Cette prise en charge nécessite une formation spécifique de 140 heures accessible aux seuls aides-soignants et accompagnants éducatifs et sociaux. La prise en charge quotidienne des personnes atteintes de maladies neurodégénératives nécessite une solide connaissance de ces maladies et une bonne capacité à évaluer les compétences des personnes dépendantes. Il devient alors possible de mieux organiser la réalisation des actes de la vie quotidienne, de prévenir les situations de crise et d’établir une communication appropriée afin de contribuer à la qualité de vie de la personne malade et de son entourage. L’ASG exerce soit en équipes spécialisées au sein d’un service de soins infirmiers à domicile (SSIAD), soit dans un établissement d’hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes (Ehpad), soit à l’hôpital, dans les services de soins de suite et réadaptation (SSR) cognitivo-comportementaux ou les unités de soins de longue durée (USLD). Cet ouvrage collectif – conçu et rédigé par des spécialistes – propose l’ensemble des connaissances fondamentales et pratiques du référentiel officiel de formation à travers un cours clair et pédagogique, émaillé de fiches pratiques détaillées, d’analyses de situations et de conseils aux professionnels. Entièrement actualisée et enrichie, cette nouvelle édition est conforme au « Plan maladies neuro-dégénératives 2014-2019 » et à la loi de janvier 2016 sur « l’adaptation de la société au vieillissement ». Elle s’adresse aux aides-soignants et accompagnants éducatifs et sociaux en formation, aux formateurs ASG et à tous les professionnels s’occupant au quotidien de personnes atteintes de maladies neurodégénératives.

This issue will address health care issues and clinical implications of rural and other medically underserved priority populations. The Agency for Health Care Research and Quality identified priority populations to include rural residents, racial and ethnic minorities, low income groups, women, children, older adults, and other individuals who may require chronic care. The editors identified a need for articles focusing on priority populations to help further understand health implications of health disparities among specific populations. A main focus is on identifying useful clinically focused strategies to address racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic differences that are relevant and influence overall healthcare, access, and quality of life. The articles will provide clinicians and other consumers of Nursing Clinics of North America with a diverse and unique perspective on an array of clinically relevant and population focused topics. Some example topics included are: Tailoring interactive multimedia to improve diabetes self- management; Addressing mental and physical health among older adults; Using mobile devices to access evidence- based information in a rural setting; Identifying family history and development of risk factors for diabetes among underserved preschool children; Addressing smoking cessation, Cancer screening issues, Cardiovascular health, and Obesity.
