John Wiley & Sons Inc Nursing Care: From Theory to Practice

With new governmental directives relating to how nurses care for patients, the debate continues about how and why nurses' care has never been more important. This book looks at all the key issues. It explores the historical basis upon which nurses care, and provides an invaluable theoretical resource to enable nurses from all areas of practice to understand better what care actually is. In addition to this important area it considers the difficulties in researching care.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Anxiety Management in Adult Day Surgery: A
Book SynopsisThe book is the first of its kind to specifically outline the psycho-educational nursing interventions required by the anxious, adult patient undergoing elective, ambulatory surgery. Anxiety management is a considerable issue for the majority of surgical patients and has been recognised as such for many decades. However, no formal nursing intervention currently exists to support patients during this acute phase. This book is one of the first to provide strong evidence for the way in which patients can be assisted in the management of their anxiety.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Vascular Complications of Surgery and
Book SynopsisThe concept for this book evolved over many years of intense clinical practice during which a wide variety of vascular complications were encountered as a result of other surgical or interventional procedures. In this book, the authors describe cohesive efforts by experts in the field as they commit to advancing health care quality by all professionals. It should be noted at the outset that the book does not discuss various non-vascular or systemic complications of patients undergoing vascular interventions such as myocardial infarction, renal or respiratory failure. Instead, the content is divided into four separate sections. The material begins with an introduction to vascular anatomy and function. There follows a section addressing specific complications of the vascular system that can occur in any patient, sometimes even without intervention. The third section addresses complications specific to interventions and surgical procedures. The final section is dedicated to the delayed and long-term sequelae attributable to the most commonly encountered vascular complications.Vascular Complications of Surgery and Intervention: A Practical Guide is targeted towards dedicated health care professionals managing patients affected by inadvertent but potentially disastrous vascular complications and for those practitioners performing interventions either directly upon the vascular system or procedures that have potential for collateral impact.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Psychosocial Approaches to Child and Adolescent
Book SynopsisThis textbook provides an engaging guide to psychosocial theories of child and adolescents’ wellbeing, demonstrating how psychology and sociology can be used to address key contemporary issues for those working with children and adolescents. It begins with an examination of the socially constructed nature of ‘childhood’ and ‘adolescence’, and impact of cultural context on the conditions for ‘well-being’, before outlining core psychological and sociological theories of childhood and adolescence. It adopts a psychosocial approach to illustrate the influence of social context on biologically based development in relation to topics including attachment, learning, play, parenting, family life, deviance, medicalisation, long-term conditions, vulnerability, and resilience. Through encouraging analysis of a practice-oriented case study and offering reflective questions it provides a robust introduction to how psychosocial perspectives may be applied within health, social care, and education contexts. It offers students of Social Work, Nursing, Education, Psychology and Child and Adolescent Studies the critical and theoretical tools to evaluate the interlocking psychosocial factors influencing the lives of those who will be in their care.Table of ContentsList of tablesList of FiguresAbout the AuthorsAcknowledgementsPreface Chapter 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Guide for Advanced Nursing Care of the Adult with
Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to provide one central resource for nurses within the adult spectrum of life-long congenital heart disease care who are seeking expert guidance for their practice, regardless of clinical setting. Over the past 50 years, advances in surgical techniques and medical therapies have drastically improved the number of congenital heart disease patients surviving into adulthood, with the result being that there are now more adults then children living with congenital heart disease. In the past three decades, recognition of this new cardiology subspecialty has given way to formalized programs, standards of care, and multidisciplinary expertise. Indeed Nursing care of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) is a relatively new medical subspecialty with limited knowledge and guidance available and also an important component of the multidisciplinary care team. Nursing care of the ACHD encompasses a holistic approach to the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual wellbeing of these unique individuals across their lifespan. Understanding the intricacies for the various heterogeneous defect types, the transition from pediatric to adult care, the unique educational and self-care needs, life-events such as pregnancy/reproduction, advanced heart failure, and end-of-life care helps prepare the nurse caring for the ACHD patient. Nurses as a first point of care for the ACHD patients play a pivotal role in the education and empowerment of the ACHD patient population and provide an invaluable role in the multidisciplinary team and with this guide nurses can feel confident in the quality of the care they provide. This book aims to introduce nursing focused care to wider audiences, nurses, medical technicians, and physicians who are involved in the management and treatment of ACHD patients. Improving care and the quality of life for adult congenital heart disease patients with a multidisciplinary team-based approach, including nursing care, should be a central goal for all ACHD programs.

