ALT FORMAT: MEETING CHILDREN'S PSYCHOSOCIAL NEEDS ACROSS THE HEALTH-CARE CONTINUUM

"Decades of increasingly sophisticated research supports knowledge about the effects of hospitalization and other health-care experiences on children and their families. Meeting Childrens Psychosocial Needs Across the Health-Care Continuum explores important psychosocial issues faced by children across the continuum of health care and strategies to address them. With a rapidly changing health-care environment, the health-care system for children both looks and serves children differently than it did in the recent past. This third edition of Meeting Childrens Psychosocial Needs Across the Health-Care Continuum reopens the dialogue about childrens needs and capacities and the ability of established programs and policies to mitigate the stresses faced in todays hospital, home care, and associative settings as we look at childrens health care. New to this edition is a wider recognition of the relationships between social disparities, health care needs, and psychosocial outcomes"-- Provided by publisher.
