This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il ne se passe des mois, voire des jours, sans qu’il ne soit question d’accidents ou d’incidents préoccupants qui surviennent dans le système de soins de santé et dont la population est victime. En y regardant de plus près, ces événements indésirables lèvent souvent le voile sur une forme de déshumanisation insidieuse existant comme risque latent dans l’écosystème des soins et des services. Par ailleurs, il ne se passe non plus des mois, voire des jours, sans qu’il ne soit aussi question des infirmières, de leur travail, de leurs conditions de travail, de leur formation ou de leur pénurie en milieu hospitalier. Pourtant, comme professionnelles de la santé, il est proclamé que : Les infirmières sauvent des vies ! Pour l’heure, est-ce que l’on sait réellement le pourquoi, le comment et à quel prix dans les conditions actuelles du système cela se produit-il ? Reconnaître l’humanisme inhérent « au prendre soin », à la valeur ajoutée de la qualité de présence à l’autre qui permet de mieux comprendre ses besoins, sa réalité et de solliciter sa participation dans son épisode de soins, peut fournir des pistes de réflexion utiles. Ces pistes fondées sur des écrits mettent de l’avant une humanisation des soins qui se construit notamment lorsqu’il y a cohérence entre l’essence de la pratique infirmière, l’organisation des soins et un environnement de travail sain. Un Caring infirmier visible et mesuré par des outils holistiques qui vont réellement inscrire le système dans un processus d’amélioration continue de la qualité des soins et une sécurité durable qui bénéficient autant à l’infirmière clinicienne, au système qu’à la personne soignée et à ses proches. Ce livre tire son originalité d’un argumentaire proposant un pragmatisme lié à une humanisation des soins incontournable pour atteindre des objectifs de performance à long terme dans un système de soins. Destiné aux étudiants et étudiantes en sciences infirmières de tous les cycles universitaires, il regroupe une documentation fondamentale, fort pertinente aussi pour toute infirmière en formation continue. Des notions telles que le professionnalisme, l’amélioration continue de la qualité des soins infirmiers, la sécurité durable des patients, l’expérience patient et la gestion de l’innovation en milieu clinique comme en gestion viennent notamment soutenir le modèle proposé de : Dynamique de gouvernance renouvelée par la gestion humaniste de projets©. Au Québec, comme ailleurs dans le monde, ce volume peut répondre aux enjeux qui entourent une pratique clinique générale, une pratique infirmière avancée ainsi que le développement de nouvelles connaissances par la recherche infirmière. Collaborateurs : Mamane Abdoulaye Samri, Lynda Bélanger, Sarah Drolet et Michèle Ricard.

Download or read book The Nature of Suffering and the Goals of Medicine written by Eric J. Cassell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised and expanded edtion of a classic in palliative medicine, originally published in 1991. With three added chapters and a new preface summarizing our progress in the area of pain management, this is a must-hve for those in palliative medicine and hospice care. The obligation of physicians to relieve human suffering stretches back into antiquity. But what exactly, is suffering? One patient with metastic cancer of the stomach, from which he knew he would shortly die, said he was not suffering. Another, someone who had been operated on for a mior problem--in little pain and not seemingly distressed--said that even coming into the hospital had been a source of pain and not suffering. With such varied responses to the problem of suffering, inevitable questions arise. Is it the doctor's responsibility to treat the disease or the patient? And what is the relationship between suffering and the goals of medicine? According to Dr. Eric Cassell, these are crucial questions, but unfortunately, have remained only queries void of adequate solutions. It is time for the sick person, Cassell believes, to be not merely an important concern for physicians but the central focus of medicine. With this in mind, Cassell argues for an understanding of what changes should be made in order to successfully treat the sick while alleviating suffering, and how to actually go about making these changes with the methods and training techniques firmly rooted in the doctor's relationship with the patient. Dr. Cassell offers an incisive critique of the approach of modern medicine. Drawing on a number of evocative patient narratives, he writes that the goal of medicine must be to treat an individual's suffering, and not just the disease. In addition, Cassell's thoughtful and incisive argument will appeal to psychologists and psychiatrists interested in the nature of pain and suffering.
Download or read book Living with Dying written by Joan Berzoff and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 940 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first resource on end-of-life care for healthcare practitioners who work with the terminally ill and their families, Living with Dying begins with the narratives of five healthcare professionals, who, when faced with overwhelming personal losses altered their clinical practices and philosophies. The book provides ways to ensure a respectful death for individuals, families, groups, and communities and is organized around theoretical issues in loss, grief, and bereavement and around clinical practice with individuals, families, and groups. Living with Dying addresses practice with people who have specific illnesses such as AIDS, bone marrow disease, and cancer and pays special attention to patients who have been stigmatized by culture, ability, sexual orientation, age, race, or homelessness. The book includes content on trauma and developmental issues for children, adults, and the aging who are dying, and it addresses legal, ethical, spiritual, cultural, and social class issues as core factors in the assessment of and work with the dying. It explores interdisciplinary teamwork, supervision, and the organizational and financing contexts in which dying occurs. Current research in end-of-life care, ways to provide leadership in the field, and a call for compassion, insight, and respect for the dying makes this an indispensable resource for social workers, healthcare educators, administrators, consultants, advocates, and practitioners who work with the dying and their families.
