Book SynopsisVirginia Howes was a mother of four doing the ironing when she had a revelation. Still broody, but not really wanting to add to her family, she realised that becoming a midwife was her true vocation. It was a long journey to get the education and qualifications she needed, especially with a young family, but she was determined and never doubted her decision. Following her training, she spent two years working within the NHS, but her naturally independent spirit fought against the constraints of the system and fourteen years ago she decided to set up on her own. Virginia works with mothers who want to give birth at home naturally, something which Virginia believes in passionately. 350 births later, Virginia still loves what she does.The Baby''s Coming is Virginia''s memoir and tells the stories of her training as a midwife as well as some of the most memorable births: the most dramatic, the most touching. Virginia particularly remembers the births of her own grandc

Book SynopsisLiving with a chronic illness can have a significant psychological impact on a child and his or her family, and it is essential that this aspect of their care is not overlooked.

It discusses issues such as the impact of diagnosis and the experiences of children and their families in managing their medical condition and treatment. Strategies to support children and help them to cope with medical conditions are demonstrated, including cognitive behavioural and systemic approaches, and techniques such as relaxation and motivational interviewing. Case examples from clinical practice are given to illustrate the application of psychological ideas and frameworks to a variety of medical conditions and psychological difficulties. The book also includes a comprehensive resources section of where to look for further information. This will be an essential book for all professionals working with children with medical conditions, including psychologists, doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, counsellors, social workers, speech and language therapists, dieticians and play therapists.Trade Review"Promoting Psychological Well-Being in Children with Acute and Chronic Illness" is a powerful survey that promotes the psychological well-being of children with medical conditions. Any professional working with a child will find this packed with strategies ranging from relaxation techniques to preparing a child for procedural distress and helping them feel empowered. A solid pick for any health professional's reference collection, this should be in the libraries of any who work with children. -- The Midwest Book ReviewFor a non-psychologist working in chronic disease management, there are useful chapters on managing pain and distress around procedures, and on promoting adherence to treatment and transition to adult services. -- Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry`The book provides case examples to illustrate the application of psychological ideas and frameworks to a variety of medical conditions and psychological difficulties, as well as a detailed resources section.` -- Human Givens JournalAt last... a book which offers practitioners a wealth of guidance and insights into helping children and their families to cope with illness. With its child-centred emphasis on promoting psychological well-being, resilience and adaptation to illness as well as improving treatment outcomes this will undoubtedly be a well used and often quoted text for both students and current practitioners. It will certainly be central to the reading list for my Health Studies teaching with immediate effect. -- Deborah Plummer, Senior Lecturer in Health Studies, De Montfort University, UKPromoting Psychological Well-Being in Children with Acute and Chronic Illness is an outstanding resource for all members of multidisciplinary pediatric healthcare teams caring for children and their families.

