Book Synopsis The Changing Nature of Nursing in a Managerial Age by : Ian Norman
Download or read book The Changing Nature of Nursing in a Managerial Age written by Ian Norman and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-09-08 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an occupation, nursing is perceived by some as an emergent profession and by others as a managed service. For the former group, the key to quality improvement in nursing is to develop and promote that professionalism. For the latter group, the success of nursing as an occupation depends on its ability to colonise senior positions within the management hierarchy of health services. This text takes a fresh view on the debate at the heart of nursing. It considers the future for nursing within health care and social care and how it needs to adjust to its changing status and power in the context of social and health policy. The book is organised into four sections. The first sets forth an ideal vision of nursing as a profession with 'caring' as its core feature. The second section outlines threats to nursing as a caring profession posed by a managerial agenda within health care and social care services. The third and fourth sections reconsider the ideals and realities of professional nursing in the context of managerialism and the changing culture of health care provision. This book makes a major contribution to current thinking about the nature of nursing as an occupation and its relevance and particular contribution to human well being. It should find a wide and appreciative audience among nurses and students, as well as other health care and social care professionals, and those involved in health service planning.
Book Synopsis The Changing Shape of Nursing Practice by : Davina Allen
Download or read book The Changing Shape of Nursing Practice written by Davina Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together sociological theories and nursing practice this text develops a dynamic conceptualisation of the nursing role which is rooted in the work setting. It looks at the factors which have shaped nursing work in the past and those which are likely to shape it in the future. Nurses' work is changing in two respects: the place nursing occupies in the health care division of labour and the routine shifting of work boundaries that nurses experience in their daily work. Drawing on her detailed observations of the reality of nursing work in a district general hospital, Davina Allen explores these linked themes, focussing on five key work boundaries: *nurse:doctor *nurse:manager *nurse:support worker *nurse:patient *nurse:nurse The text provides new insight into many of the tensions and dilemmas nurses routinely face and the processes and constraints through which their work is fashioned. It offers a new way of thinking about the nursing role which is particularly relevant at a time when the scope of nursing practice is expanding and when the integrated approach to health and social care is seen as the key to provision and improved services.
Book Synopsis Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland by : Yvonne O'Shea
Download or read book Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland written by Yvonne O'Shea and published by Orpen Press. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years, nursing and midwifery in Ireland have experienced a considerable number of changes, driven principally by the Report of the Commission on Nursing, published in 1998, and the health service reform programme, announced in 2003. In the same period, Irish society has become wealthier and more culturally diverse, creating new challenges for nursing and midwifery. In Nursing and Midwifery in Ireland, Yvonne O'Shea sets out to identify the role for nursing and midwifery in the health services of the future in Ireland and to formulate a strategy for the professional development required for the professions. The book has three parts. Part 1 sets out to establish the context within which the professions of nursing and midwifery operate in Ireland by examining the implications of recent key policy developments and the roles played by the Report of the Commission on Nursing and the National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery. Part 2 forms the core of the book and is based on seventy-seven interviews with senior figures in the health services, including policymakers, service managers, medical consultants, educators and leaders of nursing and midwifery. Part 3 goes on to outline a strategy for the professional development of nursing and midwifery, including key steps necessary to reach objectives and to realise the strategy's long-term vision. Published at a time of significant change within the health services in Ireland, the book is intended as a contribution to ensuring that nursing and midwifery take their place at the heart of health service transformation. It will be of great value to all role players in the Irish health service.

Book Synopsis Nurses and Nursing by : Pádraig Ó Lúanaigh
Download or read book Nurses and Nursing written by Pádraig Ó Lúanaigh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook draws on international contributors with a range of backgrounds to explore, engage with and challenge readers in understanding the many aspects and elements that inform and influence contemporary nursing practice. With a focus to the future, this book explores the challenges facing health services and presents the arguments for a nursing contribution and influence in ensuring safe and quality care. Readers are supported to explore how, as individuals, they can shape their personal nursing identity and practice. The structure of the text is based on the belief that an individual nurse’s professional identity is developed through an interaction between their personal attributes and the influences of the profession itself. Reflecting this approach, the authors engage in a conversation with the reader rather than simply presenting a series of facts and information. Organised around a series of topical and pertinent questions and drawing on perspectives from policy, education and practice, the book explores a diverse range of topics such as: how historical and popular media representations of nursing hold back nursing practice today; the opportunities presented through education and nursing role development to increase the nursing contribution to health services; the economic and political influences on nursing and health care; how the professional regulation of nurses and core values informs your practice; ways to define and develop your own strong nursing identity. Central chapter questions provide ideal triggers for group discussions in class or online and equally as discussion topics between colleagues to support ongoing professional development. There is an emphasis throughout Nurses and Nursing on challenging thinking to recast nursing practice for the future by encouraging the reader to explore and create their emerging nursing identity or re-examine previously long held views. This text supports the reader to better understand health care, nursing and most importantly themselves as nurses.

