This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an excellent review of the development of self-care deficit theory and the use of self-care in nursing practice. Explanations of the various theories and theory terms are well done and written at a level that novice theorists can relate to. The authors demonstrate how self-care science can be fiscally and effectively applied to the care of patients/clients."--Doody's Medical Reviews Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Theory has been used as a foundation for nursing practice in healthcare institutions and as the basis of curricula in nursing schools for decades. This book explores the high-level theory of the application of Orem's Self-Care Theory, and how it can improve patient outcomes as well as cost-effectiveness of nursing care delivery. Written for nursing theorists, researchers, administrators, and graduate students, the text addresses the relationship of self-care theory and evidence-based care in nursing, and provides a solution to improving contemporary healthcare outcomes. The book is divided into three sections. Section one discusses the reason for the existence of the nursing profession, and identifies the performance of self-care. Section two covers three nursing practice sciences-wholly compensatory nursing, partly compensatory nursing, and supportive educative nursing. Section three offer suggestions on how health care organizations can incorporate this broadened perspective of what constitutes evidence based practice and on-going research methodology into every-day delivery of nursing services. Key Features: Includes case examples to illustrate the application of theory to nursing practice Provides a current, cost-effective resource for implementing Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory for effective evidence-based practice Builds the link between the application of Orem's Self Care Theory and improved patient and fiscal healthcare outcomes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s and 1970s, becoming a rock musician was fundamentally different than playing other kinds of music. It was a learned rather than a taught skill. In On Becoming a Rock Musician, sociologist H.

The book explores how bands form; the backstage and onstage reality of playing in a band; how bands promote themselves and interact with audiences and music professionals like DJs; and the role of performance.

Download or read book V cu de l insulinoth rapie chez les patients diab tiques de type 2 en m decine g n rale written by Dorothée Gras and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contexte: La prise en charge du diabète de type 2 est un enjeu de santé publique en France. Il existe un retard à l'instauration de l'insulinothérapie, faisant pourtant partie de la stratégie thérapeutique. Comprendre le vécu des patients sous insulinothérapie a pour but d'améliorer nos pratiques lors de l'instauration et le suivi de l'insuline. Méthode: Une étude qualitative par analyse thématique de contenu a été réalisée grâce à des entretiens semi-dirigés. L'échantillon de patients diabétiques de type 2, suivi en médecine générale, est raisonné diversifié. Les entretiens ont été menés jusqu'à saturation des données, avec triangulation des chercheurs. Résultats: Dix-neuf entretiens ont été réalisés. Les réactions à l'annonce de l'instauration d'une insulinothérapie n'étaient pas toutes négatives. Pour certains, elle était accueillie comme une alternative séduisante aux antidiabétiques oraux. La facilité d'utilisation du système d'injection, l'absence de douleur et la gestion facile du traitement étaient des atouts majeurs. L'insulinothérapie était jugée comme efficace et plus physiologique que les autres médicaments, avec également moins d'effets secondaires. Néanmoins, elle était parfois vécue comme un handicap, une rupture avec une vie «antérieure». C'était ainsi la prise de conscience de leur statut de patient diabétique. La relation des patients diabétiques avec leurs proches était souvent modifiée depuis le diagnostic du diabète, mais pas forcément depuis l'instauration de l'insuline. Ils étaient en effet impliqués dans le suivi des règles hygiéno-diététiques. Par contre, un manque d'informations des patients était retrouvé, notamment lors de l'instauration de l'insuline en ambulatoire. L'espoir en un avenir meilleur, était également remarquable. Conclusion : L'amélioration de l'encadrement des patients, par le développement de l'éducation thérapeutique personnalisée, devrait permettre à moyen terme, de pallier au manque d'information des patients. Il est fondamental d'inclure les aidants dans cette démarche éducative. En ayant une meilleure connaissance de leur maladie et de leur traitement, le vécu de l'insulinothérapie par nos patients ne pourra que s'améliorer.

This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Approche Centree Patient (ACP) est un concept permettant la realisation d'une demarche educative. Mais la question de son fonctionnement se pose en pratique clinique. Dans le cadre d'une etude exploratoire qualitative phenomenologique, une demarche educative DEADIEM a ete testee aupres de 10 patients diabetiques de type 2 inclus par 5 medecins generalistes pour en comprendre son fonctionnement. Elle comprenait l'exploration de la perspective du patient, une demarche explicative, des conseils hygieno-dietetiques adaptes, un objectif de comprehension commune avec le medecin et une evaluation a 3 mois des resultats. En confrontant les donnees du discours avec les modeles transtheorique et transactionnel par procedure de triangulation theorique, cette demarche a corrobore une dynamique d'adaptation coping, des processus experientiels et comportementaux favorisant ou pas des changements. L'etude a illustre l'interaction symbolique entre medecins et patients a travers les representations personnages que chacun se fait de l'autre, bloquant ou facilitant la comprehension commune. L'ACP est apparu comme un processus therapeutique systemique adapte a l'education therapeutique."
