      Although it is widely agreed that the experiences of service users have much to offer mental health professionals, the majority of books for this group focus on either conditions or different types of service provision (acute, community). This book is different. It takes as its starting point the lived experience of recovery which is the process whereby individuals can be helped to understand and come to terms with their illness. The role and actions of mental health professionals is explored as part of the process of recovery. The major part of the book will focus on ways in which direct care staff can assist people with mental health problems, reflecting the accounts of the nature and type of assistance which have been valuable, and the ways in which such help can best be offered. It addresses two key components of recovery accessand inclusion to life opportunities and acceptance. Each chapter of the book looks at an aspect of recovery and clearly shows how practitioners must accept the individuals needs and work with them towards this goal

      The importance of evidence-based nursing and the need to be research-minded means that all nurses must be aware of research and use it to inform their practice. But how can you find out what research is available? How do you find your way around reports? And how can you decide what research is relevant to your practice? This book will help. Thousands of nurses found the first 2 editions' down-to-earth style and step-by-step guidance invaluable. The new edition will retain and enhance this straightforward approach, but reflect changes in locating and reading research, including the impact of new technologies such as CDROM, Medline and the Internet.

      Le sens et le devenir même de la pratique infirmière sont déterminés par la conception que l'on a de la qualité du soin infirmier, qui ne peut se réduire à celle des actes effectués ni à leur organisation. En questionnant la qualité, l'auteur amène à réfléchir à l'essence de la démarche soignante et offre pour perspective le déploiement de la santé dans l'existence même de la personne. Une telle démarche procède d'une rencontre et d'un accompagnement par lesquels le soignant exerce une fonction d'expert et de conseiller. Volontairement fondé sur l'expérience et l'action, cet ouvrage permet d'enrichir la réflexion des cadres, des gestionnaires, des formateurs, ou des étudiants, ainsi que des professionnels qui exercent au contact direct des personnes soignées. Prenant en compte la réforme hospitalière et ses conséquences sur la gestion, l'auteur fait un point complet sur la manière de gérer le service infirmier, en respectant l'éthique du soin. L'ouvrage comprend une partie conceptuelle sur la pratique soignante, sur la qualité et sur la fonction d'encadrement. Les derniers chapitres forment une partie plus instrumentale, liée à l'organisation et à la gestion des services.

      This unique book provides one of the first and certainly the most practical approach to considering the needs of this population. It addresses important issues such as choice, partnership and community development in order that health promoters can work with and alongside older people to ensure that their health needs are addressed. The text contains numerous examples of good practice and is intentionally interactive, encouraging practitioners to reflect upon and question the assumptions that they make about the health and life-quality expectations for which older people have the potential. Its pragmatic and practical approach encourages the reader to then address these issues in their own practice.
