Specialiseringer inden for sygepleje

Hospice – æstetik, eksistens og omsorg præsenterer den mangfoldighed af empiriske undersøgelser, som de seneste år er foretaget på danske hospicer. Bogen er forskningsbaseret og giver indblik i den nyeste viden på området. Den er skrevet af forfattere med baggrund i vidt forskellige fagområder såsom sygepleje, teologi, filosofi og antropologi, men alle med en særlig indsigt i hospice som fagligt område.Bogen henvender sig til alle, der arbejder med eller på anden måde interesserer sig for hospicefeltet. Den er relevant i både professionsbacheloruddannelser, diplom-, master- og kandidatuddannelser. Det samme gælder efteruddannelser inden for fag, der har berøring med palliation. Den vil ligeledes være relevant for politikere og andre beslutningstagere med interesse for sundhedsområdet og for den, der blot ønsker indsigt i, hvad der kendetegner hospicefeltet i Danmark.Hospice – æstetik, eksistens og omsorg er opbygget om fire grundtemaer. Først er der tre introducerende kapitler om hospice som institution i Danmark. Herefter er der fokus på æstetik, fordi der generelt gøres meget ud af, at patienter og pårørende kan opleve at være i smukke omgivelser. Eksistens er et tredje vigtigt tema, og her giver bogen forskellige billeder på både livet og døden.  Det fjerde tema er omsorg, der belyses ud fra flere perspektiver.

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.

What Resilience Is Resilience is a coping skill. It is the practical ability to recover quickly from difficulties. It's like having a mental and emotional toolkit that helps you bounce back from setbacks. For instance, if you lose your job, resilience helps you cope with the initial shock and stress and then motivates you to update your resume and start applying for new positions, rather than getting stuck in despair. It's about facing life's problems head-on, rather than avoiding them. Imagine you leak in your roof. Resilience is grabbing a bucket to catch the water, calling a repair service, and perhaps figuring out a temporary fix, instead of just hoping the leak will stop on its own.

Addressing Common Misconceptions and Fears about Palliative CareThe first step to understanding palliative care is to address the misconceptions and fears that surround it. It is essential to know what it truly is for a person with a serious illness and their family. Let's address these misconceptions and clarify what palliative care actually is and how it can help.Misconception #1: Palliative care means giving up on life.Truth: While palliative care does address the dying process, it is not intended to give up on treatment. It works alongside treatment options to improve quality of life at the end of life. By providing pain management, symptom relief, emotional support, and spiritual care, palliative care helps individuals live fully, die peacefully, and make the most of their remaining time before death.Misconception #2: Palliative care means treatment has been given up.Truth: Palliative care can be provided either alone or alongside other treatments. Sometimes, treatments can help slow or stop the progression of a disease, while palliative care focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Palliative care and treatment complement each other and help patients achieve their goals.Here are some additional tips for addressing misconceptions and fears about palliative care:· Talk to your doctor or another healthcare provider about palliative care. They can help you understand what it is and how it can benefit you or your loved one.· Read about palliative care online or in books. There is a wealth of information available to help you learn more about this important type of care.· Talk to other people who have received palliative care. They can share their personal experiences and help you to see the benefits of this type of care.

A riveting, incisive, and wide-ranging book about the Right to Die movement, and the doctors, patients, and activists at the heart of this increasingly urgent issue.*Finalist for the New York Public Library's 2022 Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism "A remarkably nuanced, empathetic, and well-crafted work of journalism."-Brooke Jarvis, The New YorkerMore states and countries are passing right-to-die laws that allow the sick and suffering to end their lives at pre-planned moments, with the help of physicians. But The Inevitable moves beyond margins of the law to the people who are meticulously planning their final hours-far from medical offices, legislative chambers, hospital ethics committees, and polite conversation. Further still, it shines a light on the people who help them: loved ones and, sometimes, clandestine groups on the Internet that together form the "euthanasia underground."Katie Engelhart, a veteran journalist, focuses on six people representing different aspects of the right to die debate. Two are doctors: a California physician who runs a boutique assisted death clinic and has written more lethal prescriptions than anyone else in the U.S.; an Australian named Philip Nitschke who lost his medical license for teaching people how to end their lives painlessly and peacefully at "DIY Death" workshops. The other four chapters belong to people who said they wanted to die because they were suffering unbearably-of old age, chronic illness, dementia, and mental anguish-and saw suicide as their only option.Spanning North America, Europe, and Australia, The Inevitable offers a deeply reported and fearless look at a morally tangled subject. It introduces readers to ordinary people who are fighting to find dignity and authenticity in the final hours of their lives.

