This book is the result of thousands of encounters with tube-fed infants and their families over the past four decades. The ailing and fragile children, suffering from a myriad of medical conditions acted as muses and mentors teaching more than could be expected. This book is addressed to medical professionals, early interventionists, pediatricians, child surgeons, nurses, dieticians, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists (SLPs), feeding specialists, psychologists, physiotherapists, infant psychiatrists as well as parents. The medically fragile child (MFC) is the subject of the authors' work when it is concerned with enteral nutrition support (ENS) by means of a feeding tube (ENT). As pediatricians and psychotherapists, they have been treating eating and feeding disorders of children since 1986 and with this book they pass on knowledge they have garnered over three decades. Over 5,000 children have been weaned off their feeding tubes. Tube weaning requires the evaluation of medical, nutritional, sensory, developmental, metabolic and growth-related findings. The review of the literature around this subject has provided a source of inspiration as well as critical self-reflection; the authors wish to offer their insight and ideas on how to approach child-led tube-management and tube-weaning to all healthcare professional involved in the management of these children.

This book aims to explore technology solutions and systems to help people in remote areas in order to improve medical care. Access to health care services is critical to good health, but residents of remote areas face a variety of access barriers. The obstacles faced by health care providers and patients in rural areas are very different from those in urban areas. This could be caused by economic factors, cultural and social differences, educational deficiencies, lack of recognition by legislators, and the sheer isolation of living in inland areas, all of which conspire to create health care disparities and hinder people living in inland areas in their struggle to lead normal, healthy lives. Based on available analyses, further progress is needed to promote appropriateness of care, address geographic imbalances in health care use, and prevent the spread of risk factors including chronic diseases and regular health problems. To eradicate these problems, it is essential to develop a telemedicine system with ICT integration that will help patients in inland areas by using contemporary technologies: it would thus be possible for patients to meet their goals using these systems even without the presence of a physician since authenticated prescriptions are generated by doctors and can be transmitted to patients electronically. The volume will contain a number of ideas from researchers who are already working to find solutions and will give insights into exploring innovative methods and new systems developed.

Dieses Handbuch integriert und erörtert eine wachsende Evidenzbasis zur individuellen Entwicklung im mittleren und späten Erwachsenenalter. Das Buch enthält eine umfassende Analyse dessen, was Wachstum in der Lebensmitte und im höheren Alter bedeutet, und zeigt auf, wie verschiedene Entwicklungsbereiche miteinander verwoben sind (d. h. körperliche, kognitive, soziale und emotionale Entwicklung sowie Persönlichkeitsentwicklung). Da die Kluft zwischen Theorie und Praxis immer noch ein Problem in der Entwicklungsforschung darstellt, zielt das Handbuch auch darauf ab, anschauliche Beispiele für Prävention und Intervention aus der Perspektive der positiven Psychologie zu liefern. Diese wurden so ausgewählt, dass sie eine Vielzahl von Themen repräsentieren, die für die individuelle Entwicklung relevant sind und bei denen die Forschung die Praxis beeinflusst, von Glück, Großelternschaft, Liebe und Sexualität bis hin zu Einsamkeit, Depression, Angst, Suizidprävention und Bewältigung des Todes.Dieses Handbuch ist ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für Studenten und Forscher, die in den Bereichen Entwicklungspsychologie, Gesundheitspsychologie, Gerontologie und öffentliche Gesundheit arbeiten. Es ist auch für Praktiker wie Berater, Life Coaches, Psychotherapeuten, Organisationspsychologen, Gesundheitsfachleute, Sozialarbeiter und Planer im Bereich der öffentlichen Gesundheit von Interesse.

In der gebauten und vom Menschen beeinflussten Umwelt manifestiert sich unser Leben: Lebenshaltung, Lebensformen, Lebensentwurf. Indem man Architektur neu denkt, hat man daher das Potential, die derzeitige Form unseres Lebens zu überdenken. Ein solches Neu, Anders braucht eine Sensibilisierung für die Relevanz der gebauten Umwelt, für die Werte und Zielgrößen, die hinter einer bestimmten Gestaltung stehen und braucht einen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Diskurs zu der zentralen Frage: Wie wollen wir leben? Wie dürfen wir leben? Vor dem Hintergrund ökologischer und ökonomischer Fairness: Welche Lebensformen sind kompatibel mit einer möglichst hohen Lebensqualität für uns alle, als Teil eines Ökosystems, mit dem unser Wohlbefinden unauflöslich verbunden ist. In diesem Band kommen namhafte Expertinnen aus Österreich, der Schweiz und Deutschland aus den Disziplinen der Architektur, der Psychologie, der Kunst und Kunstdidaktik zu Wort, die sich zu der Relevanz und zu den Voraussetzungen einersolchen Debatte äußern.

This volume creates a platform to showcase health geography research from countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and draws on theoretical and methodological innovations to initiate a discussion on the complexities of the issues impacting health in the region. Through theoretically and empirically grounded contributions from a variety of researchers working across SSA, the book addresses a wide range of topics that are usually treated separately when discussing health geography in the region. By bridging the social science and health disciplines, the book introduces new ways of thinking temporally and spatially about these topics in non-geography contexts as well. In 4 sections, the text will broadly appeal to students, researchers, teachers, policy makers, and global health professionals. Section 1 addresses the social determinants of health, including gender, disability, and other inequities and inequalities associated with healthcare access. Section 2 discusses the environmental determinants of health such as food security, water and sanitation, mining, and climate change. Section 3 focuses on current and emerging challenges to health in SSA, including ageing, non-communicable disease, and infectious diseases. Section 4 concludes the text by discussing the need to develop social and environmental intervention policies and strategies to address health challenges in SSA.

This book examines the science and practice of character strengths as the backbone for understanding, studying, and applying positive interventions across a wide range of disabilities. It explores character strengths as positive personality qualities most central to an individual¿s identity that create positive outcomes for building well-being and managing adversities and contribute to the collective good. The book recognizes disability as a part of the human experience that can emerge for anyone and the necessity for examining and applying strengths-based approaches. It explores what is known about character strengths and various disabilities from a science and practice perspective. The book reviews research on the assessment, correlations, concepts, populations, and applications of character strengths across disabilities. It disseminates disparate research and little-known best practices and hypothetical practices, along with multiple case examples, in the effort to advance the science and practice, bring a balanced approach to the field, and contribute to human flourishing.Key topics of coverage include: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and character strengths. Intellectual and physical disabilities, medical illness and character strengths. Mental and emotional disorders (e.g., trauma) and character strengths. Character strengths and disability across special issues including justice, inclusion, dual-diagnosis, and spirituality. Understanding character strengths as internal capacities and abilities across disabilities, problems, and suffering. Character Strengths - the Abilities Within Disabilities is an essential and valuable resource for researchers, professors, clinicians, practitioners, and therapists as well as graduate students in the fields of developmental and positive psychology, rehabilitation, social work, special education, occupational, speech and language therapy, public health, and healthcare policy.
