Download or read book The Impact of Provide Beliefs, Perceptions, and Practices on Advance Care Planning Conversations with Seriously Ill Patients written by Kelly A. Bouthillet and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract : For clinicians, discussions that focus on life-sustaining procedures and interventions is often easier than partaking in conversations that provoke feelings of inadequacy or uncertainty. This may result in patient-provider miscommunication about end of life preferences and goals of care. The focus of this translational research and clinical project was to examine provider barriers to practice and to implement a structured communication tool using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide when engaging patients and family in advance care planning and goals of care discussions. Previous research has indicated that many clinicians lack formal education and confidence in end of life care discussions. The project consisted of a pre- and post-education survey assessing perceptions, beliefs and practices and a virtual training session that included instruction on the use of the Serious Illness Conversation Guide. Participants included physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants in hospitalist and other clinical practice settings. Results demonstrated continued confusion as to who should initiate end of life care conversations, with most participants suggesting patients rather than providers initiate discussions. The findings of this study were consistent with previous literature and support the need for structured education for both physicians and nurse practitioners in advance care planning conversations.

Download or read book Research methods in palliative care written by Julia M Addington-Hall and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palliative and end of life care are concerned with the physical, social, psychological and spiritual care of people with advanced disease. It currently has a poorly developed research base, but the need to improve this is increasingly recognised. One of the reasons for the lack of research - and the variable quality of the research that is undertaken - is the difficulty of conducting research with very ill and bereaved people. Standard and well-established research methods may need to be adapted to work in this context. This means that existing research methods textbooks may be of limited use to palliative care practitioners seeking to do research for the first time, or to more experienced researchers wanting to apply their knowledge in palliative care settings. This research methods textbook is the first to be written specifically for palliative care. It has been edited by four experienced palliative care academics with acknowledged expertise and international reputations in this field. It encompasses methods used in both clinical and health services research in palliative care, with sections on clinical, epidemiological, survey and qualitative research, as well as a section covering skills needed in any research project. Each chapter provides readers with an up to date overview of the research method in question, an understanding of its applicability to palliative care and of the particular challenges of using it in this setting. It is essential reading for all palliative care researchers.

Book excerpt: Palliative care has become increasingly important across the spectrum of healthcare, and with it, the need for education and training of a broad range of medical practitioners not previously associated with this field of care.

An overview of the future of surgical palliative care education and research rounds out the text. Surgical Palliative Care is an ideal resource for surgeons, surgical nurses, intensivists, and other practitioners who wish to learn more about integrating palliative care into the surgical field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the previous edition: “I highly recommend this book as reading for all physicians and would certainly recommend it for any course on medical ethics and/or required reading for any medical student.”—Journal of the National Medical Association Since the publication of the first edition of Spirituality in Patient Care in 2002, the book has earned a reputation as the authoritative introduction to the subject for health professionals interested in identifying and addressing the spiritual needs of patients. The body of research on religion, spirituality, and health continues to grow at a dramatic rate, creating an urgent need for a new edition of this landmark work. In this, the third edition, Harold G. Koenig, M.D., updates every chapter by incorporating the newest research and introducing sensible ways of translating that research into caring for patients. Like previous editions, this new one addresses the whys, hows, whens, and whats of patient-centered integration of spirituality into patient care so that health professionals, including physicians in primary care and the medical and surgical specialties, can utilize this information in clinical practice. Whole chapters are also included offering profession-specific information for nurses, clergy, mental health professionals, social workers, and occupational and physical therapists. Other chapters address topics like culturally and spiritually sensitive care for each major religious group, potential limitations or barriers to application, and even what may happen when research on spirituality and health is misapplied. Throughout these chapters, readers will find new case histories and clinical examples on how to integrate spirituality into patient care depending on their particular circumstances. A ten-session model course curriculum on spirituality and health care for medical students and residents is also provided, with suggestions on how to adapt it for nursing, social work, physical and occupational therapy, and mental health training programs. For more than ten years Spirituality in Patient Care has offered sound guidance to anyone wishing to do more than simply treat their patients’ physical symptoms. Treating the whole patient often requires becoming something more than just a skilled technician. With this new edition, Dr. Koenig once again shows the way for any health professional seeking to bridge this gap and help patientsregain their lives by finding hope, meaning, and healing.
