The pursuit of excellent compassionate care should be at the heart
of all practice. However, it can be challenging for practitioners
to deliver this day after day in a context of tight budgets and
targets, which can erode the passion with which they entered their
professions. Supporting Compassionate Healthcare Practice
encourages healthcare professionals to look after themselves in
order to maintain and develop their compassionate practice. This
book considers how stress management, resilience, wellbeing and
positivity can help all health professionals remain close to the
values, attitudes and attributes that brought them into the caring
professions. It presents and critiques the evidence base for these
key concepts, bringing them to life with numerous case studies and
examples, and develops a framework - RESPECT - for practice. This
innovative volume is essential reading for all healthcare students,
academics and professionals interested in improving both the
quality of care and the wellbeing of patients and practitioners
alike.
We are passionately interested in the importance of nursing values
and believe that excellence in compassionate nursing care lies at
the heart of nursing practice and that leadership is key to making
this happen. Every nurse, whatever their position and role, has a
vital leadership role to play in ensuring excellent care remains at
the heart of nursing practice. From the preface Highly committed
nurses often feel disillusioned, disempowered and angry when they
are faced with negative media reports about poor standards of care.
They are genuinely concerned, and want to address issues, when
patients and clients feel they are not being cared for with
compassion. However, complex and under-resourced healthcare
environments pose many challenges. Developing ideas and initiatives
from the highly successful Compassion and Caring in Nursing, in
this new book Claire Chambers and Elaine Ryder focus on these
potential difficulties and offers practitioners a chance to build
on their current knowledge and experience, and consider ways to
take the lead and act as catalysts for change. Each chapter focuses
on a particular issue and case scenarios are used and revisited in
each chapter, so that theory and practice are integrated
throughout. Specific prompts encourage readers to bring about vital
change in practice. All nurses, health visitors and health and
social care practitioners should find this book motivating and
realistic. It also offers thought-provoking inspiration for
undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare students.
