Fiches de soins pour l'aide-soignant

L’aide-soignant, pour rester en cohérence avec ses valeurs de soignant et répondre aux critères de soins, doit se centrer sur le malade et ses besoins plutôt que sur la technique. C’est pourquoi les fiches qui constituent cet ouvrage sont articulées autour de la règle d’ORR (Organisation, Réalisation, Relation) qui permet de mettre en place les gestes et techniques nécessaires tout en les reliant systématiquement au patient qui fait l’objet de ces soins. Cet ouvrage, découpé en 14 parties, offre 78 fiches, claires et synthétiques, classées selon les grands besoins de Virginia Henderson et agrémentées d’illustrations. Chaque fiche correspond à un soin et détaille l’essentiel que doit maîtriser l’aide-soignant à travers des encadrés où sont présentés les astuces ou points importants à retenir ou les dangers à éviter. Cette 5e édition, revue et augmentée, souligne, grâce à de nouvelles fiches pratiques et concrètes (comme par exemple, la prévention des risques liés à la chaleur, le circuit des déchets, l’accueil des aidants…), la dimension relationnelle existant aussi bien avec les patients qu’avec l’équipe soignante (transmissions, collaboration entre infirmiers et aides-soignants). Agréables et pratiques, ces fiches permettent aux soignants (élèves et professionnels) de trouver la réponse la mieux adaptée aux différents besoins de la personne soignée.

Schools can play an important role in addressing the unmet mental health needs of youth by potentially increasing access to care in a cost-effective manner. This venue provides unparalleled access to youth and exemplifies a single setting through which the majority of children can be reached. This very timely issue provides a much-needed analysis of the types of situations in which schools can and must address the mental health needs of their students, and the methodology for doing so. With an eye towards current technologies (articles cover telepsychiatry and web-based interventions), authors review school-based interventions for students suffering from post-traumatic stress-syndrome, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychoses, substance abuse, and other disorders. Of special interest are the articles covering bullying (including internet bullying) and mobilizing a crisis team after student death.
