  • L'infirmier(e) et les soins palliatifs

    Prendre soin : éthique et pratiques
    • 6th Edition
    • SFAP (Société française d’accompagnement + 2 more
    • French
    Cette 6e édition actualise les avancées en matière de soins palliatifs depuis 2013. Elle intègre les dernières dispositions juridiques et les nouvelles recommandations, en particulier celles inscrites dans la loi dite « Léonetti Claeys », créant de nouveaux droits en faveur des malades, des personnes en fin de vie et leurs aidants. Un focus est ainsi consacré à l’ancrage éthique et, plus particulièrement, aux problématiques liées à la sédation. Un nouveau thème « Enseignement et pratique avancée » est développé. En outre, reflètant le raisonnement clinique, les diagnostics infirmiers sont actualisés en regard de la dernière édition de la Nanda International 2018-2020.La première partie présente une réflexion de fond sur les soins palliatifs (cadres historique, juridique, éthique, etc.) intégrée à la spécificité du soin infirmier et objectivant les ressources personnelles comme professionnelles des soignants.La seconde partie offre une approche pragmatique et scientifique de la pratique infirmière, là où le prendre soin trouve tout son sens au quotidien, quand l’intentionnalité se transforme en interventions choisies. Ainsi, la démarche soignante est abordée à l’aide d’exemples concrets : relation d’aide, diagnostics infirmiers prévalents, les soins du corps (hygiène et bien-être corporel, alimentation, sommeil, etc.) y compris les techniques particulières, notamment dans le soulagement de la douleur. Les auteurs proposent des méthodes d’évaluation, ainsi que l’intégration d’approches complémentaires des soins (relaxation, art-thérapie, etc.).Enfin, à l’occasion de cette nouvelle édition, l’ouvrage offre une dernière partie actualisée concernant les structures et les dispositifs de proximité.Véritable référence pour les soignants sur le thème des soins palliatifs, ce livre collectif s’adresse à notamment tou(te)s les infirmer(e)s et les aides-soignant(e)s, quel que soit leur lieu d’exercice et leur expérience professionnelle.
