Description
Palliative and hospice care is a specialty that is constantly evolving alongside the needs of its patients. Practitioners must navigate a rapidly growing field to best advocate for and deliver high quality primary and specialty palliative care to persons and families of those living with serious illness. The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Nursing remains the most comprehensive treatise on the art and science of palliative care nursing available. This new edition of the textbook brings together more than 150 nursing experts to help answer real-world questions around the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs pertinent to a successful palliative care team. Organized within 9 Sections, this new edition covers the gamut of principles of care: from the time of initial diagnosis of a serious illness to the end of a patient's life and beyond. This sixth edition of The Oxford Textbook of Palliative Nursing mirrors developments in Palliative Care, including several new chapters to support the delivery of palliative care to diverse populations. These chapters explore care for patients living with pulmonary, cardiac, liver, renal, and hematologic diseases, as well as chapters on health inequalities, LGBTQ+ communities, rural communities, and care of those with substance use disorders and serious mental illness. Each chapter is rich with tables and figures, case examples for improved learning, and a strong evidence-based practice to support the highest quality of care. The book offers a valuable and practical resource for students and clinicians across all settings of care. The content is relevant for specialty hospice agencies and palliative care programs, as well as generalist knowledge for schools of nursing, oncology, critical care, and pediatrics. Developed with the intention of emphasizing the need to extend palliative care beyond the specialty to be integrated in all settings and by all clinicians caring for the seriously ill, this new edition will continue to serve as the cornerstone of palliative care education.
