Description
Paraplegia generally means a sudden, although sometimes gradual, change in the lives of those affected and their relatives, which challenges all previous behavior patterns and life activities. Caring for and looking after people with this condition is very challenging and demands thorough knowledge and special skills on the part of caregivers as well as close interdisciplinary cooperation.
The second edition has been updated and expanded in light of new scientific and practice-related findings concerning respiratory and excretion problems, including surgical procedures on the intestines, pressure sores and pain, as well as body image. The theoretical frame of reference for the care process in the form of Gordon’s functional health patterns is explained and illustrated in a new chapter for all process elements.
