Book Description

ISBN-10: 0195133307 | ISBN-13: 978-0195133301 | Publication Date: October 18, 2001 | Edition: 2
Children with life-threatening and terminal illnesses--and their families-- require a unique kind of care to meet a wide variety of needs. This book, the first edition of which won the 1993 Pediatric Nursing Book of the Year Award, provides an authoritative source for the many people involved in caring for dying children. It draws together contributions from leading authorities in a comprehensive, fully up-to-date resource, with an emphasis on practical topics that can be put to immediate use. The book covers the entire range of issues related to the hospice environment and is intended for all those who participate in the hospice-care process: physicians, nurses, social workers, teachers, clergy, family therapists, parents, and community service volunteers.

Review


"Armstrong-Dailey and Zarbock have covered every imaginable topic in pediatric hospice care and have written an excellent resource that can be used for any inpatient setting that cares for dying children."--Oncology Nursing Forum, An Official Journal of the Oncology Nursing Society
July 2002


"Written for those involved in the care of dying children, this book describes different models of care, the developmental stages of children's understandings of death, the crucial aspects of pain and symptom control, and psychological distress. The book outlines Children's Hospice International's Program for All-Inclusive Care for Children and their Families. Particular attention is given to the necessary emotional support for staff, grieving parents, and surviving siblings."--SciTech Book News
