  • Health Behavior Change

    • 2nd Edition
    • Stephen Rollnick + 2 more
    • English
    Engagingly written by experts with worldwide reputations in the field, Health Behavior Change presents an exciting method which can be used to helps patients change their behaviour in both hospital and community settings. The method is applicable to any behaviour, such as overeating, physical inactivity and smoking or with patients struggling with the consequences of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. Using brief, structured consultations with the client, the practitioner encourages the patient to take charge of decision-making concerning their health. It relies upon partnership between professional and patient rather than dominance of one over the other and is carried out in a spirit of negotiation rather than confrontation. The text clearly outlines the fundamental principles behind the method while applying it to practice. Problems of resistance and lack of motivation are explored and practical strategies to manage them are suggested. The patient is at the centre throughout. Short case examples and dilemmas from clinical settings ground the method in the reality of practice.

    • 1st Edition
    • Jean-Michel Hascoët + 1 more
    • French
    Le retour au domicile du nouveau-né et de sa mère est de plus en plus précoce : selon les régions, il oscille en France entre 2 et 5 jours. Ce raccourcissement du séjour en maternité implique une organisation adéquate afin d'éviter les risques d'une morbidité secondaire. Une préparation ante- et post-natale des parents, une observation attentive de l'enfant durant son séjour et la certitude d'un relais adéquat par des personnes formées sont indispensables. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de donner aux personnes qui entourent la naissance un ensemble d'informations claires permettant d'orienter les choix décisionnels et d'interpréter les signes de normalité ou les anomalies observées et de définir les conduites à tenir. Les auteurs présentent le cadre de la sortie de maternité, la surveillance et les dépistages chez le nourrisson, l'accompagnement des parents, le suivi du nouveau-né normal et de l'ancien prématuré et ouvre des perspectives en faisant part des pratiques dans d'autres pays.
