2008 AJN Book of the Year Winner! Like its popular predecessor, the new edition of Bathing Without a Battle presents an individualized, problem-solving approach to bathing and personal care of individuals with dementia. On the basis of extensive original research and clinical experience, the editors have developed strategies and techniques that work in both institution and home settings. Their approach is also appropriate for caregiving activities other than bathing, such as morning and evening care, and for frail elders not suffering from dementia. For this second edition, the authors have included historical material on bathing and substantially updated the section on special concerns, including: PainSkin careDetermining the appropriate level of assistanceTransfersThe environmentAn enhanced final section addresses ways to support caregivers by increasing their understanding of the care recipient's needs and their knowledge of interventions to improve care and comfort. It also emphasizes self-care and system-level changes to promote person-directed care. Several chapters include specific insights and wisdom from direct caregivers.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of a growing phenomenon in migration: retired Americans moving to Latin America. Through in-depth profiles of two of the most popular destinations – Cuenca, Ecuador and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, the book provides a unique commentary on the social forces shaping this new diaspora and its impact on the settings to which retirees relocate.  Sections of the book address the lives and activities of retirees themselves; their impact on real estate, business development, and gentrification within historic cities; the availability and access to medical and long-term care services; and the role of governmental policies in attracting immigrant retirees and shaping their societal impact.  Concluding sections provide guidance for potential retirees and for cities and countries interested in attracting these new immigrants while minimizing adverse impact on local culture and quality of life. Carefully researched and extensively illustrated with photographs, maps, figures, and tables, the book serves as an important new resource for scientists and policy makers, as well as for baby boomers who have retired abroad or are considering doing so.

Pflegende erleben jeden Tag, dass sich Körperpflegesituationen in der Altenpflege schwierig gestalten und die Körperpflege zum Kampf zu werden droht. Dass dem nicht so sein muss, belegen die Autoren dieses praxisorientierten Buches. Sie bieten einen individuellen, problemlösenden Ansatz, um die Basis- und Körperpflege bei gebrechlichen Personen und Menschen mit einer Demenz für beide Seiten wohltuend zu gestalten. Die von den Autoren vorgestellten Strategien und Techniken basieren auf umfangreichen Forschungen und langjähriger Erfahrung. Sie funktionieren sowohl in häuslichen wie auch stationären Pflegesituationen. Neben den von der Person gesteuerten Situationen der Haut- und Körperpflege werden spezifische Situationen des Schmerzmanagements, Transfers und der Umgebungsgestaltung dargestellt. - Ein Kapitel über späte Auswirkungen von Traumatisierungen bei der Kriegs- und Nachkriegsgeneration ergänzt die deutschsprachige Ausgabe. Wichtige Aspekte der Basis- und Körperpflege von Menschen mit einer Demenz werden tabellarisch zusammengefasst, grafisch illustriert, exemplarisch veranschaulicht und mit Handlungsanweisungen und Checklisten umsetzbar und überprüfbar gemacht. Die zweite Auflage wurde ergänzt um Beiträge zu den Themen "Körperpflege als herausforderndes Verhalten eines psychisch Erkrankten" und "Stress provozierende und reduzierende Körperpflege" sowie die Geschichte "Landaus Leibchen" und neue deutschsprachige Literatur zum herausfordernden Verhalten.
