What do you need to know in order to provide the best possible care
for sick children of different faiths? What, in the context of the
young person's faith, might it be helpful to know to support the
child and the family, improve care, communicate sensitively and
avoid causing offence? Drawing on extensive, evidence-based
research and practice, this practical resource addresses the
multi-faith needs of sick and dying children and young people in
hospitals and the wider community. Covering Islam, Christianity,
Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism, it provides the key
information needed to help multi-disciplinary healthcare staff
offer the best, culturally-appropriate care to sick children and
their families. The book discusses daily, palliative, end of life
and bereavement care in a range of settings, including hospitals,
hospices, schools and home. The information provided covers those
aspects of the religions discussed that are essential for
healthcare staff to understand, including modesty and hygiene,
taboos, food and prohibited products, age-related issues, sacred
objects, visitors, and the expectations of the family. It includes
important information on the issues of disability and mental health
in each faith as well as addressing the significance within
different faith traditions of the transitions from childhood to
adolescence to adulthood. A comprehensive resource that uniquely
focuses on the care needs of sick children from different faiths,
this book will be of immeasurable value to multi-disciplinary
healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, bereavement
support and palliative care workers, carers, counsellors, chaplains
and arts therapists.
