Abstract

Hoe vindt praktijkverandering plaats? Wat is ervoor nodig? Wie is ervoor nodig? Op deze en andere vragen hebben talloze veranderkundigen al hun hoofd gebogen. De praktijk is immers weerbarstig, zo zegt men. Een verandering in de praktijk heeft vaak een tijdelijk karakter en veel veranderingen beklijven niet. Dat is jammer. In dit boek worden de methodiek van Practice Development uiteengezet. Zowel de achtergronden, de systematiek als concrete praktijkvoorbeelden passeren daarbij de revue.Practice Development wordt in dit boek beschreven als een cyclische methodiek (met als acroniem PDDOEN) waarmee gezondheids- en onderwijsmedewerkers direct aan de slag kunnen om personen en praktijken duurzaam te veranderen. Dus geen tijdelijke verandering, maar verandering die gedragen wordt door en verankerd is in mensen.Zowel voorbeelden uit de zorg als het onderwijs illustreren de methodiek die tot deze veranderingen leidt. Het boek bevat codes (QR-codes) die verwijzen naar relevante informatie en instrumenten op een website die hiervoor is ontwikkeld.

Abstract

"Contingency Management has been identified as the most efficacious intervention for substance use disorders. Despite the evidence of its efficacy in numerous clinical trials, contingency management is poorly understood and rarely utilized in practice settings, as no book exists specifically for clinicians. Contingency Management for Substance Abuse Treatment fills this gap as a clinician-oriented text that focuses on contingency management protocol development and implementation, and provides everything clinicians require to successfully apply a novel treatment in practice"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"In the last 25 years, a major shift has occurred in the field of violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is inevitable to the realization that violence is preventable. As we learn more about what works to reduce violence, the challenge facing those who work in the field is how to use all of this new information to rapidly deploy or enhance new programs. At the same time, new communications technologies and distribution channels have altered traditional means of communications, and have made community-based efforts to prevent violence possible by making information readily available. How can these new technologies be successfully applied to the field of violence prevention? On December 8-9, 2011, the IOM's Forum on Global Violence Prevention held a workshop to explore the intersection of violence prevention and information and communications technology. The workshop - called "mPreventViolence" - provided an opportunity for practitioners to engage in new and innovative thinking concerning these two fields with the goal of bridging gaps in language, processes, and mechanisms. The workshop focused on exploring the potential applications of technology to violence prevention, drawing on experience in development, health, and the social sector as well as from industry and the private sector. Communication and Technology for Violence Prevention: Workshop Summary is the report that fully explains this workshop"--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Il volume presenta i lavori di revisione della letteratura relativa alla riabilitazione neuropsicologica effettuati come lavoro preparatorio per la Consensus Conference sulla Riabilitazione neuropsicologica che si è tenuta a Siena nel febbraio del 2010 sotto gli auspici di una serie di associazioni e società scientifiche e professionali. L’approccio usato in modo comune in tutte le revisioni è quello della "evidence-based medicine" che consente di arrivare a delle raccomandazioni sull'efficacia dei diversi trattamenti riabilitativi con un solido ancoraggio nella letteratura scientifica internazionale. Alla stesura di queste revisioni hanno partecipato i principali esperti neuropsicologi italiani. Il volume rappresenta così un update fondamentale per il professionista (fisiatra, logopedista, neurologo, neuropsicologo, psicologo, terapista della riabilitazione, terapista occupazionale) che svolge la sua attività nell’ambito della riabilitazione neuropsicologica.

Abstract

This book investigates the ways in which the evidence base is influencing complementary and alternative medicine in general and Ayurveda and allied health practices in particular. The latter have traditionally been prevalent in Asia and are now increasingly attracting interest worldwide. The book is divided into four sections, the first of which examines issues related to acquisition and evaluation of the evidence base. Evidence-based approaches to Ayurvedic diagnosis and therapy are then examined, with a special focus on management of cardiovascular and rheumatological diseases, dental care, and rejuvenating treatments. The final section explores further the challenges of applying evidence-based practice in contemporary and alternative medicine and Ayurveda with a focus upon the issues requiring urgent attention in ongoing decade. The same involves encompassing areas such as Ayurvedic pharmaceutics, practice, education and research within an evidence-based perspective.

Abstract

Cancer is one of the leading killers in the world and the incidence is increasing, but most cancer patients and cancer survivors suffer much from the disease and its conventional treatments’ side effects. In the past, clinical data showed that some complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) possessed anticancer abilities, but some clinicians and scientists have queried about the scientific validity of CAM due to the lack of scientific evidence. There is great demand in narrowing the knowledge gap to explore the scientific and evidence-based knowledge of CAM in the anticancer field. With this aim, an unparalleled undertaking of a book series is launched to structurally consolidate this area. Although acupuncture and moxibustion have been practiced for millennia, they have come under scientific investigation only recently. Acupuncture and moxibustion have been used clinically to treat cancer-related symptoms (e.g. cancer pain, anxiety, depression and insomnia), manage treatment-induced side effects (e.g. hot flashes, nausea and vomiting) and enhance immunity (e.g. blood cell count, lymphocyte and natural killer cell activity). This is the first book manages to provide comprehensive and updated scientific evidence of the effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion intervention for cancer care. Laboratory and animal studies have uncovered the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer therapy. Promising results of most clinical trials show the efficacy and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion in cancer management. This book consists of fifteen chapters which address a range of important aspects that will impact on the application of acupuncture and moxibustion. An overview of the safety and side effects of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer care are also covered. In addition, the integration of acupuncture with Western medicine in cancer treatment and recent clinical trials are included as well. Opinion leaders around the world have teamed up to pursue a thorough and up-to-date review of the area, this volume will contribute great to the cancer, clinical and academic community by providing evidence-based information on the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion as an anticancer therapy.

Abstract

Un numero sempre crescente di studi misura, in Europa e negli Stati Uniti, l’incidenza negativa dello stress e dei disturbi a esso correlati in termini di patologie letali, giornate di lavoro perse, elevata spesa farmacologica e sanitaria. L’impatto economico e sociale di questo fenomeno ha quindi indotto a considerare lo stress come la malattia del nuovo secolo. Questo volume affronta il fenomeno dello stress e dei disturbi psicosomatici con un approccio complesso e multifattoriale: le conseguenze derivanti dalla somatizzazione possono infatti colpire l’organismo sotto molte forme, come patologie connesse al comportamento alimentare, gastrointestinali, cardiocircolatorie, cutanee ed endocrine. Le categorie diagnostiche chiamate in causa sono quindi molto diverse fra loro, ed è per questa ragione che l’opera si è caratterizzata per una gamma di tematiche particolarmente ampia e per il gran numero di esperti che sono stati coinvolti. Oltre a studiare aspetti del problema talvolta meno considerati, come le specificità di genere e il tema dello “stress positivo”, il volume propone un’adeguata integrazione fra psicoterapia, terapia farmacologica e interventi riabilitativi, costituendo una guida esaustiva rivolta non solo a clinici e psicologi, ma anche a studenti di Psicologia e Medicina.
