Book Description
Le bénévolat en soins palliatifs prend une multitude de formes et revêt plusieurs sens. Selon chacun des individus qui s'y engagent, les milieux d'intervention ou les contextes sociaux dans lesquels il s'actualise. Mais cette diversité se rassemble sous un dénominateur commun : «l'accompagnement». Accompagner, c'est accepter librement de donner du temps à l'autre dans un univers où le temps est compté ; c'est respecter le rythme de l'autre, le soutenir dans ses propres choix, être présent et l'écouter ; c'est maintenir ou créer du lien tant qu'il y a de la vie. Être bénévole en soins palliatifs, c'est se solidariser avec les personnes malades, leur famille et les professionnels de la santé et des services sociaux, afin de répondre à l'ensemble des besoins ressentis en fin de vie. Chacun des textes de cet ouvrage illustre à sa façon comment se déploie la solidarité à travers le bénévolat en soins palliatifs.

Book Description
Les soins palliatifs, en plein essor, sont au cœur de l'activité professionnelle infirmière. Cet ouvrage entièrement consacré aux soins infirmiers en soins palliatifs offre une base de référence pour la prise en charge des personnes gravement malades et de leur entourage. Une première partie présente une réflexion de fond sur les soins palliatifs (cadre juridique, éthique...) en insistant sur la spécificité du soin infirmier et sur les ressources personnelles et professionnelles des soignants. Une seconde partie offre une approche utile et pertinente de la pratique démontrant comment « prendre soin » trouve tout son sens au quotidien. Ainsi, la démarche soignante est abordée à l'aide d'exemples concrets : relation d'aide, diagnostics infirmiers prévalents, les soins du corps (hygiène et bien-être corporel, alimentation, sommeil, etc.) y compris les techniques particulières, notamment dans le soulagement de la douleur. Les auteurs proposent des méthodes d'évaluation ainsi qu'une approche complémentaire des soins (relaxation, art-thérapie...). Enfin, l'ouvrage s'achève sur une présentation des structures et réseaux existants. Ce guide complet et pédagogique s'adresse aux étudiant(e)s en IFSI et aux infirmier(e)s confronté(e)s à des patients gravement atteints ou en fin de vie, quel que soit leur mode d'exercice. Il intéressera également les aides-soignant(e)s et les autres professionnels de la santé qui prennent en charge de façon pluridisciplinaire ces patients. Cette cinquième édition intègre les dernières données réglementaires et propose une mise à jour de la partie "Éthique" avec notamment les évolutions du recueil des directives anticipées et de la désignation de la personne de confiance, l'évaluation de la loi Leonetti et les perspectives ouvertes par le rapport SICARD. Fruit d'un travail collectif, cet ouvrage a été rédigé par une trentaine d'infirmier(e)s du Collège des acteurs en soins infirmiers de la Société française d'accompagnement et de soins palliatifs (SFAP) qui représente le mouvement de soins palliatifs français.

Book Description
Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts. This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.

Book Description
Oldness: a social construct at odds with reality that constrains how we live after middle age and stifles business thinking on how to best serve a group of consumers, workers, and innovators that is growing larger and wealthier with every passing day. Over the past two decades, Joseph F. Coughlin has been busting myths about aging with groundbreaking multidisciplinary research into what older people actually want -- not what conventional wisdom suggests they need. In The Longevity Economy, Coughlin provides the framing and insight business leaders need to serve the growing older market: a vast, diverse group of consumers representing every possible level of health and wealth, worth about $8 trillion in the United States alone and climbing. Coughlin provides deep insight into a population that consistently defies expectations: people who, through their continued personal and professional ambition, desire for experience, and quest for self-actualization, are building a striking, unheralded vision of longer life that very few in business fully understand. His focus on women -- they outnumber men, control household spending and finances, and are leading the charge toward tomorrow's creative new narrative of later life -- is especially illuminating. Coughlin pinpoints the gap between myth and reality and then shows businesses how to bridge it. As the demographics of global aging transform and accelerate, it is now critical to build a new understanding of the shifting physiological, cognitive, social, family, and psychological realities of the longevity economy.

Book Description
The importance of palliative care for children facing life threatening illness and their families is now widely acknowledged as an essential part of care, which should be available to all children and families, throughout the child's illness and at the end of life. The new edition of the Oxford Textbook of Palliative Care for Children brings together the most up to date information, current knowledge, evidence, and developments of clinical practice in the field. The book is structured into four sections. 'Foundations of Care' describes core issues, the foundations on which paediatric palliative care is based. 'Child and Family Care' looks at different aspects of psychological, social, and cultural care for the sick child or young person, and their family. These chapters cover the time course of the illness, around the time of death and support for the bereaved family. 'Symptom Care' focuses on the uses of medication, specific symptoms, and their management. Finally, 'Delivery of Care' examines practical approaches to care in different environments and the needs of clinicians. Two new editors join the team from Canada and South Africa, reflecting our aims to contribute towards the development of care for children across the world, and to be a resource for both experienced clinicians and those new to the field. Comprehensive in scope, exhaustive in detail, and definitive in authority, this third edition has been thoroughly updated to cover new practices, current epidemiological data, and the evolving models that support the delivery of palliative medicine to children. This includes two new chapters, looking in detail at 'Decision Making' and 'Perinatal Care', and a new section highlighting the emerging importance of 'Palliative Care for Children in Humanitarian Crises'. This book is an essential resource for anyone who works with children worldwide.
