Synopsis

Les victimes de violence sont malheureusement toujours présentes dans les soins de santé aujourd'hui. Quel que soit le contexte, les infirmières sont souvent les premières à interagir avec les victimes et doivent régulièrement entrer dans des situations inconfortables ou difficiles. Pour assurer la sécurité des patients et des prestataires et permettre les meilleurs résultats possibles, chaque infirmière doit être bien versée dans les questions médico-légales et théoriques de la violence. Un guide pratique des soins infirmiers médico-légaux est un guide fondé sur des preuves pour comprendre et appliquer la science des soins infirmiers médico-légaux. Les auteurs Angela F. Amar et L. Kathleen Sekula présentent des perspectives pratiques et théoriques sur la violence et fournissent des ressources précieuses, y compris l'évaluation des blessures et des stratégies de prévention de la violence ainsi qu'un aperçu des questions juridiques, éthiques, sociétales et politiques pertinentes. Que vous soyez un étudiant, une nouvelle infirmière ou un clinicien expérimenté, vous trouverez les bons outils et stratégies pour élargir votre compréhension de la violence et vous aider à intégrer la science médico-légale dans vos soins aux patients.
