Handboek voor de coassistent (Leidraadreeks Ser.)
by B. Schimmer W. J. Wiersinga M. Levi J. Savelkoel J.M.J. van der ZandeDe coschappen zijn het belangrijkste onderdeel van de masteropleiding geneeskunde. Tijdens de coschappen dient de theoretische kennis van de bachelor in de praktijk te worden gebracht. Deze overgang blijkt vele vragen en uitdagingen te geven. Hoe lees je een ECG in de praktijk? Hoe onderzoek je een pasgeboren baby? Waar let je op bij een thoraxfoto? Hoe test je de oogzenuwen? Hoe start je een antistollingsbeleid? Wat vertelt die labwaarde mij? Bij al dit soort dagelijkse vragen probeert dit boek de coassistent te helpen, om zo de overgang naar de praktijk te veraangenamen, maar deze bovenal efficiënter te laten verlopen. Het Handboek voor de coassistent geeft een goed beeld van de coschapperiode en wat de taken en verantwoordelijkheden van de coassistent zijn. De nadruk wordt gelegd op veelvoorkomende vragen en problemen die vrijwel zeker gedurende de coschappen zullen opduiken. Het handboek heeft een praktische insteek en bevat online aanvullend leesmateriaal. De hernieuwde editie is tot stand gekomen onder een nieuwgevormde redactie van specialisten en coassistenten. Centraal staat in deze druk het principe voor coassistenten door coassistenten.De thematisch geordende hoofdstukken zijn geschreven door coassistenten, samen met enthousiaste en vooraanstaande specialisten van perifere ziekenhuizen en alle faculteiten geneeskunde. Zij onderkennen de noodzaak om hun aanstaande collega’s de helpende hand te bieden en hen over de uiteenlopende aspecten van coschappen te informeren. Dit boek is in eerste instantie bedoeld voor coassistenten, maar wordt voorts aanbevolen aan studenten geneeskunde in de bachelorfase en beginnende assistenten.

Handbook For Public Health Social Work (Springer Ser.)
by Robert Keefe Elaine T. JurkowskiPublic health social work is an interdisciplinary, epidemiologically oriented approach to improving human health and well-being. About one quarter of all social workers in the United States currently work in medical or public health settings, a number that is expected to increase significantly in coming years. This handbook, written and edited by respected leaders of the Social Work Section of the American Public Health Association (APHA), describes the rapidly expanding roles of public health social workers as these two disciplines continue to join forces. The handbook describes how the alliance of social work and public health has already made significant progress and ways in which it will further improve health care in the United States. It addresses job opportunities for public health social workers in such fields as disease prevention, health promotion, child welfare, gerontology, disaster response, trauma intervention, substance abuse, outreach services, and advocacy. It also covers public health social work with special populations and in neighborhood, rural, and global settings.
Handbook Integrated Care
by Volker Amelung Viktoria Stein Nicholas Goodwin Ran Balicer Ellen Nolte Esther SuterThis handbook shares profound insights into the main principles and concepts of integrated care. It offers a multi-disciplinary perspective with a focus on patient orientation, efficiency, and quality by applying widely recognized management approaches to the field of healthcare. The handbook also highlights international best practices and shows how integrated care can work in various health systems. In the majority of health systems around the world, the delivery of healthcare and social care is characterised by fragmentation and complexity. Consequently, much of the recent international discussion in the fields of health policy and health management has focused on the topic of integrated care. “Integrated” acknowledges the complexity of patients’ needs and aims to meet them by taking into account both health and social care aspects. Changing and improving processes in a coordinated way is at the heart of this approach. The second edition offers new chapters on people-centredness, complexity theories and evaluation methods, additional management tools and a wealth of experiences from different countries and localities. It is essential reading both for health policymakers seeking inspiration for legislation and for practitioners involved in the management of public health services who want to learn from good practice.

Handbook Methods For Oxygen Radical Research
by Robert A. GreenwaldThis volume is divided into five sections. Section I deals with preparative methodology for isolation and purification of the components of the oxy radical experimental systems use most frequently, including all three forms of SOD and several other important scavengers. Section II provides the experimenter with a choice of a dozen oxy radical generating systems which can be used for testing of scavengers or for evaluation of the effects of oxy radicals on target tissues. The reader will note that in this section, as well as in most of the rest of the volume, the orientation is primarily biochemical, biologic, and medical, rather than pure chemistry or pure physics. Nevertheless, the techniques are widely applicable to a variety of disciplines.
Handbook Of Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Treatment
by Harinder S. Ghuman Richard M. SarlesFirst published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Handbook Of Child And Adolescent Outpatient, Day Treatment A
by Harinder S. Ghuman Richard M. SarlesIn the past few years, there has been a major shift in the mental health care of child and adolescents from inpatient care to non-hospital community ambulatory settings. Economic pressures have primarily driven this change in service delivery. Insurance companies and managed care organizations have not only restricted access to hospitalization and limited length of stays but additionally have sharply reduced reimbursements for treatments. State and federal policies for inpatient treatment and reimbursement have followed similar trends. As a result, mental health planners have attempted to develop programs to deal with this trend of restricted inpatient care shifting treatment of children and adolescents to home and community settings. Some of these new programs are well planned and others are hastily planned and implemented. The pitfall to this community approach is that there is a population of chronically disturbed children and adolescents, and highly stressed parents often lacking adequate personal and family resource who may not respond to these new less restrictive, less costly community approaches which potentially may lead to an unsafe and dangerous situation for the child, adolescent, family and the community.With this in mind, the purpose of this book is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information regarding child and adolescent outpatient, day treatment and community psychiatry. The emphasis of this book is to provide practical knowledge through clinical case illustrations and to explain various strategies in a detailed fashion.

