- A unique collection of international perspectives from leaders and experts in the field on a highly relevant topic in palliative care
- The only book to discuss management of caregiver stress and staff support from social, political and cultural perspectives
- Provides an extensive analysis of the challenge of finding a balance between the support needs of patients, families, and staff and the resources available
The need for renewal and support for those who care for seriously ill, dying, and bereaved people has been acknowledged from the very beginning of the hospice and palliative care movement. While often referring to the rewards and satisfactions of the work, Dame Cicely Saunders was the -first to acknowledge that helping encounters with dying patients and distressed relatives could be a source of anguish and grief for dedicated and compassionate carers.
Caregiver Stress and Staff Support in Illness, Dying, and Bereavement discusses the
challenge of finding a balance between the support needs of patients, families, and staff and the resources available. With contributions from practitioners and researchers from around the world, this book recognizes that palliative care today is being provided in many different settings and that there may be wide variations in the way individuals and organizations identify and manage the stressors that arise through the work. This unique collection of international perspectives on the complexities and management of caregiver stress and staff support builds on the firm foundation Mary Vachon built over thirty years ago in her studies, yet broadens the scope to include significant social, political, and cultural variations on the
theme.Readership: Managers and leaders in hospice and palliative care services, hospitals, community health services, aged care and disability services, emergency services, welfare organizations, funeral directors, individual health care practitioners such as doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, chaplains and coordinators of volunteers in all fields of service. The book will also be of interest to bereavement care organizations and educators involved with health care professionals in tertiary training institutes and universities.