Book SynopsisExploring both principles and best practice of the spiritual care of sick children and young people, this remarkable and inspiring book equips the reader to think critically and creatively about how to provide care in hospitals, hospices and other care contexts for ill and disabled children.Written for staff from any allied health discipline, the authors explore the potential spiritual needs and issues faced by sick children and young people. They provide evidence-based practice principles, and a range of activity-based interactions that empower the child or young person and expand discussion of meaning and identity. The book includes stories and multidisciplinary practice examples, as well as many ideas; practical activities; discussion of work with families, and also of the various tensions and issues that can emerge.Based on evidence-based practice and research carried out by the Chaplaincy Team at Birmingham Children's Hospital, the book will be helpful and inspiring reading for chaplains, nurses, play and youth workers, therapists and anyone else involved in the care of sick children and young people.Trade ReviewThis book demonstrates how essential it is to have spiritual care integrated in multi-professional practice to address this much neglected dimension of holistic care. With 27 years in the field, I am certain that a cancer diagnosis causes spiritual pain and suffering for children, young people and their families. In the modern western world, largely distrustful or disconnected from religion, we have lost our spiritual language. The authors offer us simple and effective tools to connect in a spiritual way with those we care for. If you are at all uncertain read page 149 first. -- Jeanette Hawkins RGN, RSCN, DPSN, MSc Advanced Nursing Practice, Assistant Director, CLIC SargentPaul Nash, Kathryn Darby and Sally Nash offer a book borne of the intense and awe-filled experience of listening to children and young people who have dis-ease. This is the kind of book I wish had been available when I became a pediatric chaplain over twenty years ago-examples, potential activities and most of all the spiritual reflection that can only be done by people who have been at the hospital bedside. It is in the act of play that we become who we truly are, and these playful activities aim to facilitate wholeness by helping children and youth connect with their core identity and become their healthy-whole-selves. -- Daniel H. Grossoehme, DMin, MS, BCC, Associate Professor of Pediatrics (Research) and Staff Chaplain III, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, USAThis handbook is a valuable and timely addition to the literature given that, today, much attention is being given to the role of spirituality in holistic health care and wellbeing. The topics are relevant and have been carefully informed by current research and the extensive use of story both illuminates and inspires the work. The writing is accessible and the wide array of activities and strategies offered by the authors make this book particularly useful for parents and care workers alike.' -- Marian de Souza, Chair, International Association for Children's SpiritualityThis is a recommended read and a much needed resource for anyone involved in caring for sick children and young people. For far too long there has been a deficit in this specific field and dimension of practice. The authors should be congratulated for providing an engaging and informative text supporting the integration of spiritual care within everyday practice all the while keeping the voice and needs of the sick child and young person and their families at the centre of all interaction. -- Wilf McSherry, Professor in Dignity of Care for Older People, Staffordshire University, The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust and Haraldsplass Deaconess University CollegeThis is a sensitively written handbook applicable for all health professionals caring for young people with an illness and their families. Based on current research and the experience of skilled spiritual care practitioners, this text comprises numerous practical examples and strategies that will provide a solid methodology and a valuable assessment guide for those wanting to add depth or another dimension to the quality of their care. -- Dr. Lindsay Carey, MAppSc, PhD, Research Fellow in Palliative Care and Head of Public Health Major, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia, and Co-Editor, Health and Social Care Chaplaincy, UKThrust as I was on day one into the paediatric department, I was left to fend for myself in a field that I have since learnt has a unique set of parameters and skill-set required to fully engage with sick children, young people and their families. If you ever find yourself in the same boat- READ THIS BOOK FIRST!... [it] is sure to become required reading for any paediatric chaplain and I would commend it to anyone who wishes to engage holistically with sick children in their care. -- Ministry Today UKThe sad reality is that children get sick and sometimes die. This thoughtful and practical book offers ways in which we can help support the spiritual needs of children at those times. -- The Church of England - Child in the Mists Newsletter and network of Anglican Children and Youth AdvisersI wish I had had this book when I first became a hospital chaplain. Thrust as I was on day one into the paediatric department (on the grounds that I was the only chaplain who had children!) I was left to fend for myself in a field that I have since learnt has a unique set of parameters and skill-set required to fully engage with sick children, young people and their families. If you are ever in a similar boat to me - READ THIS BOOK FIRST. This book is sure to become required reading for any paediatric chaplain and I would commend it to anyone who wishes to engage holistically with sick children in their care.... Impressively structured, the authors weave together intelligent theological reflection, experienced praxis and case studies that illuminate the principles being revealed and discussed. -- William Ruddle * Ministry Today UK *The premise of this much needed handbook is that spiritual care is "easier to explore than to explain". It does this powerfully by recounting more than 40 verbatim accounts of "interpretive spiritual encounters" that the chaplains at Birmingham Children's Hospital (BCH) have had with Children and young people there... This is a useful, hopeful, and thought-provoking resource, which is well worth a complete read-through. It can also, however, be dipped into for clear, practical guidance by those who find themselves needing to lay solid foundations that will allow interpretative spiritual encounters to happen. -- Revd.

