{"product_id":"being-old-is-different-person-centred-care-for-old-people-9781898059998","title":"Being Old is Different: Person-centred care for old people","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeing old is different in many ways: different from what we anticipated in younger years, different from other chapters in our lives, and, nowadays, different from what it has been in the past. Above all, is a totally new individual experience and different for each person. To look at the complexity of these differences is the aim of this book. In \"Being Old is Different\" some basic person-centred principles and their implementation in everyday care are described; the themes that become relevant in the last chapters of life, and their impact on care for old people, are highlighted.The book aims to demonstrate why the Person-Centred Approach is particularly useful in this field; how it can be transferred into practice; how it helps to improve the life quality of old people and, at the same time, make work more satisfying for carers. Marlis Portner's book is not about specific nursing or therapy methods but about fundamental principles, which are valuable in different areas of care. The term 'carer', therefore, is used here for all those who, professionally or voluntarily, work with old people, and the term 'care' embraces nursing as well as therapeutic and supportive activities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pccs Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781898059998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.21d","brand":"Marlis P\u0026#195;\u0026#182;rtner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51299106619573,"sku":"9781898059998","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_44c06c37-68a7-4965-ade5-832a6b44c3c2.jpg?v=1751985322","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/being-old-is-different-person-centred-care-for-old-people-9781898059998","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
