Book excerpt: El Informe sobre la salud en el mundo 2006 - Colaboremos por la salud presenta una evaluación realizada por expertos de la actual crisis del personal sanitario mundial, así como un ambicioso conjunto de propuestas para hacer frente a ese problema durante los próximos diez años, empezando a actuar de inmediato. Esa crisis constituye una severa limitación para la mejora de la salud en casi 60 países a nivel mundial. Se estima que existe un déficit de casi 4,3 millones de médicos, parteras, enfermeras y trabajadores auxiliares en todo el mundo, que reviste la máxima gravedad en los países más pobres, sobre todo del África subsahariana, que es donde más se necesitan. Las malas condiciones de empleo, las altas tasas de pérdida de efectivos por enfermedad y migración, y unos sistemas de enseñanza que no dan abasto reflejan la gravedad de los problemas que sufren esos países en crisis.La fuerza de trabajo sanitaria mundial asciende a unos 59 millones de personas. Una de cada tres está empleada en las Américas - la mayoría en los Estados Unidos y el Canadá -, donde se concentra más de la mitad de los recursos financieros destinados a la salud en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, sólo cuatro de cada cien trabajadores sanitarios se encuentran en el África subsahariana, que alberga una cuarta parte de la carga mundial de morbilidad, pero menos del 1% de los recursos financieros mundiales.En este informe se indica la manera de lograr un mayor equilibrio. Planificando activamente los detalles de la vida laboral de los trabajadores desde el momento de su incorporación a la formación sanitaria, pasando por la contratación, hasta la jubilación, cobra forma un amplio conjunto de acciones de política que pueden contribuir palpablemente a mejorar el desempeño de los trabajadores sanitarios. Todos los países pueden mejorar la productividad de sus trabajadores de inmediato, pero deben también empezar a prever lo que depara el futuro y adquirir la capacidad institucional necesaria para dirigir, gestionar y regular a los trabajadores sanitarios.El liderazgo nacional requerido para ello puede respaldarse mediante una solidaridad mundial que aporte bienes públicos, como marcos técnicos comunes e investigaciones prioritarias, y propicie acuerdos de colaboración en materia de migración y movilización de los trabajadores internacionales en respuesta a las emergencias sanitarias. A fin de ayudar a los países que atraviesan una crisis profunda, se precisa la coordinación y el compromiso urgentes de los asociados internacionales para invertir directamente en los trabajadores sanitarios, ya mismo y a largo plazo. En el presente informe se establece un plan de acción a diez años en el que los países pueden desarrollar su fuerza de trabajo sanitaria y potenciar sus sistemas de salud con el apoyo de asociados mundiales: colaborando por la salud.Una fuerza de trabajo robusta y enérgica constituye una inversión en salud para el presente y para el futuro.

Download or read book Indigenous Healing Psychology written by Richard Katz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting modern psychology to its Indigenous roots to enhance the healing process and psychology itself • Shares the healing wisdom of Indigenous people the author has worked with, including the Ju/’hoansi of the Kalahari Desert, the Fijians of the South Pacific, Sicangu Lakota people, and Cree and Anishnabe First Nations people • Explains how Indigenous perspectives can help create a more effective model of best practices in psychology • Explores the vital role of spirituality in the practice of psychology and the shift of emphasis that occurs when one understands that all beings are interconnected Wherever the first inhabitants of the world gathered together, they engaged in the human concerns of community building, interpersonal relations, and spiritual understanding. As such these earliest people became our “first psychologists.” Their wisdom lives on through the teachings of contemporary Indigenous elders and healers, offering unique insights and practices to help us revision the self-limiting approaches of modern psychology and enhance the processes of healing and social justice. Reconnecting psychology to its ancient roots, Richard Katz, Ph.D., sensitively shares the healing wisdom of Indigenous peoples he has worked with, including the Ju/’hoansi of the Kalahari Desert, Fijians native to the Fiji Islands, Lakota people of the Rosebud Reservation, and Cree and Anishnabe First Nations people from Saskatchewan. Through stories about the profoundly spiritual ceremonies and everyday practices he engaged in, he seeks to fulfill the responsibility he was given: build a foundation of reciprocity so Indigenous teachings can create a path toward healing psychology. Also drawing on his experience as a Harvard-trained psychologist, the author reveals how modern psychological approaches focus too heavily on labels and categories and fail to recognize the benefits of enhanced states of consciousness. Exploring the vital role of spirituality in the practice of psychology, Katz explains how the Indigenous approach offers a way to understand challenges and opportunities, from inside lived truths, and treat mental illness at its source. Acknowledging the diversity of Indigenous approaches, he shows how Indigenous perspectives can help create a more effective model of best practices in psychology as well as guide us to a more holistic existence where we can once again assume full responsibility in the creation of our lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this expanded and revised edition of a fresh and original case-study textbook on environmental ethics, Christine Gudorf and James Huchingson continue to explore the line that separates the current state of the environment from what it should be in the future. Boundaries begins with a lucid overview of the field, highlighting the key developments and theories in the environmental movement. Specific cases offer a rich and diverse range of situations from around the globe, from saving the forests of Java and the use of pesticides in developing countries to restoring degraded ecosystems in Nebraska. With an emphasis on the concrete circumstances of particular localities, the studies continue to focus on the dilemmas and struggles of individuals and communities who face daunting decisions with serious consequences. This second edition features extensive updates and revisions, along with four new cases: one on water privatization, one on governmental efforts to mitigate global climate change, and two on the obstacles that teachers of environmental ethics encounter in the classroom. Boundaries also includes an appendix for teachers that describes how to use the cases in the classroom.
