    • Relation d'aide en soins infirmiers

      La relation d’aide est au coeur des pratiques soignantes puisqu’elle s’inscrit dans la relation soignant-soigné, et pour les infirmiers(e)s, dans le cadre de leur rôle autonome. Toutefois, elle ne s’improvise pas ni ne se résume en recettes. En effet, la relation d’aide fait appel à des connaissances et des compétences multiples et délicates. Il est ainsi difficile de la définir et de dégager un savoir-faire relationnel. Cet ouvrage, issu de groupes de travail du Collège des acteurs en soins infirmiers de la SFAP, apporte un éclairage sur le développement professionnel continu et le référentiel de formation initiale où l’enseignement du soin relationnel se trouve conforté.Cette nouvelle édition largement actualisée permet de clarifier ce qu’est la relation d’aide en soins infirmiers. Elle en expose les cadres réglementaires et législatifs en insistant sur la formation, le développement personnel, la compétence et la dimension éthique. Les auteurs définissent également les attentes de la personne soignée, les conditions d’exercice de cette relation d’aide en exposant concrètement ce qui la constitue, mais aussi ses limites et ce qu’elle n’est pas, dégageant ainsi ce qui est spécifique au rôle infirmier. Le concept de disponibilité et la notion de distance professionnelle sont également abordés.La progression du livre est animée de très nombreux cas cliniques (prenant en compte la spécialisation des infirmièr(e)s vers la pratique avancée) : ils donnent à cette thématique une dimension clinique et concrète indispensable et abordent des situations de soins diverses à l’hôpital, en institution de long séjour, à domicile ou encore en milieu scolaire. Le lecteur y trouvera les clés pour établir une relation personnalisée avec chaque patient, avec un texte étayé de nombreux exemples concrets et transposables.Enfin, l’accent est mis sur les valeurs communes des membres de l’équipe soignante en soulignant l’interdisciplinarit... à l’oeuvre dans la prise en soin de la personne malade. Les références bibliographiques ont été mises à jour et apportent un nouvel éclairage sur lesconcepts de santé.
