Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quite several people who have been affected by a pandemic are psychologically traumatized. A pandemic could go a long way in affecting the mental health of people. For example, the 1918 influenza outbreak killed 50 million people globally. They left many of those who survived with mental scars. And now the psychological impact of a pandemic in the modern world is still very significant. Someone constantly bombarded people with news from the media, and therefore, they become more restless. The news feels overwhelming. The world feels like a giant hospital where health specialists, despite their efforts, cannot save many people. The fear, worry, uncertainty, and sadness that surround the situation could be a trigger for depression in many individuals. One's emotional and mental well-being get at a high risk of deteriorating. The COVID-19 pandemic lends credence to the fact that unexpected change can happen.

Download or read book A Guide for Developing a Culture of Caring Through Nursing Peer Mentorship Programs written by Deborah Kramer (Nursing professor) and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes in detail how to develop successful programs of nursing mentorship, utilizing concepts of caring that yields a strong, caring body of nurses who will be "nurse thrivers" as they find fulfilment and meaning in their professional commitment and will train others to do the same. The mentorship program is the ticket to success that many students need to complete their degree program, prevent burnout, pass the nursing NCLEX examination, and remain in the workforce after graduation. The current attrition rate in baccalaureate nursing programs is 25-50%, as is the attrition rate in the first 2 years of employment of new RN's entering the workforce. Burnout is due to a lack of care and support for helping the students navigate the rigor and demands of the nursing program. Creating a community of learners with caring and support creates an environment that fosters academic engagement and success. The unique aspect of this book is its focus on creating a caring environment to support the students; helping them develop caring skills, empathy, resilience and their own self-care; developing the skills for success beyond their educational process into the workforce. This book integrates all patterns of knowing - personal, aesthetic, empiric and ethical - and provides the missing link of peer mentorship necessary to the development of resilient, emancipated nursing students and graduates capable of working in community with others to establish cultures of care in health care. This is a must have resource for transformation of nursing education in the next century! Foreword by Dr. Margaret McClure.

Download or read book Liminal Dreaming written by Jennifer Dumpert and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A consciousness and dream hacker explains how to use liminal dreaming—the dreams that come between sleep and waking—for self-actualization and consciousness expansion. At the edges of consciousness, between waking and sleeping, there’s a swirling, free associative state of mind that is the domain of liminal dreams. Working with liminal dreams can improve sleep, mitigate anxiety and depression, help to heal trauma, and aid creativity and problem-solving. As we sink into slumber, we pass through hypnagogia, the first of the two liminal dream states. In this transitional zone, memories, perceptions, and imaginings arise in a fast moving, hallucinatory, semi-conscious remix. On the other end of the night, as we wake, we experience hypnopompia—the hazy, pleasant, drift that is the other liminal dream state. Readers of Liminal Dreaming will learn step-by-step how to create a dream practice outside of REM-sleep states that they can incorporate into their lives in personally meaningful ways. Liminal dreaming practice is also far easier to learn than lucid dreaming practice, making it possible for the reader to begin working with these dreams this very night.

Download or read book Why Cope When You Can Heal written by Mark Goulston and published by Harper Horizon. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Cope When You Can Heal? is an essential resource for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals—and the leaders who support them—as they navigate the traumatic stress they have experienced and continue to face. COVID-19 has traumatized the world—and no group has been more impacted than frontline healthcare workers. They’ve worked without adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), witnessed mass death, and been forced to make choices that haunt them. Many have fallen ill, while others have worried endlessly about their own health and that of their loved ones. Additionally, all of this is happening in the context of a divided nation, a struggling industry, and a “just get over it” culture that exacerbates the problems healthcare workers face, while minimizing their suffering. These factors have created the perfect storm for widespread stress, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness—and, increasingly, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Medical doctor and psychiatrist Mark Goulston shares practical, evidence-based techniques and treatments for managing traumatic stress that will fill you with hope and inspiration. In Why Cope When You Can Heal?, you will discover: real-world accounts and experiences from frontline workers; an overview of treatment options; and exercises, tools, and tips that you can use today. This guide will help you—and those you love and support in the COVID-19 battle—begin the process of healing from the inside out and reconnect with the joys and rewards of career and life.