Book SynopsisWhat do you need to know in order to provide the best possible care for sick children of different faiths? What, in the context of the young person's faith, might it be helpful to know to support the child and the family, improve care, communicate sensitively and avoid causing offence? Drawing on extensive, evidence-based research and practice, this practical resource addresses the multi-faith needs of sick and dying children and young people in hospitals and the wider community. Covering Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism, it provides the key information needed to help multi-disciplinary healthcare staff offer the best, culturally-appropriate care to sick children and their families. The book discusses daily, palliative, end of life and bereavement care in a range of settings, including hospitals, hospices, schools and home. The information provided covers those aspects of the religions discussed that are essential for healthcare staff to understand, including modesty and hygiene, taboos, food and prohibited products, age-related issues, sacred objects, visitors, and the expectations of the family. It includes important information on the issues of disability and mental health in each faith as well as addressing the significance within different faith traditions of the transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. A comprehensive resource that uniquely focuses on the care needs of sick children from different faiths, this book will be of immeasurable value to multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, bereavement support and palliative care workers, carers, counsellors, chaplains and arts therapists.Trade Review...I was left a little in awe at what these people were managing to do. I was pleased to see Nash's statement that his team's work was not in the interests of some multicultural political correctness, but because they believed their paediatric patients and their families would get better care. This book has got a lot to offer anybody who works in palliative care in a multifaith setting, not just the chaplaincy team. -- Roger Woodruff, International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care NewsletterThe book is full of cultural and religious helps that concern the entire healthcare treatment team from routine care to palliative and end-of-life care...the book is truly a resource for all bedside clinicians, including professional chaplains, nursing, medicine and other therapeutic specialty clinicians, too. Each chapter focuses on care for a child and family from each of the faith traditions. A Buddhist mother's reflection on spiritual and religious care needs during the premature birth of her twins was particularly enlightening and informative. Then in the final chapter, Paul Nash does a nice job of highlighting spiritual assessment tools and setting up spiritual care that is reflective of pathway care. This book will help new chaplains and seasoned chaplains who need a thorough resource and guide for pediatric palliative and end-of-life care, and the care preceding those difficult and trying times. -- George M. Rossi MA MDiv BCC, clinical chaplain, Pastoral Care Services, Medical University of South Carolina * APC Forum, Association of Professional Chaplains *This is a well written book that is easy to refer to when needed and can be used by any level of chaplain or health care professional. Having been a chaplain for several years and worked and specialized in paediatric settings I found this book refreshing, educational and both uplifting and encouraging. I know I will be re-reading it again and again in my work. -- Revd Philip Wright * Health and Social Care Chaplaincy, Issue 4.1 (June) 2016 *Table of ContentsIntroduction. Revd.

Book SynopsisWhat is meant by 'spiritual care'? How can we assess and communicate the needs of a child in hospital effectively if we each have conflicting interpretations of 'spiritual'?This book proposes that we use a language of 'connectedness', which can fully express a child's feelings about, and understanding of, their hospital experience, rather than relying on religious or medical language. In doing so, assessments can be made purely on information given by the child and their emotional and spiritual needs can be communicated between professionals using a shared professional language, regardless of their own faith, religion or secular outlook. The book fully explains the concept of connectedness and outlines a practical assessment tool that uses play and storytelling to connect with the child and gather information about their hospital experience, their relationships with others while in the hospital setting, their feelings about their current state and their needs.This book will improve communication between medical practitioners, chaplains and other support services, enabling them to provide the best support for children in their care. It will also be of interest to academics in healthcare, theology and psychology.Trade ReviewThis important book is both practical and inspirational. It offers a framework for empowering children to speak about their spiritual concerns and, what is much more difficult, enabling practitioners to hear what they are saying. The outcomes of this communication are theologically transforming. -- Heather Walton, Professor of Theology and Creative Practice, University of GlasgowTable of ContentsIntroduction - Thinking Outside the Box: Finding Professional Dimensions for Understanding Meaning. 1.

Book SynopsisPediatric Collections offers what you need to know - original, focused research in a snapshot approach. The teen pregnancy and birth rates have decreased in the US in the past 30 years due to factors such as the availability of more hormonal contraceptive options and delayed initiation of sexual intercourse. However, the US still has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates of industrialized countries. Moreover, disparities in teen pregnancy and birthrates still exist due mostly to social determinants of health. This all points to the increased need of pediatric providers to provide comprehensive reproductive health to all adolescents they care for. Now, more than ever, pediatric providers are counted on to provide evidence-based, comprehensive reproductive and sexual healthcare to the adolescents and young adults they care for. A pediatrician’s goal is to ensure all children grow to be the healthy, successful, and productive adults they were meant to be. Guiding them through the challenge of adolescence and providing comprehensive reproductive health care can help make that goal a reality.Table of ContentsIntroduction by Elizabeth Alderman, MD, FAAP 1 After “The Talk”: Adolescents’ Perspectives Reveal Need for Improvement in Hospital Sexual Health Care Delivery Original Article Original Publication February 1, 20232 Adolescent and Young Adult Menstrual Poverty: A Barrier to Contraceptive Choice Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Justice Original Publication January 1, 20233 Geographic Distribution of Clinical Care for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Youth Original Article Original Publication December 1, 20224 Improving HPV Vaccination Rates in a Racially and Ethnically Diverse Pediatric Population Quality Report Original Publication October 1, 20225 Dobbs v.

Book SynopsisOriginally emanating from presentations at an international conference, this text brings together research and practice development from three perspectives: practice, management and education. Within these three sections the book presents a series of chapters written mainly by practitioners, but some in collaboration with academics. At the end of each section there is a commentary by a practitioner, manager or researcher, which aims to offer a helpful critique on the papers in their section, guiding the reader to consider other areas of research and practice development. At a time when practitioners are being called to produce and use evidence in their practice, this book should offer a valuable contribution to that evidence base.Table of ContentsForeword Fiona Smith.
