  • Clinical Nursing Practices

    Guidelines for Evidence-Based Practice
    • 6th Edition
    • Sarah Renton + 2 more
    • English
    The new edition of Clinical Nursing Practices reflects the many changes in nurse education and practice. A team of clinical and education experts has updated the core practices contained within this text, while to ensure continuity the previous editors have acted as consultants in the development of this edition. To reflect the continuing evolution of nursing and nursing practice, this new 6th edition emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice, values-based care, person centred care, health and social care integration and interprofessional education. To encourage reflective practice, self-assessment questions remain at the end of each chapter for some of the practices. Where appropriate, certain practices are evidenced mainly by National Guidelines and Standards such as Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Infection Control and Blood Transfusion; consequently, the presentation of the skill or procedure reflects this. The updated text addresses the wider issues which impact on everyday nursing and healthcare practice and is specially written to meet the needs of nurses today. The core philosophy of book, however, remains the same: to encourage its readers to deliver the highest quality care to each individual patient, safely and effectively.

  • Imagier pour la communication soignant-soigné

    Germes de paroles
    • 2nd Edition
    • Denis Fischer + 3 more
    • French
    De nombreuses personnes ne peuvent plus s’exprimer par la parole, ni être comprises : personnes aphasiques, laryngectomisées, atteintes de maladies neurologiques invalidantes, d’autisme, ou encore hospitalisées en réanimation… sans oublier les personnes étrangères ne parlant pas le français. La communication est fondamentale dans la relation soignant-soigné : comment entrer en relation avec ces patients, réduire leur isolement, répondre à leurs besoins et les satisfaire ? Face à cette perte de communication orale (et parfois écrite), face à la détresse de ceux qui la subissent, l’auteur a eu l’idée d’instaurer un relais par le moyen de ce petit guide qui présente 140 pictogrammes en couleur correspondant : - à la toilette et au confort personnel (se laver, s’habiller…) ; - aux besoins quotidiens (s’alimenter, connaître l’heure…) ; - aux distractions (lire, regarder la télévision…) ; - à l’état du patient (avoir chaud/froid, être fatigué, avoir mal…) ; - à diverses demandes (vouloir voir sa famille, un médecin, un représentant religieux…). Pratique et adapté à une utilisation fréquente – plastifié, à spirale –, cet imagier est un support de communication et un outil pratique aussi bien pour les soignants que pour les patients et leur famille.

  • Animer en Humanitude

    L'animation dans les établissements d'accueil des personnes fragilisées
    • 1st Edition
    • Philippe Crône
    • French
    Dans les établissements d’accueil des personnes fragilisées, on compte de nombreux soignants pour un ou deux animateurs, la prise en soin étant devenue la priorité au détriment de la dimension sociale et humaine. Or si on limite l’animation à une activité de loisir ou à un « passe-temps », on ne donne pas à l’animateur la place qui lui est due. Son rôle est bien plus ambitieux : créer un lien social et placer la dignité humaine au centre des soins, tout en s’adaptant aux besoins de l’établissement et des résidents. Car, quelle est la valeur de la prise en soin, si elle ne va pas de pair avec une démarche humaine et sociale ? Ce livre développe le projet d’animation en trois points, autour de la philosophie de l’humanitude, afin d’aider les animateurs et les structures à mettre en place une dynamique pluridisciplinaire et promouvoir le vivre ensemble. 1. L’animation solidaire. Elle a pour but de faire de l’établissement un lieu où il fait bon vivre et de développer une dynamique sociale porteuse d’envies et de projets vers un vivre ensemble loin de toute ségrégation. 2. Le projet d’accompagnement social personnalisé. Les animateurs apportent leurs compétences spécifiques et leur légitimité au service du projet de chaque résident. Ce livre décrit et propose des outils de traçabilité, de stratégie sociale et d’évaluation en fonction du public accueilli. 3.La communication. L’animateur doit assurer une médiation à deux niveaux. C’est d’abord la relation avec l’extérieur en relayant des valeurs positives de la structure, comme les évènements festifs. Il doit aussi communiquer à l’intérieur de la structure de façon à mettre en relation les professionnels avec les résidents. Ce livre, qui s’adresse à tous les animateurs et les soignants, propose une réflexion, une démarche et des outils pour mettre en place une animation professionnelle. Au-delà de l’activité ludique, la citoyenneté est au centre de ce projet pour les établissements d’accueil, afin que les résidents puissent y vivre le mieux possible, quels que soient leurs problèmes ou leur pathologie.

    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).

