  • Le burn-out à l'hôpital

    Le syndrome d'épuisement professionnel des soignants
    • 5th Edition
    • Pierre Canouï + 3 more
    • French
    La résistance au stress et les stratégies d'adaptation sont particulièrement sollicitées dans la relation au patient, mais aussi du fait de conditions d'exercice éprouvantes. La détresse du patient est directement liée aux burn-out des soignants, ou syndrome d'épuisement professionnel des soignants (SEPS), en raison du phénomène de déshumanisation de la relation soignant-soigné. Les auteurs font le point sur les facteurs de stress spécifiques, sur les stratégies d'adaptation et indiquent les instruments d'évaluation d'un burn-out. Ils accordent ensuite une large part aux réponses institutionnelles et individuelles pour remédier au SEPS, débouchant sur les possibilités de prévention. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de l'évolution de ce syndrome ces 15 dernières années et propose des réponses adaptées, notamment par la médecine du travail.

  • Pediatric Prevention, An Issue of Pediatric Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 62-5
    • Earnestine Willis
    • English
    Preventive pediatrics remains the foundation for pediatricians to offer benefits for future generations. Social conditions often complicate health status and bureaucracies pose challenges for families and children to navigate service systems. Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize a host of topics that children and families face in addition to highlighting opportunities for overcoming some of those challenges. In this issue, an array of authors will update pediatricians on the prevalence and management of chronic health and social conditions such as childhood poverty, youth violence, oral health, asthma, foster care, toxin exposures including tobacco, and childhood obesity. Promising interventions that pediatricians should continue to examine include: how pediatricians can advocate for breastfeeding as a wellness concept for working mothers in the workplace; promotion of childhood literacy development; maximizing immunization compliance; monitor the impact of public policy such as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on children’s health; and how community health workers (CHWs) can be vital to community health improvement. Proposed interventions include a description of how the medical and legal partnership model can be an empowering strategy for families to address social determinants of health (SDH) when lawyers are included as a member of the health care team. In addition, pediatricians and all other child healthcare professionals must investigate epigenetic mechanisms that might predispose children to risk factors or good health outcomes.

  • Palliative Care in Critical Care, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-3
    • Tonja Hartjes
    • English
    Intensive care units (ICUs) provide comprehensive, advanced care to patients with serious or life-threatening conditions and consequently, a significant amount of end-of-life care (EOLC). Indeed, approximately 20% of deaths in the U.S. are associated with an ICU stay, and nearly half of U.S. patients who die in hospitals experience an ICU stay during the last 3 days of life. Despite the commonality of the ICU experience, ICU patients typically suffer from a range of distressing symptoms such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, and dyspnea, causing families significant distress on their behalf. Thus, there is a growing imperative for better provision of palliative care (PC) in the ICU, which may prevent and relieve suffering for patients with life threatening illnesses. Effective palliative care is accomplished through aggressive symptom management, communication about the patient and family’s physical, psychosocial and spiritual concerns, and aligning treatments with each patient’s goals, values, and preferences. PC is also patient-centered and uses a multidisciplinary, team-based approach that can be provided in conjunction with other life-sustaining treatments, or as a primary treatment approach. Failure to align treatment goals with individual and family preferences can create distress for patients, families, and providers. If implemented appropriately, palliative care may significantly reduce the health care costs associated with intensive hospital care, and help patients avoid the common, non-person centered treatment that is wasteful, distressing, and potentially harmful. Due to the success of many PC programs, administrators, providers, and accrediting bodies are beginning to understand that palliative care in the ICU is vital to optimal patient outcomes.
