Denne nye udgave af Dokumentation og kvalitetsudvikling har sit fokus i et område med eksplosiv udvikling. I sundhedsvæsenet er der et stigende fokus på et forskningsbaseret fagligt grundlag for sundhedsydelser, og der er høje forventninger til kvaliteten af disse, både i tilrettelæggelsen af patient- og borgerforløb og i samspillet og kommunikationen mellem patient/borger og sundhedspersonale.Bogen behandler gennem 19 kapitler dette område og indledes med et par historiske oversigtskapitler om de strategier og handleplaner, der har ført Danmark frem mod nutidens høje niveau inden for kvalitetsudvikling og dokumentation.I bogen belyses forskellige aspekter af kvalitetsudvikling: kvalitetsudviklingsprocessen, patientforløb, patientsikkerhed, evidensbaseret praksis, kliniske retningslinjer, kliniske kvalitetsdatabaser, klinisk kvalitetsledelse samt kvalitative og kvantitative metoder til kvalitetsudvikling i sundhedsvæsenet.Derudover belyses dokumentationen som en naturlig relation til kvalitetsudvikling: Dokumentation af data, som understøtter den faglige kommunikation om en sundhedsfaglig høj kvalitet og gode patientforløb samt kvalitetsmonitorering og -udvikling. Her beskrives dokumentationens rammer og krav, selve dokumentationsprocessen, de mangeartede it-systemer på hospitaler og i primærsektoren, samt den digitale kommunikation og det digitale samarbejde i sundhedsvæsenet.Bogen afrundes med en perspektivering over udfordringer og effekter af kvalitetsudvikling og dokumentation.Med udgangspunkt i en tværfaglig kvalitetsudvikling og dokumentation kan bogen anvendes af alle faggrupper i sundhedsvæsenet, om end bogen oftest anvender eksempler fra sygepleje til at skabe forståelse for specifikke begreber inden for kvalitetsudvikling og dokumentation. Den helt nødvendige forståelse for området hos sundhedsvæsenets ansatte giver grund til at anvende bogen både i klinisk praksis og i alle de sundhedsfaglige uddannelser, hvor der arbejdes med kvalitetsudvikling, klinisk lederskab, klinisk beslutningstagning, patientforløb og dokumentation.
Dette kompendium handler om medicinsk psykologi og sundhedspsykologi i klinisk praksis. Kompendiet belyser, hvad der kan påvirke sundheds-og sygdomsadfærd, og hvordan man kan korrigere uhensigtsmæssigadfærd, herunder risikoadfærd, med henblik på at fremme sundhed og forebygge sygdom. De sundhedspsykologiske begreber og teorier perspektiveres løbende til læge-patient-forholdet, ligesom der gives råd til god kommunikation.Kompendiet dækker de emner, der udgør pensum i kurset medicinsk psykologi og sundhedspsykologi på medicinstudiet, og er således primærtmålrettet studerende på dette kursus. Kompendiet er dog også relevant i forbindelse med kurset i voksen- og børnepsykiatri på kandidatdelen af medicinstudiet, hvor kendskab til de forskellige sundhedspsykologiske teorier kan lette forståelsen af en række psykiatriske lidelser og aktuelle udrednings- og behandlingsstrategier. Endelig kan kompendiet anvendes af studerende på andre sundhedsfaglige uddannelser, der berører medicinsk psykologi og sundhedspsykologi.
Forfatteren har bygget bogen op ud fra den opfattelse, at en tæt kontakt mellem tekst og billeder letter forståelsen af et vanskeligt stof. Resultatet er en gennemillustreret bog, hvor forfatteren i bogens første del "Embryologi" skildrer fostrets udvikling trin for trin og hvordan de forskellige variationer og anomalier, man støder på under udviklingen, er opstået.I bogens anden halvdel beskriver forfatteren arvelighedslære, læren om generne, populationsgenetik, prænatal diagnostik, genetisk rådgivning og genteknologi.Vigtig viden ikke kun for sygeplejestuderende, men for mange andre faggrupper inden for sundhedssektoren.

In this sweeping cultural history of nursing from the Stone Age to the present, the critically acclaimed author of Early pays homage to the profession and makes an urgent call for change. Nurses have always been vital to human existence. A nurse was likely there when you were born and a nurse might well be there when you die. Familiar in hospitals and doctors' offices, these dedicated health professionals can also be found in schools, prisons, and people's homes; at summer camps; on cruise ships, and even at NASA. Yet despite being celebrated during the Covid-19 epidemic, nurses are often undermined and undervalued in ways that reflect misogyny and racism, and that extend to their working conditions?and affect the care available to everyone. But the potential power of nursing to create a healthier, more just world endures.The story of nursing is complicated. It is woven into war, plague, religion, the economy, and our individual lives in myriad ways. In Taking Care, journalist Sarah DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today?caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are actively changing the world, often invisibly. An absorbing and empathetic work that combines storytelling with nuanced reporting, Taking Care examines how we have always tried to care for each other?the incredible ways we have succeeded and the ways in which we have failed. Fascinating, empowering and significant, it is a call for change and a love letter to the nurses of yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
An insider view of the surprising innovations, collaborations and human stories behind our most vital medicines.
