Learn to interact with families in ways that promote family
functioning when a family member is dying. Family-Based Palliative
Care is an insightful book that aims to increase
professionals'understanding of the family as client. Authoritative
contributors who are experienced in working with the terminally ill
present the most current theory, practice, and research related to
family-based care of hospice patients. Each readable chapter
includes a wealth of 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 caregivers and identify the resources
used by families to manage at home; a methodological study that
explores the positive and negative aspects of family caregiving;
and a case study that evaluates a hospice staff's efforts in
providing family- based care.Because little research has been done
with family caregivers of terminally ill hospice patients,
Family-Based Palliative Care will be essential reading for nurses,
social workers, hospice staff, and other professionals whose job it
is to care for the dying and their families.
