Description - Family-Based Palliative Care by Jane Marie Kirschling
The aim of this book is to increase professionals' understanding of the family as client. Authoritative contributors who are experienced in working with the terminally ill present current theory, practice and research related to family-based care of hospice patients. Each chapter includes information that can be applied to health care settings in which holistic care is a priority. The first chapter presents a conceptual framework for caring for families of the terminally ill as well as clinical examples that are used to illustrate the application of the framework in practice. Experts describe four research studies - two qualitative studies that examine sources of stress for care-givers and identify the resources used by families to manage at home; a methodological study that explores the positive and negative aspects of family care-giving; and a case study that evaluates a hospice staff's efforts in providing family based care. Because little research has been done with family care-givers of terminally ill hospice patients.
"Family-based Palliative Care" will be useful reading foe nurses, social workers, hospice staff, and other professionals whose job it is to care for the dying and their families.
