Download or read book Suffering written by Betty Ferrell and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 1995 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the few texts available that focuses on the human aspect of managing pain and suffering. Through personal accounts and professional studies, this collection of essays examines the impact of pain and suffering from the viewpoints of patients, family members, clergy and caregivers. The book promotes a holistic understanding of human suffering that extends beyond the scope of pain management to stress the overall importance of a fully developed patient-provider relationship. The authors emphasize the necessity of human engagement, which is often considered as falling outside the bounds of medical treatment, as crucial to a patient's experience. Because the personalization of caregiving is an issue so important to the future of health care, this is an essential text for health care providers who are new to the field as well as those who are seasoned professionals.

Download or read book Healing America written by Roger Bulger and published by Easton Studio Press LLC. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book a physician long involved in health policy issues at the national level presents a wise, achievable vision for American health care. From his wide ranging professional experiences and his personal experiences with three life threatening illnesses, he charts a uniquely American “epidemiology of hope” that flows from the country’s vast medical research investments and technology transfer capabilities; challenges patients and health professionals alike to recognize a central decision making role for the patient on the healing team; and offers thought-provoking insights into physician-patient communication, the placebo effect, suffering, dealing with death and dying, and the nature of the social contract between those in the healing business and those seeking to be healed. Most important, after provocatively grading American health care from B-plus to D in relation to hope, mercy, justice, and autonomy, the book proposes a new metric, the Organizational Therapeutic Index (OTI), for assessing and improving our health care system.

Book excerpt: What is illness? Is it a physiological dysfunction, a social label, or a way of experiencing the world? How do the physical, social and emotional worlds of a person change when they become ill? And can there be well-being within illness? In this remarkable and thought-provoking book, Havi Carel explores these questions by weaving together the personal story of her own serious illness with insights and reflections drawn from her work as a philosopher. Carel's fresh approach to illness raises some uncomfortable questions about how we all - whether healthcare professionals or not - view the ill and challenges us to become more thoughtful. 'Illness' unravels the tension between the universality of illness and its intensely private, often lonely, nature. It offers a new way of looking at a matter that affects every one of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giving Voice to What We Know links Margaret Newman's Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness (HEC) with nursing knowledge development, clinical practice, education and curriculum development, research, and nursing administration. At a time when nurses are increasingly asked to justify their contribution to clinical practice outcomes, Giving Voice to What We Know serves as a guide for nurses to do so by articulating their contributions to both immediate and long-term changes in healthcare. Written by nurse educators who teach research and practice within the theoretical framework of HEC, the text provides clear examples of theory-based practice models, as well as a variety of practical examples for using the model to create a partnership with patients--the essence of nursing.

Book excerpt: Have you ever felt like you really didn't fit in? Have you considered risking everything to find a better fit? Monica does just that in Hidden Dimensions. Disillusioned by her medical professors' cold, mechanistic approach to healing, she abandons her life-long dream of becoming a doctor. She leaves her sheltered life to search for the true nature of reality. As she embarks on an uncharted journey, she fights through the pain of her mysterious past and her uncertainty about what is real. She makes naïve, awkward mistakes, some of which are potentially fatal. Will she keep going and find love? The path that Monica takes is courageous and passionate. It just might lead her to intimacy with the true nature of reality, empathy, and increasing awareness of her wholeness. With luck, she'll find the adventure, humor, and heightened consciousness that she is searching for. Even new physics might whisper to her. She'll only find out by jumping in with both feet. Jump in with her.

Download or read book Work and Unseen Chronic Illness written by Margaret Vickers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-09 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly ageing society, medicine, hygiene and nutrition have reduced the impact of acute and life-threatening illnesses. However, whilst we are living longer, the chance of developing or contracting a chronic illness is increasing. There are a growing number of working adults affected by chronic health conditions that may be largely invisible to those around them. In this book, the author explores the 'silent' problem of unseen illness at work. The author employs qualitative research methods to challenge the idea that if you look well, you must be well. While demonstrating the effectiveness of this controversial methodology, she uses it to expose the voices of a group of marginalized workplace actors who have hitherto remained unheard. Stories from people with cancer, multiple sclerosis, endometriosis and other illnesses are interspersed with the author's reflections about life and work with illness that others cannot see. These stories reflect a passage of trauma and marginalization, but also foreground themes of survival.

Book excerpt: Societies consider certain institutions and activities as central, proper, and visible, while others are defined as peripheral, deviant, and private. Vilhelm Aubert takes us to the ""hidden"" societies: the privacy of love, the secrecy of the underground, the remoteness of a ship, the isolation of the ill, the retirement from social life into sleep, and similar fascinating topics.Vilhelm Aubert, a professor of sociology in the Law Faculty of Oslo University and a member of the board of directors of Oslo's famed Institute of Social Research, presents a theory of the hidden societies, a theory concerned with concepts such as time and space, causality, will, and' chance. Chapters on predictability and chance deal with lack of 6rder, with phenomena that appear meaningless or absurd from a point of view very prevalent in modern life. We are presented with a study of isolation as a sociological phenomenon - accepted or fostered by social action - and we see how the existence of lonely, private niches in a society serves, consciously or unconsciously, to satisfy-idiosyncratic needs of individual personalities.

Download or read book Physician-Assisted Death in Perspective written by Stuart J. Youngner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive report and analysis of the Dutch euthanasia experience over the last three decades. In contrast to most books about euthanasia, which are written by authors from countries where the practice is illegal and therefore practised only secretly, this book analyzes empirical data and real-life clinical behavior. Its essays were written by the leading Dutch scholars and clinicians who shaped euthanasia policy and who have studied, evaluated and helped regulate it. Some of them have themselves practised euthanasia. The book will contribute to the world literature on physician-assisted death by providing a comprehensive examination of how euthanasia has been practised and how it has evolved in one specific national and cultural context. It will greatly advance the understanding of euthanasia among both advocates and opponents of the practice.

Download or read book Voices of the Chronically Ill written by Mary Kalfoss and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes what it is like to embody chaos and liminality in living with a physical chronic illness and how these experiences are related to the loss and remaking of one’s sense of self. It also encourages readers to listen closely to the figurative language people use in trying to articulate the unspeakable. Focusing upon a wide array of narrative fragments gathered from first-person literary work and research, the author portrays how a conglomerate of sensations, feelings, and thoughts are embodied in the illness experience. The voices present in this text speak of vulnerability, suffering, and brokenness, yet also, endurance and fortitude. The ethics of philosopher Emmanuel Levinas provide the grounds for offering care lovingly. This book makes a significant contribution to helping students, practitioners and carers understand the chaos that is inherent, yet so often silenced, in the illness experience. This text could also be of interest to laypeople who are curious about how subjective illness is experienced, and to those who are ill who may be seeking affirmation for what they are experiencing.
