Caring for Older People: A Shared Approach de Christine Brown Wilson

Caring for Older People: A Shared Approach

Autor Christine Brown Wilson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2012
Caring for Older People is a timely and welcome addition to the nursing and health-care literature. The book introduces and describes collaborative ways of working with older people, ensuring that students and practitioners are better equipped to provide consistently high-quality care that can make a positive difference to the lives of older people and their families. Providing an accessible, evidence-based framework and a wealth of practical strategies which can be implemented on a daily basis, Christine Brown Wilson takes the reader step by step through different approaches to nursing care and shows clearly how that care can move from being a task-focused to a person-focused experience.
Case-based scenarios threaded throughout the book also illustrate how the quality of care can be enhanced, and how students and practitioners can work effectively with older people while balancing the competing demands of the health and social care system. The author also shows how nurses can influence current practice, equipping the reader with key skills that can be used to challenge poor ways of working and to identify methods through which inadequate provision can be turned around.
This book will be indispensable reading for all nursing and healthcare students and practitioners who want to improve the quality of life for older people.

Recenzii

'This insightful, accessible book is timely in that there is a drive for educators to equip students with the evidenced- based approaches that will assist them to effectively contribute to care when working with older people. I recommend this text without reservations' -
 Liz Williams, University of Glamorgan
'This is an important textbook which brings together the complex and diverse challenges for health professionals in caring for older people. It is a practical and useful guide for people working with older adults in any setting' -
Ella McLafferty, University of Dundee


'This slim volume brings together research findings and practical suggestions for delivering care. Divided into two parts, the first section focuses on recent research that helps to illuminate key aspects of nursing care, while the second discusses the directions in which practice should be developed. This book uses frequent case studies and practice scenarios to illustrate how theoretical approaches can be incorporated into everyday practice. Examples range from the acute medical or surgical unit to the care home and the community, so nurses in all settings are likely to find ideas and resources of particular value and interest to them'
 

'At Last, here is a practical guide to approaching care of older people in hospitals as well as other settings. For this reason, it should be considered an essential ward teaching and mentoring tool. Illustrated with varied and realistic scenarios, this book encourages self-reflection and includes learning outcomes and activities to facilitate learning. This book should certainly be considered for inclusion in libraries and care settings and is recommended as supplementary reference for care workers undertaking diploma-level training'
