Nursing

The authors have written a guide for all midwives working in, or contemplating working in the community, caring for pregnant women in their own homes or in local clinics. It is not intended to be a textbook, but is about the application of knowledge in the community setting. Midwives are already being asked to care for more and more women at home and this book is designed to help those who have not done this to any large extent before or those who may need to revise their skills of caring for women and helping them give birth safely and happily at home. Midwives currently working in the community may find some fresh ideas for their own practice and the book should be helpful to students, midwives working in teams, midwifery managers contemplating setting up teams of midwives and midwives contemplating independent practice. The book is dedicated to all midwives - who need to be strong for the sake of women.

Theatre Nursing: A Guide for Students and Trainees

Adams, Ann

A compilation of papers by a number of physiotherapists in Western Australia who have for some years been treating a wide variety of patients in hydrotherapy pools. Each contributor is a specialists in his or her field treating their patients on land as well as in the water which has given them the opportunity to observe their patients in situations where different forces apply and techniques of treatment vary. In water the hydrodynamical principles of buoyancy, metacentre and the rotational effects provide opportunities for specialised techniques. The book provides background details of a number of conditions together with their means of treatment. Sports injuries, neurological and neurosurgical, orthopaedic and rheumatic conditions are covered, as well as ante- and postnatal groups, mother and baby relaxation, and exercise progammes for the over 50s. Additionally, there is a discussion of therapeutic swimming, temperatures and the development of new environment. The editor is an innovator in hydrotherapy and has pioneered the "Halliwick" approach to exercises in water. She has also edited "Hydrotherapy in Paediatrics".