Book Synopsis International Perspectives on Competence in the Workplace by : C.R. Velde
Download or read book International Perspectives on Competence in the Workplace written by C.R. Velde and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future a more competent workforce will be required as workers will have to acquire the competence to predict and deal with novel situations at work. This book aims to provide the reader with insightful perspectives about competence in different situations and contexts. It presents a more enlightened view of human competence by opening up an international dialogue about the meaning and interpretation of competence in the workplace, and the impact of learning environments on workplace policy and practice. Five major premises which provide a basis for how we interpret, experience, and teach competence in the workplace are put forward: notions of worker competence, and the persuasiveness of informal workplace training; developing competence as an individual, and the inherent relationship between the worker and work, and the lifeworld; learning which develops higher level competences based on a more holistic conception of competence; characteristics of learning environments as integral components of learning at work; learning environments construed as theoretical and methodological problems in terms of their impact on the acquisition of competence.
Book Synopsis Health and the Good Society by : Alan Cribb
Download or read book Health and the Good Society written by Alan Cribb and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-10-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of healthcare and health policy, and the health-related dilemmas facing policy makers, professionals, and citizens are extensively analysed and debated in a range of disciplines including public health, sociology, and applied philosophy. Health and the Good Society is the first full-length work that addresses these debates in a way that cuts across these disciplinary boundaries. Alan Cribb's core argument is that clinical ethics needs to be understood in the context of public health ethics. This entails healthcare ethics embracing 'the social dimension' of health in two overlapping senses: first, the various respects in which health experiences and outcomes are socially determined; and second, the ways in which health-related goods are better understood as social rather then purely individual goods. This broader approach to the Cthics of healthcare includes a concern with the social construction of both healthcare goods and the roles, ideals, and obligations of agents; that is to say it focuses upon the 'value field' of health-related action and not only upon the ethics of action within this value field. This groundbreaking book thus seeks to 'open up' the agenda of healthcare ethics both methodologically and substantively: it argues that population-oriented perspectives are central to all healthcare ethics, and that everybody has some share of responsibility for securing health-related goods including the good of greater health equality. One of its major conclusions is that the rather limited tradition of health education policy and practice needs a complete re-think.

Book Synopsis Nurses and Midwives in the Digital Age by : M. Honey
Download or read book Nurses and Midwives in the Digital Age written by M. Honey and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nurses and midwives must increasingly work in multi-disciplinary teams and engage with patients to navigate the data and information central to today’s digitally-driven healthcare system. This book presents the proceedings of NI 2021, the 15th International Congress in Nursing Informatics. Originally planned to be held in 2020, the international year of the nurse and midwife, but postponed due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the conference, with the theme of nursing and midwifery in the digital age, was eventually held as a virtual event from 23 August to 2 September 2021, and the organizers made the decision to take advantage of its virtual nature and extend it to 9 days, with each day focusing on a different theme. This is reflected in the organization of the book, and the 212 papers included here, of which 67 are full papers with the remainder being workshop, panel, case study, and poster abstracts, are grouped into 9 sections. The papers were selected from a total of 437 submissions from more than 40 countries and cover: data analytics and the use of nursing data; digital health nursing workforce development; health policy, service delivery and ethics; informatics in clinical care; innovation and entrepreneurship in nursing; integrated and connected care; nursing information systems; patient participation and citizen involvement; and systems implementation and digital workplaces. Highlighting developments in nursing and midwifery and the way in which nurses and midwives are embracing the digital age, the book will be of interest to all those involved in healthcare today.

Book excerpt: Workers in human service organisations often find work with clients relatively manageable, but struggle to work effectively with their employing agency, particularly when translating professional values and a client-centred approach to practice. Working with Human Service Organisations provides students and human service workers with a range of tools to assist them to reflect and act critically and creatively within organisations.

In Part Two, a model for integrated practice is proposed to enable students to make connections between their professional training and the aims and structures of the organisation.
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of the Changing Nature of Work by : Brian J. Hoffman
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of the Changing Nature of Work written by Brian J. Hoffman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an overview of the research on the changing nature of work and workers by marshalling interdisciplinary research to summarize the empirical evidence and provide documentation of what has actually changed. Connections are explored between the changing nature of work and macro-level trends in technological change, income inequality, global labor markets, labor unions, organizational forms, and skill polarization, among others. This edited volume also reviews evidence for changes in workers, including generational change (or lack thereof), that has accumulated across domains. Based on documented changes in work and worker behavior, the handbook derives implications for a range of management functions, such as selection, performance management, leadership, workplace ethics, and employee well-being. This evaluation of the extent of changes and their impact gives guidance on what best practices should be put in place to harness these developments to achieve success.
