Sundhedsvæsen

SYGEPLEJE TIL IMMOBILE PATIENTERSelv et kortvarigt sengeleje kan medføre alvorlige komplikationer for patienter og borgere, hvorfor viden om korrekt lejring, mobilisering og opfyldelse af fundamentale behov er af afgørende betydning for at kunne forebygge komplikationer.Med udgangspunkt i huskereglen TOPSKUD beskriver de enkelte kapitler i HÅNDBOG I SYGEPLEJE: IMMOBILITET de hyppigste komplikationer med fokus på definition, anatomi og fysiologi, den sygeplejefaglige problemstilling, relevante observationer og interventioner, evt. parakliniske undersøgelser, behandling, prognose og profylakse.TOPSKUD står for:TromboseObstipationPneumoniSpidsfod/smerterKontrakturerUrinvejsinfektionDecubitusBogen er målrettet sygeplejestuderende, nyuddannede og nyansatte sygeple­jersker, der til daglig arbejder med immobile patienter og borgere i det danske sundhedsvæsen, og forfatterne er forskere og sundhedsprofessionelle, kliniske vejledere og undervisere på tværs af landet.

Medicinske og kirurgiske cases i sygepleje er ikke som de gængse, teoretiske lærebøger i sygepleje. Formålet her er ikke at udfolde sygeplejen i hele sit væsen eller at beskrive kompleksiteten i professionen, men derimod at tilbyde en supplerende læringsform med fokus på klinisk sygepleje i helt konkrete, praksisnære patientforløb.Simplificering af sygeplejen er valgt ud fra et pædagogisk didaktisk hensyn, da caseformen støtter den kliniske beslutningstagen med fokus på den refleksive tankeproces, der fører frem til handlingen og viser overvejelserne bag. En kundskab, som for eksperten er lige så vanskelig at lære fra sig, som den er at tilegne sig for novicen, de studerende og de nyuddannede.Caseformen støtter læseren i at omsætte sin teoretiske viden til praksis. Gennem 115 cases på tværs af 17 medicinske og kirurgiske specialer kan læseren med sig selv som hovedperson øve sig i, hvordan sygepleje til en patient i en lignende problemstilling kan se ud – i både akutte og kroniske forløb. Formen giver fagligt råderum, da den understøtter det faktum, at sygepleje altid er personcentreret og tager udgangspunkt i den konkrete patientens særlige situation – de mange patientindividuelle forhold skal altid afspejle sig i den konkrete sygepleje.Medicinske og kirurgiske cases i sygepleje er skrevet af erfarne kliniske sygeplejersker og repræsenterer anerkendt og aktuel dansk sygeplejefaglig praksis inden for de valgte specialer. Casebogen henvender sig særligt til sygeplejestuderende som forberedelse til den kliniske del af sygeplejeuddannelsen og til nyuddannede og nyansatte som introduktion til deres nye kliniske speciale.

The inside story of how Big Pharma's relentless pursuit of ever-higher profits corrupts medical knowledge?misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health.The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries?yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.In this no-holds-barred exposé, Dr. John Abramson?one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics?combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. For example, one of pharma's best-kept secrets is that the peer reviewers charged with ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the clinical trial reports published in medical journals do not even have access to complete data and must rely on manufacturer-influenced summaries. Likewise for the experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care?and presents a path toward genuine reform.

Written with equal parts sensitivity, curiosity and rigor, this work illuminates the lingering mystery of the mind while paying tribute to those who struggle daily with its most devastating failures.

A Holistic View on Human Developmental Foundations andCardiovascular HealthPhysical, mental, emotional, and social aspects all come together in the delicate journey that is human growth. The rich tapestry is held together at its core by the beating heart, an organ that not only keeps us alive but also has a significant impact on how we grow as individuals. Improving people's health requires an appreciation of the relationship between basic human development and cardiovascular wellness.Growing Strong: A Heart-Healthy Plan for Physical DevelopmentAn delicate dance of genetic material prepares the groundwork for the formation of organs, including the heart, in the womb, where human development starts. Establishing a solid framework for a robust cardiovascular system begins during the prenatal period. Heart development can be greatly affected by factors like genetic predispositions, maternal diet, and exposure to pollutants.A child's nutritional intake, level of physical activity, and general way of life all play a role in their evolving physical development as they enter the world. For optimal heart health, it is vital to eat a diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids. The formation of a strong cardiovascular system is aided by these nutrients, which impact things like cholesterol levels, the health of blood vessels, and the overall function of the heart.

