidence for different types of PPC programs: from hospital-based programs, to community-based care, and examines issues of interdisciplinary PPC care coordination, birth planning, and team support. Finally, Part Four concludes the book with a close look at special considerations in the field. In this section, racial, ethnic, and cultural perspectives and implications for PPC are discussed, along with lessons in how to provide PPC for a wide-range of clinical and other healthcare workers. The book closes with a look to the future of the field of perinatal palliative care. Thorough and practical, Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is an ideal resource for any healthcare practitioner working with these vulnerable patient populations, from palliative care specialists, to obstetricians, midwifes, neonatologists, hospice providers, nurses, doulas, social workers, chaplains, therapists, ethicists, and child life specialists.

Download or read book Compassionate Cities written by Allan Kellehear and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once it was difficult to see end of life care beyond conventional medical intervention, but hospice and palliative care introduced a more holistic approach, providing quality of life for the dying and their families. This ground-breaking work takes end-of-life care beyond these palliative boundaries, describing a public health vision that involves whole communities adopting a compassionate approach to dying, death and loss. Written by a leading academic in the field of death and bereavement, this text outlines the historical, political and conceptual basis of compassionate cities, providing a community development model for end-of-life care. Moving away from infection control and health promotion Allan Kellehear invites us to think of a third wave movement of public health, joining empathy, equality and action together as practical policies. Presenting a radical new perspective to death, ageing and public health, Compassionate Cities is essential reading for academics and professionals alike.

Download or read book Cancer Pain Relief and Palliative Care written by WHO Expert Committee on Cancer Pain Relief and Active Supportive Care and published by Technical Report Series. This book was released on 1990 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considers what can - and should - be done to comfort patients suffering from the distressing symptoms of advanced cancer. Prepared by nine renowned experts in oncology, neurology, pain management and nursing care, the book draws together the evidence and arguments needed to define clear lines of action, whether on the part of the medical and nursing professions or in the form of national legislation. Throughout, arguments for palliative care take their force from the magnitude of unrelieved suffering currently borne by the majority of terminally ill patients. Although methods for the relief of pain are emphasized, other physical, psychological, and spiritual needs for comfort are also included in the report's comprehensive recommendations. The concept of palliative care is explained in terms of its concern with quality of life and comfort before death, emphasis on the family as the unit of care, dependence on teamwork, and relationship to curative interventions. Subsequent sections concentrate on measures for the relief of pain and other physical symptoms, the psychosocial needs of the patient and family, and the need for spiritual comfort. A section devoted to ethics provides several important statements concerning the legal and ethical distinction between killing the pain and killing the patient, and the need to recognize the limits of medicine. ..". crammed with very valuable information ... an altogether excellent book..." - Family Practice ..". a comprehensive report on cancer pain relief and active supportive care ... a valuable reference for those specializing in cancer care and for the generalist caring for dying patients..." - Nursing and Health care WHO definition of palliative care
Download or read book Tackling Chronic Disease in Europe written by Reinhard Busse and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2010 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic conditions and diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Europe, accounting for 86% of total premature deaths, and research suggests that complex conditions such as diabetes and depression will impose an even greater health burden in the future - and not only for the rich and elderly in high-income countries, but increasingly for the poor as well as low- and middle-income countries. The epidemiologic and economic analyses in the first part of the book suggest that policy-makers should make chronic disease a priority. This book highlights the issues and focuses on the strategies and interventions that policy-makers have at their disposal to tackle this increasing challenge. Strategic discussed in the second part of this volume include (1) prevention and early detection, (2) new provider qualifications (e.g. nurse practitioners) and settings, (3) disease management programmes and (4) integrated care models. But choosing the right strategies will be difficult, particularly given the limited evidence on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. In the third part, the book therefore outlines and discusses institutional and organizational challenges for policy-makers and managers: (1) stimulating the development of new effective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, (2) designing appropriate financial incentives, (3) improving coordination, (4) using information and communication technology, and (5) ensuring evaluation. To tackle these challenges successfully, key policy recommendations are made.
Download or read book Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment written by Alberto Pilotto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the pathways of care from screening and case finding through to in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery. Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the prospects for future clinical service and research in this important field are examined. The book is very timely given the recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the growing international realization that older people are “core business” in many clinical areas where the role of specialist geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in their respective fields.

In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed.

In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.

Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.
