Despite the scope and sophistication of contemporary health care,
there is increasing international concern about the perceived lack
of compassion in its delivery. Citing evidence that when the basic
needs of patients are attended to with kindness and understanding,
recovery often takes place at a faster level, patients cope more
effectively with the self-management of chronic disorders and can
more easily overcome anxiety associated with various disorders,
this book looks at how good care can be put back into the process
of caring. Beginning with an introduction to the historical values
associated with the concept of compassion, the text goes on to
provide a bio-psycho-social theoretical framework within which the
concept might be further explained. The third part presents
thought-provoking case studies and explores the implementation and
impact of compassion in a range of healthcare settings. The fourth
part investigates the role that organizations and their structures
can play in promoting or hindering the provision of compassion. The
book concludes by discussing how compassion may be taught and
evaluated, and suggesting ways for increasing the attention paid to
compassion in health care. Developing a multi-disciplinary theory
of compassionate care, and underpinned by empirical examples of
good practice, this volume is a valuable resource for all those
interesting in understanding and supporting compassion in health
care, including advanced students, academics and practitioners
within medicine, nursing, psychology, allied health, sociology and
philosophy.