Download or read book Care After Covid What the Pandemic Revealed Is Broken in Healthcare and How to Reinvent It written by Shantanu Nundy and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical action plan for reinventing healthcare in a post-pandemic world—from a physician-entrepreneur who works with Fortune 500 companies. If the healthcare system were an emperor, Covid-19 tragically revealed that it had no clothes. Healthcare had to adapt, and quickly―sparking a dramatic acceleration of virtual care, drive-through testing, and home-based services. In the process, old rules were rewritten and, perhaps surprisingly, largely in a good way for patients. To succeed in the post-pandemic world, all of us―patients, caregivers, providers, employers, investors, technologists, and policymakers―need to understand the new healthcare landscape and change our strategies and behaviors accordingly. In Care After Covid, practicing physician and business leader Dr. Shantanu Nundy—Chief Medical Officer of Accolade, which provides technology-enabled health services to Fortune 500 companies as well as small businesses―lays out a comprehensive plan to transform healthcare along three dimensions: Distributed: healthcare will happen where health happens. It will shift from where doctors are to where patients are—at home, in the community, and increasingly on their phones. Digitally enabled: healthcare and the relationships that are central to care will be strengthened by data and technology. It will shift from being siloed to connected, from being episodic to continuous, from one-size-fits-all to more personalized. Decentralized: healthcare decisions and resources will be in the hands of those closest to care. The power to determine who gets care and how they get it will shift away from governments and insurance companies to communities, employers, doctors, and patients. Filled with firsthand insights and stories from the frontlines of healthcare—as well as innovative solutions that were proven effective before and during the pandemic—Care After Covid shows all stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem exactly what needs to change and, more importantly, how to do it. The time to act is now. We can’t afford not to.

Download or read book Covid Compensation written by Lawrence Wolfe-Xavier and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world was quietly going about its "normal business" when late in 2019 the entire global world of 195 countries, even China, was turned completely on its head by a fake "virus" and a fake "pandemic". However, the world was not to know at the time, and for the most part still does not know; until the publication of this book, that the entire chapter and verse of the "virus" paradigm called "SarsCov2", and its ensuing ailment "Covid19 and its "pandemic" were all total lies and fake. Lies and fake propagated by hidden persons and their nominated puppets in mostly unelected, globalist organisations beyond the reach of sovereign states: WHO, WEF, UN, World Bank etc who in reality control the world. Consequently, in early 2020 and the following months through to 2021 there was a world-wide 'nightmare' that no one seemed to fully understand or indeed understand at all. This nightmare was known variously as "Coronavirus" "Sars-Cov2" and "Covid19". Coronaviruses can cause mild disease similar to a common cold. "Sars-Cov2" - severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was claimed to be a "novel" (new) coronavirus and the illness "Covid19", was supposedly caused by "Sars-Cov2". Mass Induced Dystopian Nightmare The dystopian nightmare had only just begun and was to last almost two full years – 2020-2022. Horrible images appeared from China (not the most democratic country in the world) then from Italy and other countries until world-wide. Preposterous projections of not to happen global deaths based on very flawed computer models were bandied about to an unknowing mass of a very frightened and unfortunately deliberately ill-informed global population. Global mass media fanned the flames morning, day, and night for many months on end. Inappropriate quarantine measures were globally, in lockstep, imposed that restricted human movement to an inhuman level that people were not permitted to see their loved ones when their loved ones were dying in hospitals and care homes! The world was a surreal, dystopian horror story – police vans patrolling the street at night, complete lockdown and no one allowed outside except for one hours walk per day, no gatherings greater than six, empty streets, closed and boarded shops, empty parks, and empty beaches. Draconian civil rights restrictions were imposed. The Global economic and social life the world over were about to fall into total collapse. On what data were these extreme measures taken? Was the world really under such a massive threat that we had to close down global capitalism for 2 years? Had the benefits of these very severe measures been adequately assessed against the damage that they would also no doubt cause to the global economy and to individual person's lives throughout the world? No, they had not. They were simply imposed globally without recourse to any open debate or serious risk analysis. Medico-Totalitarianism strode the world like a Great Dictator with all debate and opposition silenced by the baying mob of puppet Mainstream Media. Until the publication of this book – "COVID" COMPENSATION - SHOCKING TRUTH REVEALED by the finest independent scientific, medical, and legal minds in the world.
