  • Relation d'aide en soins infirmiers

    • 1st Edition
    • SFAP (Société française d’accompagnement + 4 more
    • French
    La relation d'aide est au cœur des pratiques soignantes puisqu'elle s'inscrit dans la relation soignant – soigné, et pour les infirmières, 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, permet de clarifier ce qu'est la relation d'aide en soins infirmiers en proposant tout d'abord d'en exposer les cadres réglementaires et conceptuels pour dégager ensuite une définition. Il livre les clés d'une relation d'aide infirmière 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. La progression du livre est animée de très nombreux cas cliniques qui donnent à cette thématique une dimension clinique et concrète indispensable, abordant des situations de soins diverses à l'hôpital, en institution de long séjour, à domicile ou encore en milieu scolaire. Un dernier chapitre met enfin l'accent sur les valeurs communes des membres de l'équipe soignante en soulignant l'interdisciplinarit... à l'œuvre dans la prise en charge de la personne malade.

  • Care of the Suicidal Person

    • 1st Edition
    • John R Cutcliffe + 1 more
    • English
    This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This book is based on a three year qualitative study (a study that was funded by the United Kingdom Department of Health) that investigated how psychiatric nurses provided care for suicidal people. Drawing on service user data, this book contains and explains an evidence-based (empirically induced) theory of how to care for suicidal people. Far from being an esoteric theory with no clinical applicability, the findings captured in this book are grounded in the reality of day-to-day practice. Furthermore, in addition to tracing the role of nurses in caring for suicidal people, the authors use their findings to launch into formal level issues regarding future research, education and policy; as well as focusing on the ethical issues involved in care of the suicidal person. The authors close by shifting the focus on 'suicide survivors' and with the help of contributing aithors. As the eminent suicidology scholars who have generously provided their Forewords note - this is a must-read book for anyone involved in the care of the suicidal person.
