  • Heart Failure, An Issue of Critical Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-4
    • Jennifer Kitchens
    • English
    Heart failure is the only cardiovascular disease that is increasing. The impact on the critical care environment and the health care system, as a whole, is significant from both a cost and burden to the system perspective. There are 6.5 million hospital days a year and nearly $40 billion dollars in yearly health care costs attributed to heart failure in the United States. There are more Medicare monies spent for diagnosing and treating heart failure than any other Diagnosis Related Group. There is a 24% hospital re-admission rate for this diagnosis which leads to financial implications for health care systems.The human cost is also significant. Less than half of Americans diagnosed with heart failure survive greater than 5 years. The ongoing health care needs and cost of this chronic disease takes a significant toll on patients’ finances, time and quality of life. Over $2.9 billion dollars is spent annually on the pharmaceutical management of heart failure in the United States. This diagnosis is the leading cause of hospitalization for patients who are 65 years of age and older. Few health care providers in the critical care environment are not affected by heart failure on a routine basis. Caring for these patients and their families is both a challenging and yet a rewarding experience. This edition will provide critical care nurses with a comprehensive heart failure review which is essential in caring for this challenging population given the dynamic health and critical care environments.

    • French
    La résistance au stress et les stratégies d'adaptation sont particulièrement sollicitées dans la relation au patient, mais aussi du fait de conditions d'exercice éprouvantes. La détresse du patient est directement liée aux burn-out des soignants, ou syndrome d'épuisement professionnel des soignants (SEPS), en raison du phénomène de déshumanisation de la relation soignant-soigné. Les auteurs font le point sur les facteurs de stress spécifiques, sur les stratégies d'adaptation et indiquent les instruments d'évaluation d'un burn-out. Ils accordent ensuite une large part aux réponses institutionnelles et individuelles pour remédier au SEPS, débouchant sur les possibilités de prévention. Cette nouvelle édition tient compte de l'évolution de ce syndrome ces 15 dernières années et propose des réponses adaptées, notamment par la médecine du travail.

  • Rural and Other Medically Underserved Populations, An Issue of Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 50-3
    • JoAnn S. Oliver
    • English
    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.

  • Palliative Care in Critical Care, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27-3
    • Tonja Hartjes
    • English
    Intensive care units (ICUs) provide comprehensive, advanced care to patients with serious or life-threatening conditions and consequently, a significant amount of end-of-life care (EOLC). Indeed, approximately 20% of deaths in the U.S. are associated with an ICU stay, and nearly half of U.S. patients who die in hospitals experience an ICU stay during the last 3 days of life. Despite the commonality of the ICU experience, ICU patients typically suffer from a range of distressing symptoms such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, and dyspnea, causing families significant distress on their behalf. Thus, there is a growing imperative for better provision of palliative care (PC) in the ICU, which may prevent and relieve suffering for patients with life threatening illnesses. Effective palliative care is accomplished through aggressive symptom management, communication about the patient and family’s physical, psychosocial and spiritual concerns, and aligning treatments with each patient’s goals, values, and preferences. PC is also patient-centered and uses a multidisciplinary, team-based approach that can be provided in conjunction with other life-sustaining treatments, or as a primary treatment approach. Failure to align treatment goals with individual and family preferences can create distress for patients, families, and providers. If implemented appropriately, palliative care may significantly reduce the health care costs associated with intensive hospital care, and help patients avoid the common, non-person centered treatment that is wasteful, distressing, and potentially harmful. Due to the success of many PC programs, administrators, providers, and accrediting bodies are beginning to understand that palliative care in the ICU is vital to optimal patient outcomes.

  • Réflexothérapie occipito-podale

    • 1st Edition
    • Guy Boitout + 1 more
    • French
    Cet ouvrage fondateur énonce les bases scientifiques et l'originalité de la réflexothérapie occipito-podale. Le potentiel réflexogène récepteur et émetteur de la peau du pied et d'une partie de l'occiput est abordé en première partie. S'appuyant sur l'embryologie et la neurophysiologie, les auteurs démontrent comment, dès qu'un organe innervé est en dysfonction, les informations sont réceptionnées et enregistrées de manière topique sur les centres nerveux supérieurs qui les « réverbèrent » sur l'écran occipital, témoin de l'activité de la formation réticulaire, et sur l'écran podal, prolongement embryologique de notre cerveau archaïque. Les zones réflexes sont objectivables à la palpation par une modification de la texture de la peau, dont la vasomotricité et la trophicité sont régulées par le système orthosympathique. Une fois les zones réflexes de toutes les régions anatomiques du corps reformatées, l'image globale est celle d'un nouveau-né en siège décomplété. Cette représentation tridimensionnelle du corps sur les pieds prenant la forme d'un nouveau-né en siège décomplété constitue une découverte majeure. La deuxième partie est consacrée aux zones réflexes occipitales et podales. Chaque région anatomique est visualisée avec une iconographie originale modélisée. La technique de massage cible la couche épidermo-dermique des claviers occipital et podal, point de départ des voies de la sensibilité tactile, fine et épicritique du système lemniscal choisi pour solliciter les centres nerveux supérieurs chargés de donner les ordres correctifs nécessaires aux organes en dysfonction.