  • L'aide-soignant en service de psychiatrie

    • Marie-Odile Rioufol + 1 more
    • French
    L'implantation des aides-soignants en service de psychiatrie est assez récente et ne remonte qu'aux années 1980. Le nombre d'infirmiers en constante diminution a permis de valoriser le métier d'aide-soignant en psychiatrie en le structurant et en le diversifiant dans ses tâches. Cette évolution a également permis de changer l'image de l'aide-soignant qui est devenu un professionnel reconnu. Désormais, les aides-soignants en service psychiatrique ne sont donc plus cantonnés aux seules fonctions d'hygiène, de restauration et d'accompagnement dans les démarches administratives, sociales et médicales, ils doivent aussi savoir : • observer et écouter ; • tisser une relation de confiance avec le patient ; • être vigilant et prévenir les risques. Cet ouvrage, qui intègre les nouvelles dispositions de la loi de juillet 2011, cerne les différents rôles de l'aide-soignant en service de psychiatrie. Après un rappel théorique, il offre les outils pour mieux appréhender la prise en charge des patients atteints de troubles psychiatriques au travers de multiples mises en situation et conseils pratiques.

  • Assistant de soins en gérontologie

    • French
    Le plan Alzheimer a pour objectif de mieux accompagner les personnes malades et leurs aidants, en adaptant les dispositifs existants, mais aussi en développant des organisations nouvelles, tant à domicile qu'en établissement, et en coordonnant la recherche. Une des mesures du plan est la création d'une fonction spécifique, celle d'assistant de soins en gérontologie (ASG). En effet, la prise en charge au quotidien des personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer et de leurs proches demande de bien connaître les caractéristiques de cette affection et de savoir repérer les compétences des personnes malades. Il est alors possible de mieux organiser la réalisation des actes de la vie quotidienne (toilette, repas…) et de prévenir des situations de crise (fugue, agressivité…). Il faut apprendre les techniques de soins spécifiques, de réhabilitation et de gestion des troubles du comportement, mais aussi savoir établir une communication appropriée. La fonction d'assistant de soins en gérontologie contribue ainsi à la qualité de vie de la personne malade et de ses aidants. La formation au métier d'ASG dure 140 heures et prépare les professionnels déjà en exercice à l'accompagnement spécifique des personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer : - en équipes spécialisées au sein d'un service de soins infirmiers à domicile (SSIAD), - en unités spécialisées dans les établissements d'hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes (EHPAD), - à l'hôpital, dans les services de soins de suite et réadaptation (SSR) cognitivo-comporteme... ou les unités de soins de longue durée (USLD). Cet ouvrage, fruit du travail de spécialistes de la maladie et de conseillers du ministère de la Santé et de la Cohésion sociale, présente l'ensemble des connaissances fondamentales et pratiques du référentiel officiel de formation, à travers 10 parties (généralités sur la maladie d'Alzheimer, démarche d'observation, entourage et environnement, relation d'aide…). Le cours, très clair et pédagogique, est complété par des fiches pratiques très détaillées, des exemples de situations et des conseils au professionnel.

    • English
    The skills required by children’s nurses are many and varied, and are undertaken in a variety of settings. Sick children are cared for at home, in children’s units and hospitals, and sometimes in adult wards. In addition, children with disabilities may need nursing care while at special schools or in residential settings. This book provides a clinical manual of common practices. Each practice is research-based and presented in a common format which covers: Objectives Rationale Factors to note Guidelines Positioning Equipment Method Special observations and possible complications References and further reading The guidelines have been written specifically for children’s nursing by contributors from well-known children’s units. They are not simply adaptations from adult practices and therefore recognise the unique differences between adult and children’s nursing. The introductory section covers common concepts and infection control. There is also a chapter on complementary therapies and an appendix on the use of play as a distraction. All hospital and community nurses dealing with children, whether at home, in specialised units or in community settings, will find the book of great practical help.

    • French
    Le paysage gérontologique en France est actuellement en pleine évolution. L'animation est désormais présente dans la plupart des établissements d'hébergement de personnes âgées dépendantes (EHPAD) ; des projets de vie incluant l'animation se mettent en place dans un nombre croissant de structures et de services d'hôpitaux de gérontologie… Néanmoins, il reste encore des établissements où l'animateur n'est pas véritablement formé, ou, s'il l'est, peine à faire entendre son point de vue. Cet ouvrage clair et pratique apportera aux animateurs et responsables d'animation toutes les réponses et pistes de travail nécessaires pour construire leur projet social en tenant compte des particularités de leur institution, de sa spécificité socioculturelle et des capacités relationnelles des résidents accueillis.L'animati... et ses applications en institution sont abordées selon quatre axes : • l'animateur en institution (rôle, attitude et manière d'être en institution, rôle de la famille et des bénévoles, évaluation de l'animation) ;• l'animation en psychogériatrie (classification des démences, détermination du type de mémoire du patient afin de permettre l'acte de soin, adaptation du climat social au patient) ; • les différents ateliers (deux exemples d'ateliers – atelier mémoire et gymnastique douce –, réflexions sur la mise en place d'un projet d'animation pour une population mixte souffrant de handicaps physiques ou mentaux) ; • les différents types de séjours (séjour de vacances, séjours relationnels). En fin d'ouvrage, des annexes présentent les informations indispensables sur les formations d'animateur, ainsi que des grilles d'évaluation et les chartes de la personne âgée. Simple et complet, ce guide intéressera aussi bien les aides-soignants désireux d'améliorer leur approche de l'animation que les animateurs soucieux d'adapter leurs techniques au milieu spécifique de la gériatrie.
