  • Le mémoire de fin d'études des étudiants en soins infirmiers

    Se révéler l'auteur de sa pensée
    • 1st Edition
    • Walter Hesbeen + 1 more
    • French
    Le mémoire de fin d’études des étudiants en soins infirmiers se présente comme un exercice pédagogique par lequel l’étudiant se met en recherche. Le mémoire l’invite ainsi à revêtir les habits de l’explorateur en vue de voir un peu plus clair dans une question qu’il se pose, dans une situation qui l’a plus particulièrement interpellé. Il a pour point de départ un objet que l’étudiant choisit librement pour les interrogations qu’il suscite, les étonnements qu’il provoque voire les énigmes que, pour lui, il contient. La finalité poursuivie par le travail de cet objet n’est pas de produire de nouveaux savoirs mais bien, prioritairement, d’aider l’étudiant, sujet de son mémoire, à déployer son intelligence, à élever sa pensée, à affiner son raisonnement. La seconde finalité est celle de développer sa capacité de nommer de manière juste et personnelle et d’exprimer de manière rigoureuse et élégante ce que sa démarche lui a permis de découvrir, de clarifier, de préciser, et ce dans la perspective de sa future pratique d’infirmière ou d’infirmier. Le mémoire permet ainsi à l’étudiant de se familiariser davantage avec des outils ou méthodes, en particulier le recours aux bases de données en vue de la recherche documentaire, tout comme la préparation et l’exploitation d’entretiens avec des témoins privilégiés qui sont les principales méthodes présentées dans cet ouvrage. Pour les enseignants, les formateurs et les bibliothécaires-docu... le mémoire constitue l’occasion d’accompagner pas à pas la démarche entreprise, de l’éclairer et, ainsi, de proposer aux étudiants leur professionnalisme pédagogique, celui qui permet d’élever leur réflexion, de libérer leur pensée et de s’exprimer avec toute la rigueur et la sensibilité que requiert l’exercice de leur futur métier d’infirmière ou d’infirmier.

  • Sedation and Sleep in Critical Care: An Update, An Issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 28-2
    • Jan Foster
    • English
    Sedation is a necessary component of care for critically ill and injured individuals. Sedatives assist in coping with mechanical ventilation and other invasive devices, and help patients tolerate procedures and noxious stimuli in the intensive care unit. Sedatives are also useful in the control of agitation and delirium. In addition to fundamental humane reasons, calming patients with sedatives provides physiologic benefits, such as reducing oxygen consumption expended during restlessness, and prevents dislodgement of life-preserving tubes and catheters. When administering sedatives to manage critically ill patients, clinicians must be cognizant of the many complex issues surrounding their use. This issue, edited by Consulting Editor, Dr. Jan Foster, provides current updates in this area, including new guidelines and a focus on delirium.

  • Heart Failure, An Issue of Critical Nursing Clinics

    • 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.
