Die Unterstützung alter Menschen in Deutschland durch Betreuungskräfte aus Osteuropa ist zu einer bekannten und beliebten Versorgungsform geworden. Trotz ihrer großen Verbreitung beinhaltet sie viele Schwachstellen hinsichtlich der pflegerischen Qualität, der arbeitsrechtlichen Gestaltung und der ethischen Verantwortung für die Beteiligten. Ansätze zu veränderten Gestaltungsformen kommen von wissenschaftlicher (sozial-)ethischer Seite sowie vom Bundesverband Diakonie Deutschland. Sie favorisieren einen Mix verschiedener Akteur:innen: professionelle Pflege, pflegende Angehörige und verantwortungsbewusste Agenturen. Das Buch zeigt bestehende Probleme auf und benennt denkbare Lösungsstrategien. Es verbindet wissenschaftliche Grundlagen mit praxisorientiertem Vorgehen. Mit Flexibilität und Bereitschaft zu neuer Aufgabenverteilung kann das häusliche Pflegesetting gestaltet werden.

I've witnessed many aspects of nursing, the good, bad and ugly. I've found most nurses, aides and physical therapist to be compassionate but overworked. I wanted to create a tool to Revive, Empower and Motivate this next generation to embrace this profession and give it the energy needed for the service required.Nursing requires a lot of skill and compassion, care/compassion being the operative word because it is part of the healing process. One can go through the processes all day long but when the compassion is missing it reflects in the mental and physical attitude of the patient.Nurses Wield Grace and Grit brings awareness to the need for grace to administer the work of the profession and grit to operate under the pressure to perform. In an effort to meet the needs of their patients nurses are confronted with their own issues such as exhaustion from long hours, compassion fatigue, team and management conflicts, etc. There are tools within this book to address those issues and so much more.

This book is inspired by the term ¿digiwine,¿ a neologism referring to the production and/or marketing of wine through the use of new technologies and robotics such as vineyard information systems, sensor units, weather stations, drones, robotic harvesters, social media videos, digital labels, and wine apps. The alcohol industry is using these technologies to develop digital strategies and online tools for more efficient sales of wine. This book analyzes the use of digital alcohol marketing, the reasons for it, the role of regulation, and its social impact. In particular, malignant forms of alcohol marketing to youth are precisely described through exact case descriptions from the global milieu. The author questions whether the loopholes in the legislation or inefficiency of self-regulation have negative consequences that can no longer be prevented by public health care programs.When and how did the alcohol industry become so deeply interwoven in our lives that we mindlessly advertise and parade in its shadow on social media and that we increasingly buy alcohol digitally for fun, in innovative packaging, and with strange ingredients combinations? Dr. Mojca Ram¿ak¿s book peels back the layers of the alcohol industry¿s most obvious yet overlooked marketing tactics. It also reveals the sluggishness of preventive and curative efforts, as well as legal or self-regulatory measures, at keeping up with the alcohol industry¿s use of technology. - Nadja Furlan ¿tante, Principal Research Associate and Professor of Religious Studies, Science and Research Centre of Koper, Slovenia.

Flourish aims to support you as a midwife to do two things: to name what's going on around you and within you, then to find and claim your distinctive place in the midwifery world. You might be a newly qualified or early career midwife facing the challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you're an established midwife but feel as though you have lost your way - and with it the impetus to reshape either yourself or the environment you work in. Perhaps you're a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to connect with your team, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach out for resources and tools to support them to thrive, reflect and grow.As a guidebook, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how 'standard' maternity environments and practices might be impacting you personally, and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your personality, purpose and passion. We'll tackle trauma, moral injury, burnout and compassion fatigue, then employ array of exercises to find a way back 'home', to a place where your sense of motivation for being a midwife is rekindled. A place where you can reconnect to your values, strengths, the world you want to live in and your unique voice. Once you're there, you will be able to make real, rich choices about your life and your career.

The authors reveal how a hugely successful healthcare project was undermined and dismantled, to the detriment of mothers and babies, the wider community and the midwifery profession as a whole.

Many primary care clinicians are busy to the point of being overwhelmed and there is not time to do thorough evaluations on every patient. The outpatient clinician must be able to quickly identify and manage the overtly ill but also those with potential or even hidden issues that require a referral to the emergency department.This book provides a concise yet comprehensive summary of the various conditions the primary care practitioner could encounter in his/her office that require emergency department referral. Organized system by system, this manual provides short, readable yet detailed descriptions of situations where the clinician must make the quick decision to escalate the level of care.The book is comprised of thirteen main sections, each detailing a medical specialty and is further broken down into specific conditions within these specialties. The specialties that are featured are cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, HEENT, hematology and oncology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, gynecology, ophthalmology, psychiatry, pulmonology and urology. The chapters are broken down into five key aspects. First, a brief synopsis of the problem is identified covering the incidence, the risk factors and general information to give the clinician the insight to manage the situation. Next, there is a review of key elements of the history that can elucidate whether the patient has or does not have the emergent condition. Physical exam findings that the clinician can look for during the evaluation are then discussed followed by diagnostics that the clinician can get quickly the same day to help evaluate the situation. Lastly, treatments that can be provided while waiting for the urgent or emergent condition to be evaluated are identified. Written by experts in the field, Managing Emergencies in the Outpatient Setting is a valuable resource for primary care physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners alike.
