    Enfermería y envejecimiento es un tratado de geriatría en el que los estudiantes de másteres de Enfermería y todos los profesionales implicados en el cuidado de las personas mayores encontrarán una introducción a esta especialidad, que cada vez cobra más importancia debido al aumento de la esperanza de vida. Esta segunda edición, totalmente actualizada, conserva su carácter práctico y humanizador, basado en la amplia experiencia de los autores. La obra comienza dando importancia a papel activo que pueden ejercer el propio paciente y su entorno en la mejora de la calidad de su salud, centrándose en temas como el envejecimiento saludable, el cuidado centrado en el mayor y la sexualidad en las personas mayores. A continuación, se aborda la enfermedad, con varios capítulos dedicados a los síndromes (inmovilismo, caídas, aislamiento social y soledad, incontinencia urinaria, estreñimiento, desnutrición y disfagia). Más adelante se tratan las alteraciones cognitivas y sensoriales, el dolor, las situaciones agudas de urgencia, las lesiones cutáneas y los procesos crónicos, para acabar el tratado con un capítulo dedicado a los principios bioéticos aplicados en el cuidado geriátrico. Por último, se ofrecen cuatro casos clínicos con respuestas razonadas, para llevar al lector de la teoría a la práctica. Julia González Vaca, Carmen Sarabia Cobo, Rosa Martínez Sellarés y Misericordia García Hernández lideran en esta obra a un experto equipo de autores formado por profesionales y docentes del ámbito gerontológico.

    • Inglés
    The articles appearing in this geriatrics-focused issue are consistent with the collaborative and translational concepts held by a life course perspective. Each supports interprofessional collaboration and some are either authored or coauthored by interdisciplinary colleagues. Three goals are reflected in these articles: keeping community-dwelling older adults safe, sensible, and secure with solutions that will enable them to stay healthy, wise, and aware. Topics include maintaining physical functions, benefits and consequences of weight-bearing exercise on foot health; cancer prevention; managing nocturia’s effect on sleep quality and safety; protection from financial exploitation; and providing safe and affordable living environments. Several articles address physical or cognitive challenges that include monitoring medication adherence, threat of anxiety and stigma in dementia, and approaches to managing self-care in the home for persons with dementia. These evidence-based articles address emerging and best practices to support targeted interventions for persons in community-dwelling home settings. They provide a frame-work of person-centered approaches that foster good health in older age, a central tenet of aging in place and the global response to population aging.

    Demographically, the care of older people is a growing area of concern. The growth in nursing care in this area has been tremendous both within and without the NHS. Nursing texts have tended to be limited to medical aspects of ill-health, but nursing older people as a specialty is developing a much more positive, holistic focus. This book provides a practice-based text concentrating on how nursing should focus on positive aspects of care and developing quality of life.Growing older is often regarded purely in negative terms and this has a profound influence on the practice of caring for older people. This innovative text focuses on promoting a positive approach to practice and the value of older people in our society. Unlike other books in this field, it avoids a medical approach and instead focuses on health, individuality and relationships in caring--the quality of life which should be the aim of care.Section 1--Values, Attitudes and Beliefs: cultural perspectives, choice and autonomy, risk managementSection 2--Optimum Health: positive approaches to health, sexuality, spirituality, social networksSection 3: Therapeutic Interventions: communication, touch, sensory environments, relaxationSection 4: Future Issues: outcome measures, resource issues, policy dimensions.Drawing on a range of contributors from the fields of learning disabilities and mental health as well as adult health, the editors have recognised that many different disciplines can contribute to developing new partnerships in approaches to care. Practice-focused, the text features case studies and activities extensively to encourage readers to reflect on their own values and experiences and the experiences of older people.This practice-based text will inspire both students and practitioners working with older people to reflect upon their practice, think differently and discover new approaches to care.
