New Era in Global Health: Nursing and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780826190116 Springer Publishing Company

This unique text elucidates the relationship between global nursing and global health. It underscores the significance of nurses' contributions in furthering the post-2015 agenda of the United Nations regarding global health infrastructures and examines opportunities for nurses to promote the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to foster health and healthy environments worldwide. While past nursing literature has emphasized nursing's potential involvement and influence in the global arena, this is the first book to identify, validate, and promote nurses' proactive and multidimensional work in furthering current transnational goals for advancing health on a global scale.

The book includes an introduction to global health; clarification of terms and roles; perspectives on education, research, and theory related to global nursing; a history of the partnership between the United Nations and the nursing profession; and an in-depth exploration of the 17 SDGs and relevant nursing tasks. It is based on recent and emerging developments in the transnational nursing community and establishes a holistic dialogue about opportunities for nurses to expand their roles as change agents in a global context. The personal reflections of contributors animate such topics as global health ethics, the role of caring in a sustainable world, creating a shared humanity, cultural humility, and many others.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Written by leading nurses from around the world, this unique text integrates international initiatives and describes a proactive nursing role in the future of global health.
  • Organized into three units, the book opens with 10 key chapters that outline the importance of nursing in global health, education, and research, highlighting the history of the United Nations as it relates to the nursing profession and examining the legacy of Florence Nightingale.
  • Unit II includes chapters devoted to each of the 17 SDGs and outlines succinctly how nurses can help effect them.

<em>Public health and the nursing role: contemporary principles and practice</em> is an essential resource which reflects the growing need for all nurses to maintain and improve health as well as treating illnesses. This book takes as its starting point that the aims of public health and health promotion are key components of the nursing role and daily nursing care. Writing in a clear and lively style, the authors provide both an academic and practical account of public health for all nursing practice. <p/>Beginning with the question 'what is the public health agenda and why does it matter?' the book examines and critiques core policies, theories, and models in healthcare. The role of the nurse in improving health is explored in the context of the scope of nursing practice and working with patients and interprofessional colleagues. Key nursing skills of assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating care are outlined before the authors demonstrate how nurses can make important interventions on health issues such as mental health, obesity, sexual health, smoking, alcohol and long term conditions. <p/>Written as a core undergraduate course book this text is key reading for all pre registration nursing students who need to understand what public health means to nursing and need the skills required for all nurses practicing in the 21st century. Students on post registration courses will find this to be a helpful introduction. <p/><strong>Online material </strong><br>DT Current web links and regular updates. <br>DT RSS feeds from organisations such as the NMC, DOH, NICE, UK Public Health Institute and more.<br>DT Checklists for patient assessments and interviews.<br>DT Web links to existing health promotion interventions on key clinical topics, which have been developed elsewhere. <br>DT Podcasts (not yet firm).
