Ocular Disease and Sight Loss Meeting Psychosocial Needs


Free Download Ocular Disease and Sight Loss: Meeting Psychosocial Needs by Susan Watkinson, Swapna Naskar Williamson
English | February 28, 2023 | ISBN: 3031217276 | 131 pages | MOBI | 0.65 Mb
​Background: Psychosocial care remains an extremely important part of the holistic approach to care, but one which has been underestimated in clinical practice and only superficially addressed in the ophthalmic literature to date. This aspect of care most often gets less attention by healthcare professionals due to the dominance of a technology-enhanced approach to caring practice. Clearly, the skills afforded by science and technology are important for healthcare professionals in practice, but it is also important for them to be aware of the impact of the transfer of such skills on patients from a humanistic perspective. The delivery of technology-enhanced care can often trigger innermost feelings and needs such as fear, anxiety, stress, loss of control, and a sense of alienation. This book seeks to address the imbalance often observed between nursing both as an art and science, and to emphasise the importance of raising the healthcare knowledge and understanding of the value of social psychology and its application to ophthalmic practice in addressing this imbalance. Main aims: (1) To discuss the psychosocial needs and care of patients with ocular disease and sight loss. (2) To discuss the importance and relevance of the psychosocial aspects of ophthalmic care with reference to psychosocial theory and its application. (3) To discuss the psychosocial role of the healthcare professional in facilitating emotional recovery and promoting quality of life in the care and management of patients with ocular disease and sight loss.

Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time The Historical Jesus and the Heart of Contemporary Faith


Free Download Marcus J. Borg, "Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time: The Historical Jesus and the Heart of Contemporary Faith"
English | 1995 | ISBN: 0060609176, 0060609168 | EPUB | pages: 160 | 1.3 mb
Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining.

Meeting Challenges for Rural Tourism through Co-Creation of Sustainable Tourist Experiences


Free Download Elisabete Figueiredo Elisabeth Kastenholz, Maria João Carneiro, Celeste Eusébio, "Meeting Challenges for Rural Tourism through Co-Creation of Sustainable Tourist Experiences"
English | ISBN: 1443894885 | 2016 | 485 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Rural tourism is not a new phenomenon in many parts of the world, but it has only recently received increased attention from researchers, politicians and managers as a result of new market trends, the recognition of the rural crisis and the urge to solve it. However, there is also evidence that rural tourism is not a miraculous antidote for this crisis, certainly not in all places and under all conditions. Despite some recent studies examining the critical factors of success for rural tourism, there is still a need for a deeper understanding of the rural tourism phenomenon, the nature of the tourism experience and how it could be optimized to the benefit of all, while making the best use of endogenous resources and competences, yielding sustainable destination development. This book contributes to the debate, focusing on the tourist experience, here conceptualized as co-created between hosts and guests, based on destination-specific elements of countryside capital and aiming at sustainability. It contains both conceptual and empirical chapters, with diverse and new perspectives, methodological approaches and cases from several countries.