A Surgeon General's Advisory is a public statement that calls the American people's attention to an urgent public health issue and provides recommendations for how it should be addressed. Advisories are reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation's immediate awareness and action. This Advisory calls attention to the growing concerns about the effects of social media on youth mental health. It explores and describes the current evidence on the positive and negative impacts of social media on children and adolescents, some of the primary areas for mental health and well-being concerns, and opportunities for additional research to help understand the full scope and scale of social media's impact. This document is not an exhaustive review of the literature. Rather, it was developed through a substantial review of the available evidence, primarily found via electronic searches of research articles published in English and resources suggested by a wide range of subject matter experts, with priority given to, but not limited to, meta-analyses and systematic literature reviews. It also offers actionable recommendations for the institutions that can shape online environments-policymakers and technology companies-as well as for what parents and caregivers, young people, and researchers can do.

As students venturing into the field of endocrinology, it is essential to understand the significant role that pediatric endocrinology plays in the overall health and well-being of children. Pediatric endocrinology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of hormone-related disorders in children, specifically those related to growth, development, and metabolism. This subchapter aims to shed light on the importance of pediatric endocrinology and its impact on children's health.One of the primary reasons pediatric endocrinology is crucial is its role in identifying and addressing growth disorders in children. Growth is a vital aspect of a child's development, and any abnormalities in growth patterns can indicate an underlying endocrine disorder. Pediatric endocrinologists are trained to assess and treat conditions such as short stature, delayed or precocious puberty, and growth hormone deficiencies, ensuring that children receive appropriate interventions to optimize their growth potential.Another significant area of concern is the impact of pediatric endocrine disorders on a child's metabolism. Hormones play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, and any disruptions can lead to conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or obesity. Pediatric endocrinologists are equipped to diagnose and manage these conditions, providing children with the necessary tools and guidance to lead healthy lives.Additionally, pediatric endocrinology is vital in addressing the emotional and psychological well-being of children. Hormonal imbalances, especially during puberty, can have profound effects on a child's mental health. Conditions such as gender dysphoria or disorders of sexual development require the expertise of pediatric endocrinologists who can provide comprehensive care and support to children and their families.Furthermore, pediatric endocrinology plays a pivotal role in ensuring the long-term health of children with endocrine disorders. By closely monitoring hormone levels, managing medications, and providing ongoing support, pediatric endocrinologists help children navigate the challenges associated with chronic conditions, improving their quality of life and reducing the risk of complications.

”Det er en hård dag i dag! Kan jeg virkelig være den eneste pårørende til en kræftramt, der i perioder bliver fyldt med afmagt, træthed og en stor følelse af ensomhed? Sygdommen har taget kontrollen over vores fælles liv."Pårørende til kræftpatienter er en overset gruppe i sundhedsvæsnet og på arbejdsmarkedet. Gennem en spørgeundersøgelse og otte interviews dokumenterer forfatter Anita Justesen, hvor vigtige de pårørende er for den kræftsyge, og hvor stor en byrde, der bæres af denne gruppe. I bogen fortælles om tabubelagte følelser, om et sundhedsvæsen, der har spillet fallit, om arbejdspladsers manglende forståelse og om venner og familie, der trækker sig.Endelig samles trådene i bogen til en række anbefalinger, der kan støtte op om de pårørende.Om forfatterenAnita Justesen (f. 1959), cand.mag. i historie og erhvervsøkonomi, stoppede med at arbejde, da hendes mand blev ramt af kræft. Denne bog er hendes personlige og kærlige opråb til omverdenen om, at man som pårørende har behov for at blive hørt, set og anerkendt for den indsats, man gør.
