Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Communication in Palliative Nursing unites complementary work in communication studies and nursing research to present a theoretically grounded curriculum for teaching palliative care communication to nurses. The chapters outline the COMFORT curriculum, comprised of these elements: Communication, Orientation and opportunity, Mindful presence, Family, Openings, Relating, and Team communication. Central to this curriculum is the need for nurses to practice
self-care.
Based on a narrative approach to communication, which addresses communication skills development holistically, this volume teaches nurses to consider a holistic model of communication that aligns with the holistic nature of palliative care. This work moves beyond the traditional and singular view of the nurse as patient and family teacher, to embrace more complex communication challenges present in palliative care - namely, providing care and comfort through communication at a time when
patients, families, and nurses themselves are suffering. In addition to collaborating with physicians, the nurse's role involves speaking with patients and families after they have received bad news and often extends to discussions of spiritual and religious concerns. This book covers communication theory,
clinical tools, and teaching resources to help nurses enhance their own communication and create comfort for themselves, as well as for patients and their families.
This exceptional book defines communication as it applies to palliative nursing and serves as a guide to providing effective communication in palliative nursing.
The COMFORT model (Communication, Orientation and opportunity, Mindfulness, Family, Oversight, Reiterative and radically adaptive messages, and Team), upon which the book is based, is a groundbreaking construct that is easily applied to nursing practice.The chapter-by-chapter explanation and application of the model allows readers to focus on a particular area of interest, or to learn the entire model. One of the outstanding features of this book is the inclusion of the "Teaching Resources and
Materials" at the end of chapters.
There are no other books on communication in palliative nursing that can be compared to this exceptional offering.
