      Nurses are faced with unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Healthcare delivery models are transforming that require adaptive and flexible nurses. The primary role of the frontline nurse is providing patient care. To be successful in this role it requires numerous competencies supported by evidence-based data. Frontline bedside nurses are fundamental to the success of value-based care delivery models. These transformational models rely on robust nursing contributions for success. Most frontline nurses don't understand value-based care models and their role in promoting positive outcomes for reimbursement. This issue is a tool kit to empower our frontline nurses for challenges they are facing with transformations occurring at their bedside practice site. The articles will be a best practice handbook for frontline nurses by providing resources to develop clinical skills to provide safe, quality, and accountable patient care needed for new healthcare delivery models.

      Cet ouvrage est construit autour de témoignages de soignants. L'auteure a choisi les situations les plus représentatives de la réalité du monde de la santé. Au fil des cas présentés, elle propose des pistes de réflexion et d'actions concrètes pour faciliter les relations avec les patients, les familles, et entre professionnels, tout en prenant soin de soi. Un chapitre est consacré à la gestion des émotions et au bien-être au travail. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'ouvrir les pistes des possibles, de transformer le doute en questionnement constructif, d'aider à (re)donner du sens et à cultiver le plaisir de travailler sans s'épuiser. Le style direct, stimulant et même humoristique de l'auteure vise à dédramatiser des situations difficiles, à les analyser soi-même et à trouver des solutions individuelles ou collectives. L'ouvrage n'a pas la prétention de résoudre « clef en main » tous les problèmes mais plutôt de proposer des éclairages parfois inédits, qui s'inspirent d'expériences comparées et de différentes approches de la communication et de la gestion du stress adaptées aux besoins spécifiques des soignants. Entièrement mise à jour, cette 2e édition est enrichie de données nouvelles, en particulier sur l'éducation thérapeutique du patient, la démarche réflexive et les références bibliographiques. L'auteure y incite à l'analyse des pratiques professionnelles par des questions ciblées.
