This book was released on 2010 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Europe, une réflexion est engagée sur la prise en compte du cancer au titre de maladie chronique. Or, les évolutions nécessaires ne peuvent se résumer à augmenter l'efficacité, en augmentant le nombre de lits hospitaliers par exemple, ou la qualité des seuls hôpitaux et cliniques. L'enjeu de santé publique qu'est devenu le cancer en France a obligé les pouvoirs publics et les acteurs de santé à reconsidérer toute l'organisation et les modes de prise en charge des malades. Dès le début des années 1990, quelques équipes ont relevé ce défi en menant une réflexion sur l'hospitalisation à domicile et les réseaux à mettre en place autour du patient cancéreux. Posant le cadre de cette organisation entre la ville et l'hôpital, les auteurs inscrivent leur propos dans l'évolution des besoins des patients et de leur famille en promouvant une prise en charge de proximité, qui préserve la qualité de vie en privilégiant les liens sociaux et affectifs du patient. Il s'avère en effet que lorsque le choix d'une prise en charge ou d'une fin de vie au domicile est fait par le patient, accepté par les proches et accompagné par des professionnels compétents et coordonnés, l'impact sur la qualité de vie des patients est indéniable, et les personnes malades plébiscitent ce type de dispositif. Destiné non seulement aux professionnels médicaux et paramédicaux mais aussi bien aux lecteurs investis dans l'organisation en santé (administrateurs, politiques, chercheurs et patients), cet ouvrage, rédigé dans un langage accessible au plus grand nombre, décrit une des expériences qui, fortes de quinze années de fonctionnement, ont montré que les alternatives à la prise en charge purement hospitalière respectent dignité des patients et sécurité des soins.

Book Synopsis Cancer et traitement by : Marie-Frédérique Bacqué
Download or read book Cancer et traitement written by Marie-Frédérique Bacqué and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-02-06 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les besoins, les attentes et les difficultés de la prise en charge d’un patient atteint de cancer à domicile ou à l’hôpital. En effet, si le nombre de cas de cancers augmente dans les pays occidentaux, leur prise en charge est en pleine évolution. L’accent est aujourd’hui mis sur une annonce plus humaine de la maladie, des traitements moins agressifs et une plus grande qualité de vie. Les patients, mieux informés souhaitent souvent être traités à la maison. La durée de la survie s’allongeant, les séjours hospitaliers sont réduits et choisis. Les équipes de soins à domicile relaieront prochainement plus facilement l’hôpital, grâce à des méthodes spécifiques de communication et aux réseaux de soins. Ici, tous les intervenants impliqués dans l’approche psycho-oncologique du patient abordent le choix du lieu et des moyens de traitements des patients : du médecin généraliste au psychologue, du cancérologue à l’unité de soins palliatifs mobile.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 2008, le Conseil canadien d'agrément des services de santé reconnaissait le rôle de l'ergothérapeute dans les équipes interdisciplinaires en soins palliatifs. Pour mettre en oeuvre ses compétences liées à la pratique en soins palliatifs, l'ergothérapeute a besoin d'explorer le concept de qualité de vie. Plusieurs études transversales ont porté sur sa conceptualisation dans le domaine médical. Cette étude qualitative longitudinale s'appuyant sur la méthodologie de l'étude de cas vise à comprendre en profondeur la signification personnelle et l'importance des dimensions jugées nécessaires pour avoir une bonne qualité de vie en soins palliatifs oncologiques dans un contexte hospitalier. L'enjeu méthodologique consiste donc à identifier l'importance relative des dimensions de la qualité de vie définies par les patients et leur réseau (famille et intervenants) en soins palliatifs. L'étude a également pour but d'identifier les contributions de l'ergothérapie afin de donner priorité aux interventions en soins palliatifs auprès de patients et de leur famille. Une collecte de données rigoureuse a été effectuée à partir d'entrevues individuelles, de récits de vie, d'un groupe de discussion focalisée, d'observations et d'un journal de bord pour saisir la perception dynamique de cinq patients en soins palliatifs et leur réseau (famille et intervenants). Selon une logique inductive, l'analyse qualitative des données (avec validation intra- et interjuge), assistée par le logiciel NVivo, a permis d'identifier les déterminants jugés nécessaires pour avoir une bonne qualité de vie à propos desquels l'ergothérapie a un rôle essentiel reconnu : 1) sentiment d'avoir du contrôle au quotidien; 2) identité comme personne humaine au-delà de celle du malade; 3) milieu de vie où il est possible de se centrer sur soi; 4) sens comme personne vivante jusqu'à la mort. Outre la maladie, il faut donc se centrer sur l'histoire et la quête de sens pour permettre à la personne de renouer avec son identité première. Voilà toute l'importance de travailler en équipe interdisciplinaire, incluant l'ergothérapie, en partenariat avec le patient et sa famille dont les besoins relationnels et existentiels doivent être au centre des interventions.

