Nursing - New Insights for Clinical Care by
This book provides comprehensive insights into all aspects of nursing care and research, with an up-to-date assessment of current clinical practices worldwide. Today's nurses play a significant role in clinical settings not only as caregivers, but also as educators and patient advocates helping all types of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and political alignments. With most countries impacted negatively by the Covid-19 pandemic, and significant global health disparities remaining, the concept of "global health" is now well accepted. Nurses and other healthcare providers across the world are doing their best to come up with effective treatments for many diseases, both common and rare, and recognize that it is important to treat not only the physiological and pathological presentations of disease but also patients' emotional needs. The quality of patient care and clinical competences have a powerful impact on therapeutic progression and recovery. This book aims to help healthcare providers and facilities give their patients excellent treatment and experiences, with a team of international experts presenting their best practices in the treatment of different metabolic and psychiatric diseases and conditions. The book is recommended for nurses, healthcare professionals, students and patients who are focused on the care of individuals, families, and communities.

Care Homes in a Turbulent Era by
This thoughtful book provides a refreshing, comparative perspective on the future of care homes in our post-pandemic world. Building on more than a decade of collaborative international and interdisciplinary research in Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US, it employs a feminist political economy framework to address the key challenges facing care homes in this turbulent era. With particular attention to lessons learned in Canada, Sweden, and Norway, the contributing authors argue that publicly-funded care homes remain critical to care arrangements but require policy and practice transformations to produce equitable and supportive conditions. Attentive to the specific contexts and tensions that shape care, chapters address key questions about care home quality and labour in relation to gender, race, ethnicity, religion and class. The book analyses the physical and social boundaries that set the conditions for quality of life and care, moving beyond the minimum to explain how nursing homes can provide joy. Offering alternative approaches to the complex challenges facing this vital public service, this book will be a key reference for students and scholars of health policy, comparative social policy and social work. Its integration of statistical, policy and practice analysis with ethnographic research will prove invaluable to those concerned with long-term care policy and practice.
