Item Metadata only Anxiety and Depression in People with Intellectual Disabilities: Advances in Interventions(Pavilion, 2012) Raghavan, RaghuThis book will focus on intervention strategies for treating anxiety and depression in people with intellectual disabilities (ID). The rationale for this theme is the lack of an adequate evidence base for assessment and intervention approaches for this population. For example, although anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders in the general population, very little is known about their incidence and manifestation in people with ID. Furthermore, research evidence indicates a high prevalence of depression and related illnesses in this population, and the nature and manifestation of depressive illnesses in people with ID warrant an in-depth examination to highlight the knowledge base of appropriate assessments and intervention strategies. This book explores the full range of anxiety and depressive illnesses in relation to people with ID, captures their nature and manifestation, and describes assessment and intervention approachesItem Metadata only Arts Based Health Care Research: A Multidisciplinary Perspective(Springer, 2022-09-05) ALI, PARVEEN; MCGARRY, JULIE; Hinsliff-Smith, K.This book, written by academics across a range of disciplines, including healthcare and social sciences discusses the increasing use of the arts in healthcare research, which often stems from the recognition that for some topics of investigation, or when dealing with sensitive issues, the usual qualitative or quantitative paradigms are not appropriate. While there is undoubtedly a place for such approaches, arts-based research paradigms (ABR) offers, not only additional study and data-collection tools, but also provides a new and enjoyable experience for those involved. The use of the arts as a medium to improve health and wellbeing was well documented by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2019, with over 3,000 studies conducted around the globe on the value of the arts in the prevention of ill health and promotion of health across the life span. This book examines how the arts, in a variety of forms, can be used by those working directly in healthcare settings as well as those involved in research across all health or patient settings. Covering a range of ABR genres, including literature (such as narrative and poetic inquiry); performance (music, dance, play building); visual arts (drawing and painting, collage, installation art, comics); and audio-visual and multimethod approaches, this user- friendly book will appeal to nurses, researchers in nursing and allied healthcare professions, as well professionals in the social sciences, psychosociology, psychology, literature and arts.Item Metadata only Black Families in Britain as the Site of Struggle(Manchester University Press, 2010-05-03) Ochieng, B.; Hylton, C.Item Metadata only Client profiles in nursing: Adult and the elderly (2)(Greenwich Medical Media, 2003) Parboteeah, Sam; Tremayne, P.Item Metadata only Empowerment and Participation: Power influence and control in contemporary healthcare.(Quay Books, 2003-01) Dooher, James; Byrt, RichardItem Metadata only Ethnicity and screening for sickle cell/ thalassaemia(Oxford: Elsevier Churchill Livingstone, 2005) Dyson, SimonItem Metadata only Fundamental aspects of adult nursing procedures(Quay Books, 2006) Tremayne, P.; Parboteeah, SamItem Metadata only Fundamental Aspects of Complementary Therapies for Health Care Professionals(Quay Books, 2006) Genders, NickyComplementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has grown substantially in popularity over recent years. A growing number of health care practitioners, particularly nurses and midwives, are delivering care where CAM therapies are part of the treatment regime. Furthermore, patient knowledge about, choice of and access to CAM has led to many patients and clients requesting complementary therapies alongside orthodox care. In the current climate it is therefore imperative that nurses understand the issues surrounding the use of CAM by patients and clients in their care. This introductory text offers an overview of a range of complementary therapies available in the UK, and will help give the practitioner an essential understanding of the nature of each therapy and the existing evidence base so that they can make informed judgements for the benefit of patients. It will also be a useful resource for patients and clients themselves.Item Metadata only Fundamental Aspects of Long-Term Conditions(Quay Books, 2009) McVeigh, H.Item Metadata only Fundamental aspects of mental health nursing(Quay Books, 2008) Dooher, JimItem Metadata only Fundamental aspects of research for nurses.(Quay Books, 2010-07-31) Dyson, Sue, 1960-; Norrie, PeterItem Metadata only Fundamental aspects of transcultural nursing(Quay Books, 2007) Dyson, Sue, 1960-Item Metadata only Fundamentals of mental health nursing: an essential guide for nursing and healthcare students.(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018) Clifton, AndrewItem Open Access Human Factors for Healthcare.