Book Synopsis Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment by : Alberto Pilotto
Download or read book Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment written by Alberto Pilotto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the pathways of care from screening and case finding through to in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery. Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the prospects for future clinical service and research in this important field are examined. The book is very timely given the recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the growing international realization that older people are “core business” in many clinical areas where the role of specialist geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in their respective fields.
Download or read book Cancer on Trial written by Peter Keating and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were no medical oncologists until a few decades ago. In the early 1960s, not only were there no such specialists, many practitioners regarded the treatment of terminally-ill cancer patients with heroic courses of chemotherapy as highly questionable. Physicians loath to assign patients randomly to competing treatments also expressed their outright opposition to the randomized clinical trials that were then relatively rare. And yet today these trials form the basis of medical oncology. How did such a spectacular change occur? How did medical oncology move from a non-entity and in some regards a reviled practice to the central position it now occupies in modern medicine? Cancer on Trial answers these questions by exploring how practitioners established a new style of practice, at the center of which lies the cancer clinical trial.

Download or read book Tele-oncology written by Giovanna Gatti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how telemedicine can offer solutions capable of improving the care and survival rates of cancer patients and can also help patients to live a normal life in spite of their condition. Different fields of application – community, hospital and home based – are examined, and detailed attention is paid to the use of tele-oncology in rural/extreme rural settings and in developing countries. The impact of new technologies and the opportunities afforded by the social web are both discussed. The concluding chapters consider eLearning in relation to cancer care and assess the scope for education to improve prevention. No medical condition can shatter people’s lives as cancer does today and the need to develop strategies to reduce the disease burden and improve quality of life is paramount. Readers will find this new volume in Springer’s TELe Health series to be a rich source of information on the important contribution that can be made by telemedicine in achieving these goals.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine by : Harvey Max Chochinov
Download or read book Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine written by Harvey Max Chochinov and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatric, or psychosocial, palliative care has transformed palliative medicine. Palliation that neglects psychosocial dimensions of patient and family experience fails to meet contemporary standards of comprehensive palliative care. While a focus on somatic issues has sometimes overshadowed attention to psychological, existential, and spiritual end-of-life challenges, the past decade has seen an all encompassing, multi-disciplinary approach to care for the dying take hold. Written by internationally known psychiatry and palliative care experts, the Handbook of Psychiatry in Palliative Medicine is an essential reference for all providers of palliative care, including psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health counselors, oncologists, hospice workers, and social workers.
Book Synopsis Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Book Synopsis There is No Such Thing as a Social Science by : Phil Hutchinson
Download or read book There is No Such Thing as a Social Science written by Phil Hutchinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of Peter Winch in 1997 sparked a revived interest in his work with this book arguing his work suffered misrepresentation in both recent literature and in contemporary critiques of his writing. Debates in philosophy and sociology about foundational questions of social ontology and methodology often claim to have adequately incorporated and moved beyond Winch's concerns. Re-establishing a Winchian voice, the authors examine how such contentions involve a failure to understand central themes in Winch's writings and that the issues which occupied him in his Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy and later papers remain central to social studies. The volume offers a careful reading of the text in alliance with Wittgensteinian insights and alongside a focus on the nature and results of social thought and inquiry. It draws parallels with other movements in the social studies, notably ethnomethodology, to demonstrate how Winch's central claim is both more significant and more difficult to transcend than sociologists and philosophers have hitherto imagined.
Book Synopsis Health System Performance Comparison: an Agenda for Policy, Information and Research by : Irene Papanicolas
Download or read book Health System Performance Comparison: an Agenda for Policy, Information and Research written by Irene Papanicolas and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2013-06-16 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International comparison of health system performance has become increasingly popular, made possible by the rapidly expanding availability of health data. It has become one of the most important levers for prompting health system reform. Yet, as the demand for transparency and accountability in healthcare increases, so too does the need to compare data from different health systems both accurately and meaningfully. This timely and authoritative book offers an important summary of the current developments in health system performance comparison. It summarises the current state of efforts to compare systems, and identifies and explores the practical and conceptual challenges that occur. It discusses data and methodological challenges, as well as broader issues such as the interface between evidence and practice. The book draws out the priorities for future work on performance comparison, in the development of data sources and measurement instruments, analytic methodology, and assessment of evidence on performance. It concludes by presenting the key lessons and future priorities, and in doing so offers a rich source of material for policy-makers, their analytic advisors, international agencies, academics and students of health systems.