Springer International Publishing AG Nursing: Health Education and Improving Patient
Book SynopsisThis new edition describes the latest advances in health education and patients' self-management, addressing core questions such as: How can you motivate a patient to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and how can you support their self-management? Though there is a broad consensus within the nursing profession on the importance of health promotion and the promotion of self-management, nursing professionals often struggle with the underlying theoretical and practical aspects involved, as well as the right type of intervention to use and how to evaluate the results.The book departs from concepts of health. In the first chapters, it examines health at the micro-, meso- and macro-level, combined with epidemiological health indicators. The following chapters focus on prevention, health promotion and self-management, while also broadly discussing prevention.The book then turns to the development and purpose of, as well as plans for, health promotion and health education. The Intervention Mapping protocol is the starting point, addressing questions such as how to motivate a patient to other, healthier behavior. Subsequently, the field of health promotion is extended to disease prevention, patient education and self-management. On the basis of patients’ needs, the book describes methods and interventions to promote self-management in detail. Self-management and chronic health problems are also highlighted, along with the patient’s social network in connection with self-management and eHealth. Lastly, the book explores the relationship between nursing and health promotion, as well as disease prevention, diagnoses, interventions and care results.Additionally, this edition includes two trainings on 'Promoting the self-management of the patient ' and on 'What is the role of the nursing professional in promoting self-management of the patient?'. This book is intended for bachelor and master courses for nursing professionals and is linked to the CanMeds competencies of health promoters and reflective evidence-based working professionals.

Springer International Publishing AG Put some Concrete in your Breakfast: Tales from
Book SynopsisThis book gives a sincere yet honest representation of modern nursing in all its forms rather than purely focusing only on the ‘good’ ‘the funny’ ‘the sad’ or the ‘ugly’. This book provides a collection of stories that concentrate on nursing, that validates, educates and encourages those undertaking a career in nursing. In addition, this book also celebrates the amazing rewards that the unique career of nursing has to offer, for those who can find a way to persevere through the challenges. There is a high rate of burnout among nurses in their early days of practice, because of the high demands placed on them by the healthcare system; hospital administrations; the expectations of management, patients, families and carers; and the sheer size of the patient loads with complex needs these days. The global pandemic erupting has now pushed a health care service that was already under pressure to now be in complete crisis. The world now knows that we need more nurses employed to be able to move forward from this calamity. This book closes that gap in that it encourages the readers to continue to pursue a career in nursing (despite the challenges that the profession holds) while also positively promoting the incredible work that nurses do. The chapters within this book, explore a cornucopia of different aspects of nursing including: caring for dying patients, dealing with bodily fluids and how patients are not very good at working out how sick they really are. The book also covers how to manage the care of patients with complex mental illnesses and those contemplating suicide. This book is targeted at nurses who may feel a little overwhelmed with the world that is nursing but who wish to thrive and further their career. Discussion questions at the end of the book further add to the reflection and learning process of the reader.Table of Contents1. Foreword The book begins with the author discussing that the stories of a nurse are unique. The author discusses that these stories can be sad, funny, heart-warming, or just plain strange—sometimes they are all of those things. The author further reflects that nursing stories are rarely documented, perhaps because nurses are generally too exhausted to think about writing down these tales after a long, hard shift. The author states that, if she had been given more knowledge about what it really meant to be a nurse, she may have either chosen a different career path, or would have been better prepared when embarking on her nursing journey2.

