Synopsis

This book provides vivid accounts of hospice life, from real-life managers, doctors, nurses, carers, and support staff at hospices. The narratives, presented in brief excerpts and grouped by topic, invite readers into the day-to-day complexities of hospice life. Some themes include the differences between hospice and hospital care, personal motivations of staff, responding to patients and relatives, ways of coping with stress, and reflections on living and dying. The book will be of interest to healthcare professionals in palliative care, including volunteer, administrative, and support staff, as well as for nurses and others in caring roles who are considering a move into hospice work. The book will also interest counselors, therapists, and religious leaders. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
