  • Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

    A Comprehensive Guide
    • 2nd Edition
    • Giovanni Maciocia
    • English
    Written by world-renowned author and teacher Giovanni Maciocia, Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine, 2nd Edition is a comprehensive, highly illustrated, and easy-to-understand resource. With a focus on clear interpretations of "real world" signs and symptoms, this new edition addresses the practice beyond the theory and leads you through both basic and sophisticated levels of diagnostic interpretation. Since Chinese medicine diagnosis relies on a subtle appraisal of a patient's disharmony, many factors beyond traditional Western symptoms are considered, including a patient's voice, the absence of thirst, feeling hot or cold, the patient's smell, tone of voice, and glitter of eyes. This practical resource helps students and practitioners alike carefully interpret a wide range of diagnostic nuances.

  • Imagier pour la communication soignant-soigné

    Germes de paroles
    • 2nd Edition
    • Denis Fischer + 3 more
    • French
    De nombreuses personnes ne peuvent plus s’exprimer par la parole, ni être comprises : personnes aphasiques, laryngectomisées, atteintes de maladies neurologiques invalidantes, d’autisme, ou encore hospitalisées en réanimation… sans oublier les personnes étrangères ne parlant pas le français. La communication est fondamentale dans la relation soignant-soigné : comment entrer en relation avec ces patients, réduire leur isolement, répondre à leurs besoins et les satisfaire ? Face à cette perte de communication orale (et parfois écrite), face à la détresse de ceux qui la subissent, l’auteur a eu l’idée d’instaurer un relais par le moyen de ce petit guide qui présente 140 pictogrammes en couleur correspondant : - à la toilette et au confort personnel (se laver, s’habiller…) ; - aux besoins quotidiens (s’alimenter, connaître l’heure…) ; - aux distractions (lire, regarder la télévision…) ; - à l’état du patient (avoir chaud/froid, être fatigué, avoir mal…) ; - à diverses demandes (vouloir voir sa famille, un médecin, un représentant religieux…). Pratique et adapté à une utilisation fréquente – plastifié, à spirale –, cet imagier est un support de communication et un outil pratique aussi bien pour les soignants que pour les patients et leur famille.

    Soigner en prison exige absolument une manière d’être. L’écoute doit être respectueuse de toutes les contradictions qui peuvent se manifester au gré des entretiens avec les patients. La santé en prison, devenue un enjeu majeur de santé publique, requiert une spécificité de la prise en charge sanitaire. Cet ouvrage apporte un éclairage concret sur la prise en charge infirmière des détenus au sein des unités sanitaires (UCSA). Ces unités, créées en 1994, ont pour objectif d’assurer à la population carcérale une qualité et une continuité des soins équivalentes à celles offertes à l’ensemble de la population. Au regard de l’actualité, cette nouvelle édition s’est enrichie d’un chapitre sur les patients radicalisés. L’ensemble des données ont été mises à jour. Le lecteur retrouvera de nombreux témoignages qui éclairent la complexité et la difficulté de la relation soignant–soigné ainsi que la proposition de conduites à tenir afin de favoriser la juste distance thérapeutique. Ce livre s’adresse aux professionnels de santé, étudiants en soins infirmiers et à toute personne s’intéressant à la vie carcérale.
