Readers will learn this approach has a “horizontal”  axis, featuring the patients’ mental and physical needs, as well as their  environments. It has also a “vertical axis”: the evolutive changes of the  patients throughout their development and their illness, their aspirations  and fears. An evolutive (or dynamic) approach is mandatory. Each child\/parent  has a different experience of illness and a different path to recovery that  is influenced by their age, gender, culture, but also by the state of their  grief. To take care of them, we need to know the state of the subjects  we are dealing with throughout their evolution in age (children) and in  sorrow (both children and parents). Jung’s and Piaget’ schemes will be  of support. This book also helps caregivers to know what ethics is. It teaches a new  insight on the word “ethics”: not a series of principles or norms, but an  approach based on humanistic virtues. Two criteria will be proposed to  this aim: an ethics based on the refusal of inauthentic behaviors (or those  behaviors that are copies of animals or machines) and a new criterion  that even children have some ethical duties (not based on rules, but on  naturally acceptance that their sight is modulated by the presence of their  parents and friends). This ethical approach is explained to caregivers in  a practical mode, ready for clinical exigencies.  This book is also unique because it demonstrates that PPC also involves  the true care of caregivers. It will explain how to approach, measure and  overcome caregivers’ burn-out. Special attention is devoted to the approach to babies’ and children’s  pharmacological and non-pharmacological analgesia and sedation. Pain  assessment methods will be illustrated, as well as the development of a  PPC web on the territory. This text includes perinatal and neonatal PPC. The book will be of valuable support to all thoseintensivists,  pediatricians, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists and healthcare  professionals working in PPC units.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-05-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030962555\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-96256-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 197\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47540744945804,"sku":"9783030962555","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030962555.jpg?v=1776080918","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030962555","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
