Após o surgimento da pandemia de COVID-19, tornou-se mais evidente a importância do profissional enfermeiro na atenção ao paciente em estado crítico. A complexidade clínica apresentada pelos pacientes que foram expostos a forma grave da doença exigiu da equipe multidisciplinar, mas principalmente do enfermeiro o conhecimento profundo de diversos protocolos terapêuticos. Associado a esta necessidade, tornou-se mais evidente as fragilidades teórico-práticas que os profissionais carregam mesmo após a formação universitária. A apresentação desta obra tem como objetivo atuar sobre estas fragilidades, servindo como fonte de pesquisa, mas também como ferramenta para o exercício do raciocínio clínico e um manual que norteará o caminho que o leitor deverá percorrer ao se iniciar o estudo sobre determinada patologia. A abordagem das doenças discutidas na obra, não tiveram como critério de escolha as características epidemiológicas, mas a amplitude do conhecimento abordado em cada sistema orgânico. Obra direcionada para as disciplinas de Saúde do Adulto e atenção ao paciente internado em unidade semi-intensiva e intensiva, para alunos cursando o curso de bacharel em enfermagem e especialização em UTI-Adulto. Pode servir como leitura complementar para disciplinas como Saúde do Idoso e Saúde da Mulher. Texto relevante para a consulta de profissionais das diversas áreas do conhecimento em saúde, devido à ampla discussão sobre aspectos fisiológicos e fisiopatológicos, além da aplicação dos estudos de caso como objeto de discussão para outras estratégias terapêuticas. Indicado também para professores de enfermagem que podem utilizar do conteúdo para direcionar discussões, incentivando o desenvolvimento da visão clínica dos estudantes.
The book will give a critical overview of the current research literature regarding the topic of clinical decision making and judgement in nursing. This is in contrast to other texts which either rely on anecdotal evidence to justify their approach, or focus on medical (rather than nurse) decision making. The text aims to help individuals apply different techniques to practice, aiming for a 'non-academic' style which will be easy for readers to understand. Both the editors are researchers in the field of nurse decision making and have considerable experience teaching the subject on third level diploma/degree, masters level and post-registration nursing courses. This text is therefore unique in drawing together both the research (current as well as that which has already been published) and practical experience of implementing techniques in practice.
Encapsulating the work of a classic nursing theorist, this book provides a unique overview of Orem's Self-Care Deficit Model of Nursing. Orem's Model proposes that nursing should be especially concerned with the patient's need to move continuously towards responsible action in self-care in order to sustain life and health or to recover from disease or injury. The actions required of nurses to achieve these goals are clearly described.
PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP FOR HEALTH This book forms part of a series entitled Promoting Partnership for Health publishedin association with the UK Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE). The series explores partnership for health from policy, practice and educational perspectives. Whilst strongly advocating the imperative driving collaboration in healthcare, it adopts a pragmatic approach. Far from accepting established ideas and approaches, the series alerts readers to the pitfalls and ways to avoid them. DESCRIPTION Interprofessional Teamwork for Health and Social Care is an invaluable guide for clinicians, academics, managers and policymakers who need to understand, implement and evaluate interprofessional teamwork. It will give them a fuller understanding of how teams function, of the issues relating to the evaluation of teamwork, and of approaches to creating and implementing interventions (e.g. team training, quality improvement initiatives) within health and social care settings. It will also raise awareness of the wide range of theories that can inform interprofessional teamwork. The book is divided into nine chapters. The first 'sets the scene' by outlining some common issues which underpin interprofessional teamwork, while the second discusses current teamwork developments around the globe. Chapter 3 explores a range of team concepts, and Chapter 4 offers a new framework for understanding interprofessional teamwork. The next three chapters discuss how a range of range of social science theories, interventions and evaluation approaches can be employed to advance this field. Chapter 8 presents a synthesis of research into teams the authors have undertaken in Canada, South Africa and the UK, while the final chapter draws together key threads and offers ideas for future of teamwork. The book also provides a range of resources for designing, implementing and evaluating interprofessional teamwork activities.
Intended for general practitioners, medical students, and behavioral scientists, this book provides a comprehensive, practical guide to effective consulting in general practice and to how consulting skills may be taught and learned. The authors suggest guidelines for evaluation consultations and for assessing the costs and benefits of various methods. (Oxford General Practice Series)
This book presents a detailed description of the Think Aloud Method, which was developed to facilitate knowledge acquisition and problem-solving by asking the participant to think aloud while solving a problem. The Think Aloud Method is based on the premise that people are often able to verbalize their thoughts as they solve a problem, and their resulting behavior can be analyzed to answer questions about problem solving behavior. This method is useful for psychological research on problem solving behavior, as well as for knowledge acquisition in the context of building expert computer programs. In many cases the Think Aloud Method is an invaluable source of information for psychologists and knowledge engineers. The Think Aloud Method is intended for two types of readers: social scientists who want to use the Think Aloud Method for research on cognitive processes, and knowledge engineers who wish to use the method for knowledge acquisition. The book is made accessible to both audiences with short introductions to several issues that are basic knowledge for one readership, but that are not part of the standard knowledge of their community. Introductory sections on those topics relevant to both communities are also included. The Think Aloud Method will prove a welcome addition to work in this exciting area.
