This unique book is a first-of-its-kind resource that
comprehensively covers each facet and challenge of providing
optimal perinatal palliative care. Designed for a wide and
multi-disciplinary audience, the subjects covered range from
theoretical to the clinical and the practically relevant, and all
chapters include case studies that provide real-world scenarios as
additional teaching tools for the reader. Perinatal Palliative
Care: A Clinical Guide is divided into four sections. Part One
provides the foundation, covering an overview of the field, key
theories that guide the practice of perinatal palliative care, and
includes a discussion of perinatal ethics and parental experiences
and needs upon receiving a life-limiting fetal diagnosis. Part Two
delves further into practical clinical care, guiding readers
through issues of obstetrical management, genetic counseling,
neonatal pain management, non-pain symptom management, spiritual
care, and perinatal bereavement care. Part Three discusses models
of perinatal palliative care, closely examining evidence for
different types of PPC programs: from hospital-based programs, to
community-based care, and examines issues of interdisciplinary PPC
care coordination, birth planning, and team support. Finally, Part
Four concludes the book with a close look at special considerations
in the field. In this section, racial, ethnic, and cultural
perspectives and implications for PPC are discussed, along with
lessons in how to provide PPC for a wide-range of clinical and
other healthcare workers. The book closes with a look to the future
of the field of perinatal palliative care. Thorough and practical,
Perinatal Palliative Care: A Clinical Guide is an ideal resource
for any healthcare practitioner working with these vulnerable
patient populations, from palliative care specialists, to
obstetricians, midwifes, neonatologists, hospice providers, nurses,
doulas, social workers, chaplains, therapists, ethicists, and child
life specialists.
