Description
Palliative and end of life care are key public health targets worldwide and nurses are playing an important part in providing these services to all people in need. There are a growing number of clinicians, researchers and advocates who are dedicated to improving the quality of palliative care services and increasing access to them. The second edition of this innovative textbook has been extensively updated and over a third of the chapters have been newly commissioned from leading international experts. There are reviews of current research and policy literature where authors examine the evidence base for palliative care practice. There is greater attention to international developments in palliative care, including a new chapter on providing care in resource-poor settings. Focussing on palliative care for adults, the first three sections use a novel framework ? the trajectory of life-limiting illness ? to cover key issues including:
? What happens to people as they become ill?
? How individuals cope as they near death and are dying
? How families and friends deal with bereavement and loss
The final section addresses contemporary issues in nursing and inter-professional working.
In each chapter there are additional bullet point summaries of the content to assist the busy practitioner or student. As before the book is written in an informative and reader-friendly style.
Palliative Care Nursing is essential reading for post-registration nursing students and all nurses and health/social care professionals who provide care to people with advanced illness and those who are near the end of life.
