Stories from the ER: a doctor shows how empathy, creativity, and imagination are the cornerstones of clinical care.To be an emergency room doctor is to be a professional listener to stories. Each patient presents a story; finding the heart of that story is the doctor’s most critical task. More technology, more tests, and more data won’t work if doctors get the story wrong. Empathy, creativity, and imagination are the cornerstones of clinical care. In Tornado of Life, ER physician Jay Baruch offers a series of short, powerful, and affecting essays that capture the stories of ER patients in all their complexity and messiness.Patients come to the ER with lives troubled by scales of misfortune that have little to do with disease or injury. ER doctors must be problem-finders before they are problem-solvers. Cheryl, for example, whose story is a chaos narrative of “and this happened, and then that happened, and then, and then and then and then,” tells Baruch she is "stuck in a tornado of life.” What will help her, and what will help Mr. K., who seems like a textbook case of post-combat PTSD but turns out not to be? Baruch describes, among other things, the emergency of loneliness (invoking Chekhov, another doctor-writer); his own (frightening) experience as a patient; the patient who demanded a hug; and emergency medicine during COVID-19. These stories often end without closure or solutions. The patients are discharged into the world. But if they’re lucky, the doctor has listened to their stories as well as treated them.

Everyone experiences struggles and challenges at some point in life. In the UK, if you have children under five years of age, you have the opportunity of support from a highly trained health professional called a health visitor. This often-misunderstood postgraduate role involves helping families to improve their health while navigating the hurdles of life. The emotional mountain of daily struggles can seem overwhelming for young families. The health visiting service offers a metaphorical hand to hold alongside practical help and advice enabling parents to climb life's occasionally difficult and often emotional mountains. To regard health as something that can be created, maintained, and improved is the mission of the health visiting service. Prevention of ill-health has always been seen as imperative. The health visitor encourages families towards this goal by offering support for their family health needs. Through case study this book offers insight into how the health visitor manages to create health and prevent ill-health with some surprising results. Managing the steppingstones to good health and avoiding the pitfalls of poor mental health can often seem impossible for new or even experienced parents. Accepting the helping hand of the health visiting service has the power to deliver a positive and quite profound effect. This book lifts the veil on the largely hidden work of this unsung, health professional. In this book you will find that the role of the health visitor is so much more complex than their famed job of 'just weighing babies.'

The 1918 outbreak of the H1N1 strain of influenza, popularly known as the Spanish flu, killed more people worldwide than World War I, which ended the same year.

For næsten alle voksne er sex vigtigt, værdifuldt og en privat sag. At kunne udleve sin seksualitet fremmer sundhed og trivsel. Professionelle i hjemmeplejen, på plejecentre, bosteder, hospitaler, i lægepraksis og socialforvaltninger møder mennesker som ikke kan udleve deres seksualitet på grund af fx sygdom, alder, skader eller sociale forhold. Eller som, måske på grund af skader i hjernen, udlever seksualiteten på måder som kan være ubehagelige for personale og andre i nærheden. Hvordan åbner du som professionel en tryg samtale om noget så privat? Hvordan kan du faktisk hjælpe når samtalen er i gang? Seksuel sundhed og omsorg er en håndbog som giver: Faglig viden om menneskers seksualitet og om forskellige kulturer, værdier og normer for sex. Faglig viden om kommunikation som bryder tabuer og skaber samarbejde. 20 eksempler på brug af denne viden i realistiske dilemmaer for professionelle. Løsninger og metoder til at tage vare på både givere og modtagere af behandling og omsorg

In Victoria, Australia, the introduction of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) to the health care team in Emergency Departments (EDs) effectively contributed to care for patients with minor illnesses and minor injuries. These advanced nurses treat low acuity patients in an attempt to compensate for the shortage of medical staff in EDs. The implementation of the ENP role has enabled experienced Emergency Nurses to extend their SOP include ordering diagnostic investigations and prescribing medications for minor presentations, allowing care from initial presentation through to disposition. The ENP specialty is the fastest growing of the Australian Nurse Practitioner (NP) models: experiencing a 61% increase in numbers during the period 2010-2013 (Jennings, McKeown, O'Reilly, & Gardner, 2013) the ENP specialty represents approximately onethird of the total Australian endorsed NPs (Middleton, Gardner, Gardner, & Della, 2011). However, the introduction of a new level of nursing within an already well-established ED team has disrupted traditional understandings about the roles and responsibilities of nurses within the ED (Person & Spiva, 2013). Clarification of the ambiguities surrounding the ENP role, SOP, and model of care remains elusive despite the fact that the NP role was introduced nationally in 2000 and in the State of Victoria in 2004 (Driscoll, Worrall-Carter, O'Reilly, & Stewart, 2005; Lowe, Plummer, O'Brien, & Boyd, 2012).

Sygeplejersker i den primære sundhedssektor skal i stigende grad kunne håndtere, pleje og behandle borgere med vanskelige sundhedsfaglige problemstillinger. Det sker fordi flere og flere borgere behandles i eget hjem eller på institutioner uden for sygehusene.

Hvordan ydes sygepleje af høj kvalitet til immobile patienter?At være immobil er ikke en sygdom i sig selv, men immobile patienter er i øget risiko for en lang række af sygdomme, og konsekvenserne for manglende bevægelse påvirker bl.a. hjerte, kredsløb, knogler, hud, fordøjelse og muskler. Med denne grundbog indføres læseren i den komplekse sygepleje, der skal ydes til immobile patienter, hvad enten disse er bevidstløs (total immobilitet) eller har funkionsnedsættelse (delvis immobilitet).Bogen indeholder 12 fundamentale kapitler svarende til Sundhedsstyrelsens 12 sygeplejefaglige områder. Dette betyder, at immobilitet – som et gennemgående vandmærke – bliver holdt op mod lyset af følgende hovedemner: funktionsniveau, bevægeapparat, ernæring, hud og slimhinder, kommunikation, psykosociale forhold, respiration og cirkulation, seksualitet, smerter og sanseindtryk, søvn og hvile, viden og udvikling samt udskillelser. Tilsammen danner bogens kapitler en helhedsfremstilling af immobile patienters mange udfordringer gennem konsekvent brug af cases og refleksionsspørgsmål og velvalgte illustrationer.Bogen er målrettet sygeplejestuderende, som klædes på til at kunne varetage grundlæggende sygepleje af høj kvalitet til immobile patienter, men også uddannede sygeplejersker, kliniske undervisere i primær og sekundær sektor samt andre sundhedsprofessionelle kan med fordel læse med.Fagredaktør er Ben Farid Røjgaard Nielsen