Handbook Of Good Psychiatric Management For Borderline Personality Disorder
by John G. Gunderson Paul S. LinksThe Handbook of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder teaches clinicians what to do and how to do it, as well as what not to do and how to avoid it. The author, a renowned researcher and clinician, has developed a new evidence-based treatment, Good Psychiatric Management (GPM) that comfortably utilizes cognitive, behavioral, and psychodynamic interventions that are practical and simple to implement. Because psychoeducation is an important component of GPM, the book teaches clinicians how to educate their patients about BPD, including the role of genetics and the expected course of the disease.

Handbook for Chemical Process Research and Development
by Wenyi ZhaoThe Handbook for Chemical Process Research and Development focuses on developing processes for chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Forty years ago there were few process research and development activities in the pharmaceutical industry, partially due to the simplicity of the drug molecules. However, with the increasing structural complexity, especially the introduction of chiral centers into the drug molecules and strict regulations set by the EMA and FDA, process R&D has become one of the critical departments for pharmaceutical companies. This book assists with the key responsibility of process chemists to develop chemical processes for manufacturing pharmaceutical intermediates and final drug substances for clinical studies and commercial production.

Handbook for Culturally Competent Care
by Larry D. Purnell Eric A. FenklThis concise, easy-to-read book tackles the potentially awkward subject of culture in a direct, non-intimidating style. It prepares all health professionals in any clinical setting to conduct thorough assessments of individual from culturally specific population groups, making it especially valuable in today's team-oriented healthcare environment. The book is suitable for healthcare workers in all fields, particularly nurses who interact with the patients 24 hours a day, every day of the week. Based on the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence, it explores 26 different cultures and the issues that healthcare professionals need to be sensitive to. For each group, the book includes an overview of heritage, communication styles, family roles and organization, workforce issues, biocultural ecology, high-risk health behaviors, nutrition, pregnancy and child bearing, death rituals, spirituality, healthcare practices, and the views of healthcare providers. It also discusses the variant characteristics of culture that determine the diversity of values, beliefs, and practices in an individual's cultural heritage in order to help prevent stereotyping. These characteristics include age, generation, nationality, race, color, gender, religion, educational status, socioeconomic status, occupation, military status, political beliefs, urban versus rural residence, enclave identity, marital status, parental status, physical characteristics, sexual orientation, gender issues, health literacy, and reasons for migration. Each chapter offers specific instructions, guidelines, tips, intervention strategies, and approaches specific to a particular cultural population.
Handbook for Culturally Competent Care
by Larry D. Purnell Eric A. FenklThe second edition of this incisive book, based on the Purnell Model for Cultural Competence, addresses the potentially challenging topic of culture in a forthright style. It is a valuable resource in today's team-based healthcare environment, preparing health professionals, regardless of setting, to conduct in-depth assessments of individuals and families from culturally specific population groups. This book will appeal to all healthcare workers in all fields, and it is particularly suitable for nurses interacting with patients in very diverse settings. This book delves into 32 different cultures and areas of support common to all individuals and families that health professionals must recognize and consider. African American, American Indian, Brazilian, Cuban, Chinese, Korean and Filipino, but also Arab, Hindu or Haitian, as well as many European heritages are examined among others. Brand new chapters explore Greek, Italian, Jamaican, Thai, and Ukrainian heritages. For each culture, chapters detail communication styles, family roles, workforce issues, biocultural ecology and high-risk health behaviours. Also discussed are nutrition, pregnancy and child bearing, death rituals, spirituality, healthcare practices, and the perceptions of traditional, magico-religious, and bio-medical healthcare providers. Culture’s characteristics - such as age, generation, gender, religion, educational/marital/parental/socioeconomic or even military status, but also political beliefs, physical characteristics, sexual orientation or gender issues - determining the diversity of values, beliefs, and practices in an individual's cultural heritage in order to help prevent stereotyping are discussed. At the end of each chapter, readers are provided with specific instructions, guidelines, tips, intervention strategies, and approaches specific to a particular cultural population. Additionally, reflective exercises help the reader reinforce the concepts presented in each chapter. For this second edition, most of the chapters are authored by individuals who either identify with the culture being addressed in the chapter or have personal knowledge of the culture via life experiences.
