Book Synopsis Caregiving Systems by : Steven H. Zarit
Download or read book Caregiving Systems written by Steven H. Zarit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregiving has emerged as a critical issue in the second half of the life cycle. With the growth of the older population, there have been dramatic increases in the number of people needing care and assistance. The responsibility for care typically falls on families at a time when they have limited resources to meet these needs. At a societal level, the need for care for growing numbers of disabled elders poses a major challenge for how to organize supportive services in an efficient and responsive system. Bringing together multiple perspectives on caregiving, the authors' explore informal and formal family caregiving and the pivotal issue of how these systems interface and interact. An overview of this variation is provided by examining family caregiving from three perspectives: * the effects of culture on helping patterns and family responsibility, * how different disabilities affect patterns of family care, and * longitudinal perspectives on the impact that caregiving has on family members.
Download or read book Measuring Health written by Ian McDowell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 1197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide economic constraints on health care systems have highlighted the importance of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based health policy. The resulting clinical trials and health services research studies require instruments to monitor the outcomes of care and the output of the health system. However, the over-abundance of competing measurement scales can make choosing a measure difficult at best. Measuring Health provides in-depth reviews of over 100 of the leading health measurement tools and serves as a guide for choosing among them.LNow in its third edition, this book provides a critical overview of the field of health measurement, with a technical introduction and discussion of the history and future directions for the field. This latest edition updates the information on each of the measures previously reviewed, and includes a complete new chapter on anxiety measurement to accompany the one on depression. It has also added new instruments to those previously reviewed in each of the chapters in the book.LChapters cover measurements of physical disability, social health, psychological well-being, anxiety, depression, mental status testing, pain, general health status and quality of life. Each chapter presents a tabular comparison of the quality of the instruments reviewed, followed by a detailed description of each method, covering its purpose and conceptual basis, its reliability and validity and, where possible, shows a copy of the actual scale. To ensure accuracy of the information, each review has been approved by the original author of each instrument or by an acknowledged expert.
Download or read book Abjectly Boundless written by Trudy Rudge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a variety of practice environments, health professionals often experience feelings of disgust and repulsion towards the presence of an abject object. Cadaverous, sick, disabled bodies, troubled minds, wounds, vomit and so forth are all part of health and care work and threaten the clean and proper bodies of those who undertake it, yet this 'unclean' side of health work is rarely accounted for in academic literature. This volume employs the work of Julia Kristeva through a range of case studies drawn from care and nursing settings around the world. It brings together work from researchers and practitioners within the social and health sciences, the caring professions and psychotherapy, to expose and highlight the important impact of the concept of abjection, which historically has been silenced in the health sciences.
Download or read book Insomnia written by Martin P. Szuba and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its prevalence, insomnia remains poorly understood, mainly because of the lack of clear scientific data supporting the many approaches used. Millions of sufferers turn to alcohol, melatonin or over-the-counter sleep aids, despite the risks and lack of empirical evidence supporting the efficacy or safety of these agents. This book is the first of its kind to collate the up-to-date scientific data in order to identify the gaps in our knowledge and improve clinical management. A highly distinguished team of contributors examines the most recent findings and points where research should be heading. They cover the nature and prevalence of insomnia throughout the lifespan; the molecular, neuropharmacological, and neuroanatomical systems of relevance to insomnia, and the impact of related problems (such as shift work, industrial accidents, mood disorders, and other sleep disorders). This is essential reading for all health care professionals engaged in the management of insomnia.
Book Synopsis Précis pratique de gériatrie by : Marcel Arcand
Download or read book Précis pratique de gériatrie written by Marcel Arcand and published by Maloine. This book was released on 1997 with total page 902 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le vieillissement de la population est en train d'influencer profondément la pratique médicale, tant à l'hôpital qu'au cabinet. Le malade âgé présente en effet des caractéristiques cliniques différentes de celles de l'adulte plus jeune. Ces caractéristiques se répercutent non seulement sur l'approche clinique et sur la démarche diagnostique mais aussi sur les attitudes thérapeutiques. Le traditionnel pessimisme qu'inspirait le vieillard en perte d'autonomie fait peu à peu place à un optimisme raisonné, basé sur la recherche de plus en plus fructueuse de facteurs pathogènes réversibles et sur les succès confirmés de la réadaptation fonctionnelle. La multidisciplinarité remplace progressivement l'isolement professionnel dans cette tentative d'améliorer la qualité de la vie de la personne âgée. Le Précis Pratique de Gériatrie, premier ouvrage du genre en langue française, veut offrir aux professionnel(le)s de la santé un outil pratique de formation et de référence. Il ne cherche en aucun cas à remplacer les classiques ouvrages de médecine mais s'attache essentiellement aux spécificités de l'approche gériatrique, en insistant sur les caractères particuliers de présentation, d'évolution et de traitement des manifestations pathologiques courantes chez le vieillard. Essentiellement didactique dans sa forme et sa présentation, le Précis Pratique de Gériatrie est abondamment illustré d'algorithmes et de tableaux. Les auteurs ont rassemblé, en un tout homogène, le fruit de la réflexion et de l'expérience d'une cinquantaine de collaborateurs choisis pour leur compétence et leur implication étroite dans le travail auprès des personnes âgées.

Book Synopsis Osteoporosis in Older Persons by : Gustavo Duque
Download or read book Osteoporosis in Older Persons written by Gustavo Duque and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition includes the most up-to-date information about the pathophysiology and new therapeutic alternatives for osteoporosis of advanced age. It is written by investigators (clinicians and basic scientists) in the field of aging bone research. It was just recently that a new syndrome, osteoporosis of advanced age, was recognized as a new entity with its own pathophysiology and potential treatments. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that hip fractures are mostly a consequence of this process, and apart from the first edition of this book, there are few publications about this subject. The first edition of this book demonstrated that there is a need to understand the particular features of osteoporosis in older persons, which is the main aim of this book. The institutions where the authors are affiliated are highly recognized as the main centers in aging bone research. As an innovation, the second edition includes some aspects of muscle and bone interaction focusing of the impact of age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) on the pathogenesis of falls and fractures in older persons. As in the previous edition, this book is expected to be the reference guide for geriatricians, gerontologists, and bone biologists as well as medical trainees in order to understand the mechanisms of senile osteoporosis with a practical approach to the treatment of its consequences.
