Download or read book "Caregiving is Not for the Faint-hearted" written by Kathy Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is threefold: 1) to examine in-home hands-on care of elderly family members from the caregiver's perspective; 2) to consider the impacts of in-home caregiving on the caregiver and other family members; and 3) to discover what factors both enable and present barriers to continuing in the caregiving role. To understand the process of caregiving, open-ended, in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted that focused on the pathways to caregiving, the rewards as well as the burdens of caregiving, and how caregivers cope with the experience. Symbolic lnteractionism, including Erving Goffman's discussion of shame and embarrassment, and Dorothy Smith's Standpoint Feminism provide the theoretical perspectives that guide understanding and insight into the experiences of family caregivers as they interact and care for aging parents or spouses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding meaning in trauma work, as a traumatized healer yourself. The act of caregiving is physically exhausting and emotionally draining, yet caregivers describe it as rewarding and gratifying. Prolonged exposure to human suffering, however, is not without risks?caregivers report high rates of burnout and poor quality of life. Many care providers believe that their feelings do not matter; that they should ignore their pain, brush off their trauma, wipe away their tears, and just “suck it up.” Here, Omar Reda a Libyan-born American psychiatrist who, as an emergency physician and trauma counselor provided care for medical staff caring for victims of trauma, calls upon other healers to break free from cycles of secrecy, toxic stress, and silent suffering so they can continue to empower and inspire those in their care. Filled with poignant first-person stories and clinical case studies, this book is an impassioned plea for psychosocial trauma care that prioritizes the health of both client and healer.
Book Synopsis Walking Each Other Home by : Jean Denton
Download or read book Walking Each Other Home written by Jean Denton and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia changes everything—and not just for the person who receives the diagnosis. Each of the 5.6 million Americans with dementia has one or more caregivers struggling to make meaning while watching their loved one’s personality vanish. The caregiver is sure to be changed—not only by the myriad tasks and responsibilities, but by the soul-searching questions: Dare I hope? Who’s to blame? What do I do with my anger? Where’s God in this? These questions of doubt, guilt, intimacy, depression, and acceptance are ultimately questions of spirit. This book is distinctive: it directly addresses the spiritual needs of the caregiver. It invites the reader to explore his or her own spiritual journey rather than offering pre-determined answers. Appropriate, both for people with faith and people without religion, it encourages dementia caregivers to probe their spiritual questions along with a sympathetic author, one who walked her husband through early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Book Synopsis Self-Care for TEACHERS by : Dr. Matthew Allen
Download or read book Self-Care for TEACHERS written by Dr. Matthew Allen and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-12 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed for both individual use and professional development programs, Self-Care for Teachers provides guided reflections and practical advice for classroom teachers and educational leaders alike, and will be of immediate benefit to many who feel overwhelmed by the increasing demands of the profession and are struggling to avoid burn out and find balance. Clearly, many teachers are stretched to the breaking point, and much the same could be said of many administrators. Indeed, there is a curious conspiracy at work in overwork. Teachers typically find it almost impossible to say “no” to more work and greater expectations, just as administrators can’t help themselves asking for more. With the best of intentions, we all put students first, and sacrifice ourselves as necessary. Various remedies have been suggested, but most focus on managerial strategies or pedagogical reform—organizations and teaching rather than teachers. Dr. Allen’s approach is fundamentally different. Twenty-five years wide experience in education—beginning with a boys’ boarding school and including a university lectureship, a post at a prestigious prep school, and various teaching and administrative positions in international schools—has convinced him two simple truths. Teachers can never meet the endless demands of the profession. Not only that, but as much as we care for our students, we don’t look after ourselves very well. Consequently, he suggests that a good part of the solution to the beguiling business of overwork and its attendant maladies must be what he has come to call “self-care,” both a missing piece of pedagogy and an overlooked aspect of educational leadership. By “self-care” I simply mean learning to look after ourselves better so that we can continue to look after our students as we would like to. However much (or little) we are supported in our work and outside it, I suggest that we appoint ourselves our own “chief care givers” and consciously seek whatever it is which sustains us most. The purpose of this book is to further that initiative. Since, by self-selection, rigorous training, and long habit, educators often become used to unnecessary self-sacrifice and constant self-neglect, Self-Care for Teachers emphasizes learning—learning to look after one’s self—and is as inspirational as it is instructional, balancing inventory exercises with personal anecdotes. Self-Care for Teachers will help educators everywhere to regain their balance, reclaim their time, and renew their practice, and will be of critical importance to thousands of teachers and administrators in the IB (International Baccalaureate) Program who believe in the IB ideal of balance but require explanation and guidance to make this concept a reality in their lives and schools. Blending current research, personal experience, and literary reflections, Self-Care for Teachers at once scholarly, artful, and moving. Written in a lively and accessible style, this thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider long-held views and values about vocation, success, balance, time, productivity, and spirituality. By reconsidering these fundaments together, educators everywhere can literally change their minds about their work as professionals and their lives as people, and move towards greater peace, productivity, and pleasure.

