La gériatrie est une spécialité exigeante avec des parcours de soins spécifiques. Elle se fixe comme objectif de préserver l'indépendance fonctionnelle et la qualité de vie tout en privilégiant le maintien à domicile et l'infirmier joue un rôle de premier plan dans la mise en oeuvre de ce parcours de soin spécifique. Cet ouvrage dresse un état des lieux des rôles et des missions des infirmiers en gériatrie et permet de se projeter dans l'avenir de notre système de santé pour répondre au défi majeur du vieillissement de la population. Il propose une approche didactique fondée sur 3 axes importants : la prévention le dépistage et les différentes thérapeutiques qui font chacun l'objet d'une partie. La première définit les concepts du vieillissement la deuxième est consacrée aux préventions et aux dépistages des pathologies du grand âge et la troisième développe les différentes thérapeutiques. Une quatrième et dernière partie souligne le rôle clé et la place particulière de l'IDE en gériatrie. Rédigé de manière claire et synthétique l'objectif de cet ouvrage est de donner du sens et des outils aux professionnels en gériatrie et de donner envie d'accompagner la personne âgée et ses proches.

Gériatrie ; Personnes âgées ; Personnes âgées - Psychologie

Le docteur Italo Simeone nous expose dans son ensemble ce qu'est la psychogériatrie, "nouveau-né des sciences médicales" selon ses propres termes. Médecine globale en ce sens qu'elle se préoccupe à la fois des dimensions sociales, biologiques et psychologiques de l'individu, la psychogériatrie touche à peu près tous les grands thèmes jalonnant la vie d'une personne âgée.

À travers une entrevue, Italo Simeone nous parle avec philosophie de la maladie à l'âge avancé, de la famille, du couple, de la sexualité, de la mort, du vieillissement normal et du vieillissement pathologique.

Dans un langage clair, il cerne chacun de ces sujets et laisse entrevoir les possibilités d'aide qu'apporte la psychogériatrie. Des images croquées dans le quotidien de gens âgés viennent illustrer agréablement ses propos sur la sénescence.

Soins palliatifs ; Soins en phase terminale ; Personnes âgées - Soins ; Gériatrie

Geriatric Palliative Care covers a broad spectrum of issues characterizing care near the end of life for older adults. Beginning with the social and cultural context of old age and frailty, this volume details specific aspects of palliative care relevant to particular disorders (e.g. cancer, strokes, dementia, etc.) as well as individual symptoms (e.g., pain, fatigue, anxiety, etc.). Communication between care-givers and patients, in a variety of settings, is also discussed. The theme of this book is that palliative care is the best approach to the care of chronically ill and frail elderly because of its focus on: quality of life; support for functional independence; and the centrality of the patient's values and experiences in determining the goals of medical care. Indeed, Geriatric Palliative Care provides a comprehensive medical reference for all clinicians who care for older adults.
