Focusing on palliative care for adults, this work covers key issues including: what happens to people as they become ill; how individuals cope as they near death and are dying; and, how families and friends deal with bereavement and loss.

Synopsis: |
"...this is an excellent book that is interesting, easy to read and very useful for health care professionals." - "Palliative Medicine". This innovative interdisciplinary textbook reviews current research and examines the evidence base for palliative care practice. Focusing 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; and, how families and friends deal with bereavement and loss. The final section addresses contemporary issues in nursing and inter-professional working. The book contains helpful overviews and is written in an informative and reader-friendly style. "Palliative Care Nursing" is essential reading for post-qualifying 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. |
