Abstract

La 4ème de couverture indique : "Remerciés, applaudis, et enfin reconnus, les infirmières et les infirmiers sont les super-héros de notre époque. Chaque jour, contre les petites blessures ou les grandes épidémies, ces femmes - et ces hommes - bataillent au front, avec comme seuls pouvoirs leur savoir-faire, leur compassion et leur amour pour ce métier. Cet ouvrage, richement illustré, témoigne de leur engagement et retrace, au fil de l'histoire, l'évolution de cette profession devenue si emblématique dans l'inconscient et la culture populaires. Il se veut aussi rendre hommage à leur courage, et faire partager et mieux connaître leurs combats pour leur métier et pour leurs patients."

Abstract

Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Situation der beruflichen Pflege aus Sicht der Pflegekräfte in Rheinland-Pfalz nachzuzeichnen. Es soll die zentrale Frage beantwortet werden, wie die Pflegekräfte ihren Berufsalltag und die Arbeitsbedingungen in der Pflege wahrnehmen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Untersuchung der wahrgenommenen Arbeitsbelastungen, dem selbsteingeschätzten Burnout-Risiko, den eingesetzten Bewältigungsstrategien sowie der Arbeitszufriedenheit. Als Datenbasis dient eine Online-Erhebung unter den Mitgliedern der Landespflegekammer Rheinland-Pfalz (n=830) aus dem Jahr 2017. Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass die Pflegenden der Studie besonderen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind, die sich aus mannigfaltigen Faktoren ergeben. Beispielsweise aus einer zu geringen Personalausstattung und damit einhergehender Arbeitsverdichtung und zunehmendem Arbeiten unter ständigem Zeitdruck. Neben den Problemen und Risiken bietet die Arbeit in der Pflege aber auch Chancen, welche die hohen Risiken kompensieren und sich gesundheitsförderlich auswirken können. Hierzu zählen individuelle Ressourcen und ein gutes Bewältigungsmanagement. Die Studie liefert einerseits neue Erkenntnisse zur Situation der beruflich Pflegenden in Rheinland-Pfalz und stützt anderseits bereits bestehende Befunde zu den Arbeitsbedingungen und Arbeitsbelastungen in der Pflege allgemein. Die Autorin Mareike Breinbauer ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Zentrum für Allgemeinmedizin und Geriatrie der Universitätsmedizin Mainz. Forschungsschwerpunkte: Gesundheits-, Versorgungs- und Pflegeforschung, Survey Methodology, quantitative Datenanalyse, Online Surveys.

Abstract

This book informs and enlighten health professionals on how the recognition of fearing women can change their episode of care during childbearing. It gives practical advice on the way women present to services and the challenges that this invokes. This work is the first of its kind aimed at clinicians to deconstruct ideology around childbearing myths and its challenges. The authors review the evidence that exists and how modern maternity systems are responding to fear and shaping healthcare. Whilst some worry and anxiety is expected and indeed considered normal during childbearing, it has been suggested that this has now proliferated to a degree of abnormal for many women. Why is that and how is this panic spread? Media portrayal of birth is suggested as unrealistic material and to show only that which is dramatic and horrific. This has been considered as one factor influencing modern women. Medicalisation, technology and demand upon services is another consequence of providing almost all maternity care in hospitals. Given that the majority of childbearing women are fit and healthy is this another causative factor? By removing women from their homes and families at such a vulnerable time has a serious consequence for how she will experience her greatest leap of faith into motherhood. All of these issues are explored and examined in the book with ideas and practical suggestions of what may be done to change this increasingly common problem. This book is intended at midwives and clinicians working in maternity settings.

Abstract

This book considers the practical management of sudden death and offers first-hand reflections of how emergency physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals cope. Sudden death is one of the most difficult aspects of emergency care, and the traumatic nature of some deaths can be devastating for the family and the emergency team. This book shows how practitioners confront the sudden death and the essential steps taken to manage the event that may have a critical impact on the grieving relative. The book explores the unique interactions between emergency and allied health practitioners and nurses, those who grieve and, the body itself. By understanding what is involved in sudden death work, and the practical, psychosocial and spiritual tensions that arise from managing the event and sequel, it may be possible to provide a more responsive service. The book addresses sudden death from the multi-professional emergency and allied services perspective to guide either the seasoned practitioners or the new and apprehensive recruit. National emergency response systems have been strengthened to cope with the increasing trauma and disease burden which, for many unfortunate individuals, results in an immediate or swift death trajectory. This multidisciplinary teaching text uses first-hand detailed stories of sudden death encounters. By reflecting on these ‘happenings’ and illuminating on how specific events were handled, it is possible to build a picture not only of what sudden death workers ‘do’ when sudden death occurs but also how they feel about what they ‘do’. At the end of each chapter a series of activities will be posed to encourage the reader to make sense of their own practices when handling the legal and practical aspects and when supporting families and colleagues.

Abstract

This manual enables individuals working in children’s palliative care (CPC) globally to learn through engaging real-world cases. The aim is to provide a clinical case-based resource that is globally relevant and accessible to those working in CPC. Drawing on case histories from around the world that reflect key issues and elements of CPC, it provides a practical approach grounded in experience. It addresses multidisciplinary care in the management of children and their families; discusses cases from an international perspective, and shares examples from a variety of countries, utilising cases across a range of ages and conditions, demonstrating holistic care. It represents the first case-based manual on global CPC and is endorsed and promoted by the International Children’s Palliative Care Network (ICPCN). Children’s palliative care is a rapidly developing field, both in the UK and internationally. The provision of CPC varies considerably, with provision often being insufficient, and over 65% of countries having no recognised CPC service provision whatsoever. As such, while there are an estimated 21.6 million children who require palliative care, in many areas of the world, CPC is poor or non-existent, and children are treated like little adults without their distinctive needs being recognised or understood. There is also a dearth of literature on CPC, hence this clinical case-based manual fills a gap in the market, and is aimed at a global audience, making it a unique text in the field.

Abstract

This book discusses the current trends in nursing and healthcare in relation to the integration of information technological interventions across the care continuum. The use of such interventions in healthcare has increased rapidly in recent years, partly due to the rise in technological gadgets/applications used in daily routines (e.g. actigraphy bracelets, smartphones) and their unique properties that can be utilized in assessing, monitoring and managing a patient’s condition remotely. This book highlights the areas and the ways in which these interventions can facilitate patient assessment and monitoring and complement conventional treatments in the management of disease-induced or treatment-induced side effects. Furthermore, the book describes the development of such interventions and examines how they are designed to promote adherence and acceptance by the user. To this end, the book also discusses the need for personalizing the technological experience according to the user’s preferences and needs. Drawing on the latest studies in these areas, it not only provides suggestions for undertaking research in this context, but also offers insights into how these technologies impact patients’ clinical outcomes. Lastly, it addresses the challenges of utilizing such technologies and future directions. Providing multiple perspectives on the topic, the book appeals to a wide range of readers, including nurses, clinicians, researchers, technology experts and students, making them familiar with a broad selection of technological interventions and their application in clinical practice. Moreover, it highlights the factors that need to be considered in the development (and testing) of future interventions, in particular in nursing, and provides inspiration for future studies.