The Complete Guide to Holistic Health: Unlocking the Secrets of Biopsychosocial Wellness for Lasting Well-being is purposed towards readers' self-help and self-supervision, with practical knowledge and applicable tools that all people can work with to promote wellness, and to repair, develop, and maintain their multifaceted well-being.

Biopsychosocial holism seeks to complement specialization by recognizing-and then converging-added pieces to the puzzle of wellness or added colors to the full spectrum of health. Resulting in innovations created synergistically, our writers' holism takes on new dimensionality, a deeper and broader understanding of what makes humans tick best. As with all ethically concerned healers, this book's authors recommend that readers seek specialist help whenever a situation warrants special attention beyond what they, the readers, can do on their own. This self-help book offers verified preventive, curative, and maintenance guidelines that will save readers time, money, and needless physical and psychological aggravations and that will provide the proper building blocks to structure their future wellness and health program, whatever a reader's current state of wellness may be. This book's accessible outlook, with best-practice lessons from the West and the East, and informed by wellness holists writing about their holistic practices, is further unified by the "Recurring Subject Index" at its end.

In the aftermath of the pandemic, preexisting challenges in healthcare organizations have intensified. Stress, burnout, staffing shortages, and even the erosion of trust in organizational leadership are pressing issues that need solutions.Using construction as their metaphor, authors Joe Tye and Bob Dent make a compelling case that a healthcare organization's Invisible Architecture-a foundation of core values, a superstructure of organizational culture, and the interior finish of workplace attitude-is no less important than its visible architecture.In this third edition of Building a Culture of Ownership in Healthcare, readers will learn how investing in their organization and their people can enable a significant, successful change in productivity; employee engagement; nurse satisfaction, recruitment, and retention; quality of care; patient satisfaction; and positive financial outcomes.

"Why do kids born in the summer get diagnosed more often with A.D.H.D.? How are marathons harmful for your health, even when you're not running? What do surgeons and salesmen have in common? Which annual event made people 30 percent more likely to contract COVID-19? As a University of Chicago-trained economist and Harvard medical school professor and doctor, Anupam Jena is uniquely equipped to answer these questions. And as a critical care doctor at Massachusetts General who researches health care policy, Christopher Worsham confronts its impact on the hospital's sickest patients.

They help us see the way our health is shaped by forces invisible to the untrained eye. Do you choose the veteran doctor or the rookie? Do you take the appointment on Monday or on Friday? Do you get the procedure now or wait a week? These questions are rife with significance; their impact can be life changing. In a style that's animated and enlightening, this book empowers you to see past the white coat and find out what really makes medicine work-and how it could work better"--

Based on extensive field research, the essays in this volume illuminate the experiences of migrants from their own point of view, providing a critical understanding of the complex social reality in which each experience is grounded. Access to medical care for migrants is a fundamental right which is often ignored. The book provides a critical understanding of the social reality in which social inequalities are grounded and offers the opportunity to show that right to health does not correspond uniquely with access to healthcare.

The COVID-19 pandemic functioned as a stark illuminator, exposing the deep-seated cracks in social and material support for those in caregiving roles. Despite the resilience of care workers and essential personnel, the lack of robust connections and infrastructure became apparent, impacting these individuals but resonating across the broader public. The pandemic laid bare the lengths people must go to care for others and the urgent need for interconnectedness and support within caregiving realms. Perspectives on Social and Material Fractures in Care offers a multi-disciplinary exploration of care, drawing on existing theoretical frameworks, empirical research, and personal stories. By navigating the complexities of care at various levels, the book aims to provide a profound understanding of the current state of affairs. Moreover, it does not stop at diagnosis; it seeks to propel the conversation forward by delving into ethical, intersectional, and life-sustaining approaches to enhance the very fabric of caregiving. As we confront the pressing issues surrounding who receives care, who is expected to care, and the seemingly off-limits aspects of societal concern, the book becomes a vital resource for academics, higher education professionals, and students eager to grasp the intricate dynamics of care in the contemporary United States.
