The first resource of its kind, this authoritative handbook
holistically addresses the multidimensional aspects of perinatal
and neonatal palliative care. Written by an interprofessional team
of renowned specialists, it is both a text and evidence-based
reference for all members of the palliative care team. The book
helps individual team members forge interdisciplinary approaches to
care, assess current programs, improve the quality of care, and
tailor new models of care.Encompassing the perspectives of
neonatologists, maternal-fetal medicine and other physicians,
neonatal and perinatal nurse practitioners, midwives, nurses in all
sectors of perinatal care, and child life specialists, chaplains,
social workers, genetic counselors, lactation consultants, and
others, the book underscores the unique aspects of perinatal and
neonatal palliative care, with a focus on improving quality of
life, as well as comfort at the end of life. It describes
healthcare for neonates and pregnant mothers, care and support of
the family, planning and decision making, and effective support for
grief and bereavement. It addresses all palliative and neonatal
palliative care settings, including home care, and covers elements
of comfort care, such as pain medication and oxygen. Other chapters
focus on the prenatal period after diagnosis of the expected baby's
life-threatening condition. These include such topics as care of
the mother, delivering devastating news, and advance care planning.
Each chapter contains photos, figures, and/or tables and case
studies with clinical implications and critical thinking-focused
questions. Some chapters also include supportive online materials,
such as video clips of interactions between healthcare
professionals and the family, demonstrating family support and
clinician skills. Also included is an extensive listing of relevant
palliative care organizations. Paintings and poetry provide an
artistic backdrop to the authors' inspiring words. Key Features:
