Guided Participation in Pediatric Nursing Practice: Relationship-Based Teaching and Learning With Parents, Children, and Adolescents / Edition 1

by Karen Pridham PhD, RN, FAAN, Rana Limbo PhD, RN, CPLC, FAAN, Michele Schroeder PhD, RN, CPNP

Overview

The first book about Guided Participation written for nurses

This authoritative publication delivers an in-depth examination of Guided Participation (GP), a dynamic process of teaching and learning that helps others become competent by providing expertise through working alongside the learner. For the nurse specifically, this means educating and working alongside parents and children within an environment that supports health. Consistent with client- and family-centered practice, this fresh approach to nurse/client teaching is drawn from a broad span of disciplines, including education, social and cultural anthropology, relationship-based attachment-caregiving theory, and developmental science.

Written for students and practitioners who wish to incorporate GP into their practice, and for managers, administrators, and policy makers who support its implementation, this resource demonstrates the value of GP as a new and emerging health care model that integrates care across health care settings. The text describes, step-by-step, how to practice GP and discusses support systems to maintain GP past the initial treatment. With abundant case studies, examples and research findings, chapters analyze how GP can promote health, prevent acute and chronic illness, and adjust old patterns of living and behaviors.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Anne Turner-Henson, PhD, RN, FAAN (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
Description: Guided participation (GP) is a dynamic process of engaging parents to become direct care experts for their children. This book describes the process of GP for nurses who work with children and families. The website resources include supplemental materials and supporting videos highlighting the use of GP. An online continuing education program is available through the author's institution (UWI-Madison) as an introduction to the GP concept and use in clinical practice.
Purpose: The purpose is to examine this dynamic process, built upon the author's empirical research and clinical practice. Through the use of GP, the book examines how communication and reflection processes help parents and clinicians make shared treatment decisions. The objectives of the book are worthy, and the book is based on evidence from research. The online materials and continuing education program provide excellent supplemental resources.
Audience: The book is directed primarily at pediatric nurses, although the GP theory is applicable to other healthcare disciplines. Several chapters are written from an interdisciplinary practice perspective. Karen Pridham is a recognized leader in pediatric nursing, and this book is based on her many years of research. Contributors are pediatric clinical experts and experts from other health disciplines (chaplain, speech-language, etc.).
Features: Building upon the author's years of research and clinical experience, GP as a practice in nursing gives voice to relationship-based teaching with families. The book includes background information on the theory of GP, as well as implications for clinical practice. Chapters are organized by translating the GP theory to clinical practice scenarios. Case scenarios focus on developmental aspects of childhood, acute and chronic conditions, and mental and behavioral health conditions.
Assessment: This book is an exemplary use of theory in clinical practice. Guided participation, a theory based on years of empirical research and clinical practice, allows nurses to empower parents to become direct care experts for their children. This book is of particular interest for nurses who care for children with complex healthcare needs.