Springer International Publishing AG Enhancing Professionality Through Reflectivity in
Book SynopsisThis book discusses complex motivational conditions and strategies on macro, meso, and micro levels promoting reflectivity in interpersonal professional practice. The increasing demands made on practitioners in social and health services, as illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic, can lead to great uncertainty over how to find "the right response" to complex expressions of need and how to account for ethical professional decisions in view of prevailing strategies of 'risk reduction' and managerial accounting. Reflectivity has been recognised as being of central importance for guiding practitioners towards situationally differentiated and accountable practice. However, it is a complex process made up not only of different psychological components and their interplay with educational and organisational contexts, but also of multilevel interactions and purely situational conditions that can have positive or negative effects. The individual and team reflectivity can be learned and supported through various educational and managerial opportunities, sensitively guided personal and professional experiences and specific patterns of interaction which are reviewed in the book. Reflective supervision in the workplace plays a pivotal role in enabling individual and team reflective processes. However, there are also social and organisational factors that can hinder the development of individual and team reflectivity. The particular value of this publication is that the authors focus on complex research findings from several consecutive studies and critically review and discuss the conditions for reflectivity from various perspectives and with the background of rich academic literature and research. Their research-derived empirical and analytical insights were submitted to managers and educators, and effective and realistic strategies and methods to enhance different levels of reflectivity in students and practitioners were discussed and are summarised in this volume. Among the topics covered: The significance of reflectivity in professional social and health care in relation to changing socio-political contexts Gender aspects of reflectivity in the social and healthcare field Operationalisation of reflectivity for research by personal, team and organisational scales Cultural and communicational patterns of interaction enabling professional reflective processes Enhancing Professionality Through Reflectivity in Social and Health Care is pertinent reading for professors of professional academic training programmes for social workers, nurses, supervisors, trainers in non-formal learning settings, students, and managers of social and health services with an interest in enhancing organisational cultures.Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG Improving Person-Centered Innovation of Nursing
Book SynopsisThis English edition helps students and nursing professionals give each patient their unique position in healthcare delivery. The book provides tools to connect key topics and innovations in healthcare, developing a complete perspective on patient/person-centred care. It provides a comprehensive picture of important and recent insights on health and care. At its core, nurses provide care with a focus on the patient as a person. This person-centred care engages each patient's needs, preferences and expectations when providing integrated care.In this volume, care starts from the patient's point of view rather than from the role and function of the healthcare professional. The author relates themes such as relational care delivery, shared decision-making and empowerment to key concepts such as patient- and family-centred care, integrated care, patient-centred leadership(styles), quality of care and value-based healthcare.This book briefly and powerfully integrates these themes and describes them from a patient and client perspective, underpinned by the scientific literature on them. The themes are linked in a flowchart, starting from illness and working towards health, extending health even if people have a (physicalor mental) health problem. The purpose of this book is to offer a professional view of person-centred care. It stresses the importance of shared-decision making and leadership in promoting health in the care-setting. As such, it will be essential for any healthcare professional. Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisAnatomische und physiologische Grundkenntnisse sind zweifellos für angehende Krankenschwestern, Arzthelferinnen, Diätassisten tinnen, Krankengymnasten oder Medizinstudenten gleichermaßen wichtig. Ohne Zweifel ist der Wissensbedarf auf diesen Gebieten in den einzelnen Berufsgruppen recht unterschiedlich. Eines ist jedoch allen in Heilberufen Tätigen gemeinsam: Ohne solide Kennt nisse der Form und Funktion des gesunden Menschen ist das Ver ständnis der krankhaften Abweichungen und ihrer Therapie nicht möglich. Wahrscheinlich spreche ich vielen Berufsanfängern aus der Seele, wenn ich feststelle, daß der Einstieg in die medizinischen Grund lagenwissenschaften Anatomie und Physiologie oft nicht gerade leicht fällt. Um den Einstieg in dieses so wichtige Gebiet zu erleichtern, wurden die medizinischen Grundkenntnisse in Frage und Antwort dargestellt. Lesen Sie einemal einige Seiten eines "konventionellen" Lehr buches und prüfen Sie sich dabei einmal selbst, wie rasch Ihre Aufmerksamkeit abschweift und schließlich ganz nachläßt. In dem hier vorliegenden Buch sind die einzelnen Lernschritte fein ab gestuft und - wo immer dies möglich ist - logisch miteinander verknüpft.

Das Praxishandbuch für die Funktionsdienste OP und Anästhesie unterstützt Pflegende, damit sie den neuen Anforderungen gerecht werden können. Die Operationsabteilung ist mit Personaleinsatz und kostenintensivem Materialbedarf der betriebswirtschaftlich teuerste Bereich der Krankenhäuser. Bei einem chirurgisch versorgten Patienten entstehen allein 30% der Gesamtkosten im OP. Damit entscheidet die Leistungsfähigkeit des OP-Bereiches wesentlich den finanziellen Erfolg eines Krankenhauses im DRG-System. Um Kosten zu senken, müssen Schnittstellen zu "Nahtstellen" werden. Dies ist besonders im Bereich der standardisierten Operationen möglich – und OP- und Anästhesiepflegepersonal muss sich daher interdisziplinär weiterbilden.