Book Synopsis The Challenges of Caregiving: Seeing, Serving, Solving by : Rick Caracciolo
Download or read book The Challenges of Caregiving: Seeing, Serving, Solving written by Rick Caracciolo and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man’s perception, and how to accept aging, has not changed dramatically since the beginning of time or over the last 220 years as man’s life expectancy has increased. Man is not a stagnant being, and as Bathauer notes, “Psychologist tell us that all of life is made up of continuous changes from childhood all the way to old age.” The last twenty years of life, the stage we call old age, brings about almost as many changes as the first twenty years. Changes in the latter part of life are usually more than all the changes during the first twenty years of life because they carry the threat of loss, disability or other degenerative conditions. Christian counselors are trained in the spiritual and general mental health aspects of aging. Caregivers and family members usually receive their training on the job as a caregiver. As the graying of America continues at an accelerated rate, the Christian counselor, pastor, and caregiver are going to need the tools and resources to counsel and assist in this area. Aging will be an area, which expands into additional areas that will affect everyone in some manner. The Christian counselor, pastor, and caregiver can benefit both professionally and personally by having an understanding of what caregiving is and is not. Also having the knowledge of where to retrieve useable and beneficial information is a blessing to all. It helps to reassure that all involved during this very stressful time period and when major decisions might need to be made to know that there is applicable information at hand. By having this knowledge, it will allow the counselor and caregiver to truly get a better understanding of the aging person. He is now able to help in a spiritual, mental and physical dimension. Again, it is not expected that the counselor, pastor, and caregiver will become a specialist in aging or a gerontologist. The expectation is that the reader will find helpful information as a caregiver and counselor. References 1 Ruth M.

Book Synopsis Intermediate and Continuing Care by : Brenda Roe
Download or read book Intermediate and Continuing Care written by Brenda Roe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermediate care comprises strategies which allow early discharge from acute care, prevent admission or re-admission to acute care and avoid bed-blocking in both acute and long-term residential care. It encompasses a range of short-term options including rapid response, hospital at home, residential rehabilitation, supported discharge and day rehabilitation. Continuing Care is delivered on a long-term basis in a variety of settings and often includes an element of rehabilitation. Although these two types of care have distinct objectives, they are interrelated as changes in the supply of one type of care may affect demands for the other. In addition, from a patient perspective, intermediate and continuing care might be seen as part of the continuum of care options that are supplied to meet their needs. This book argues for consideration of intermediate and continuing care as part of the care continuum that provides integrated care adopting whole system approaches. This edited volume explores policy, practice and current issues in intermediate and continuing care. It will be of interest to allhealth and social care professionals involved in the provision and planning of care for older people. It falls in three parts: intermediate care, continuing care, and a shorter section on patient and public involvement and future directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Lady Rosalynn Carter once said, "There are four kinds of people in the world those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers." Caregiving is the ultimate act of love. But even though taking care of another person can be spiritually rewarding, it can be challenging as well. Family members are often thrust into the role of home caregivers to spouses, partners, parents, or children for years they are the backbone of the at-home healthcare system. The Compassionate Heart is a book that recognizes that those who selflessly tend to others need to also take care of themselves. The book offers uplifting words of encouragement, support, and understanding paired with the inspirational art of Robin Pickens. It's the perfect gift to give to caregivers to show them they are not alone, and that they are appreciated by others who sympathize with their situation.
