Basale Stimulation® in der Akutpflege

Engaging, touching, and calming people through the senses. The authors provide a clear, fundamental, and application-oriented introduction to Basic Stimulation in acute care. The focus is on vivid and comprehensible descriptions and illustrations of how caregivers can engage, touch, stimulate, and soothe individuals through various senses. The experienced authors demonstrate perception-oriented touches, rubs, strokes, washes, and positioning techniques. They describe and illustrate how Basic Stimulation can be conveyed sensorily through auditory, gustatory, olfactory, vestibular, vibratory, and visual applications.

The second edition has been fully updated and expanded in both images and text. The theoretical foundations and concepts have been deepened and better visualized regarding movement, touch, communication, and perception. The chapter on Basic Stimulation in the care process has been revised concerning process models, biographical work, sensory biography, dialogical action, and resource orientation. In the application section, procedural descriptions have been specified, neurophysiological washing has been supplemented and illustrated, and applications related to the senses of smell, taste, balance, hearing, position, sight, and touch have been detailed. New care stories exemplify how Basic Stimulation is applied in acute care.

The practical handbook remains indispensable for all nursing professionals in its second edition.
