Abstract
Who decides when the carer and the cared-for person meet? This moment when two people come into contact crystallizes potential tensions between organizational constraints and respect for the elderly person's autonomy. Empathetic attitudes at this crucial moment anchor the relationship of trust and support in a humanist approach. How can we help?
期刊介绍:
La revue Soins Gérontologie se adresse a tous les acteurs du soin auprès des personnes agées, quel que soit leur lieu de travail : hospitalisation traditionnelle, domicile, dispensaire, hopital de jour, centres de séjour, maison de retraite..., tissant ainsi un vaste réseau inter-institutions entre la ville et le hopital.
