Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung pflegen und fördern

The nursing model for person-centered care for the disabled Caring for and accompanying people with physical and mental disabilities as well as learning and ability disorders is an important nursing task field in inpatient, outpatient, community-based care. In Germany, 1,014,000 people have mental and emotional disabilities whose impairments, in interaction with various barriers, could hinder their full participation in social life. As a result, they require varying degrees of nursing and remedial education support. This reference book by British disability nursing experts describes and substantiates a framework model for caring for people with disabilities and shows how nurses can apply it in practice. It orients nurses in an understandable way how to effectively manage the nursing process of people with disabilities and how to assess, plan, implement, reflect and evaluate the need for care and assistance. The aim is to provide person-centered care that addresses the complex needs of people with disabilities, their relatives and caregivers, and achieves good care outcomes. The German edition has been adapted with regard to legal as well as nursing theoretical, nursing process oriented and practical contents.
