  • Closing The Theory

    Practice Gap
    • 1st Edition
    • October 2, 1996
    • Gary Rolfe
    • English
    This book focuses on changing approaches to nursing, encompassing current concepts of practice and the ways in which theory is generated and disseminated. Nursing practice has moved from a task orientated discipline to being patient-centred, and from addressing effective ways of nursing groups of patients with similar problems to holistic care. However, methods of research and education have not kept pace. Change has begun, but an even greater leap is required to achieve seamlessness and excellence in the care that is given to patients. This book suggests how it might be achieved. The first part of the book discusses ways of bringing nursing theory closer to practice, integrating models of theory, practice, research and education, and is based on a vision of the nurse as an autonomous professional. The second part presents working examples of initiatives in, amongst other areas, practice, action research and curriculum development.

    Les techniques articulaires ostéopathiques s'imposent par leur capacité à soulager rapidement le patient : leur pratique est en plein essor. Cet atlas en constitue un véritable guide méthodologique. Il propose des techniques originales et consacre une place importante à des régions peu décrites par ailleurs. Pour chaque articulation (épaule, coude, poignet et main, hanche, genou, cheville et pied), les restrictions de mobilité font l'objet d'un diagnostic : le test de mobilité - accompagné de photographies - est suivi de l'exposé des points essentiels du tableau clinique, ainsi que des causes principales de la dysharmonie articulaire. Les techniques sont illustrées par plus de 400 photographies du patient en situation, selon une séquence rigoureuse et pédagogique : – positions du praticien et du patient ; – positionnement des mains ; – mise en place précise des paramètres de réduction ; – réduction. De surcroît, des conseils et astuces permettent d'aboutir à une mobilisation optimale (avec ou sans impulsion). Cette nouvelle édition actualisée et augmentée permet de préciser certaines approches dans les tests de diagnostic des régions anatomiques mais donne aussi des astuces supplémentaires pour les techniques de réduction, issues de l'expérience professionnelle et didactique des auteurs.
