Download or read book Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy written by Nicole Matthews and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As digital life stories continue to assume more and more significance across a range of institutions, so too does their potential to bring into focus once marginalised and neglected voices. Breaking new ground by reframing multimedia life stories as a resource for education, public health, and policy, this book challenges policymakers, professionals, and researchers to reimagine how they find out about and respond to people’s daily lives and experiences of health, disability, and well-being. The book develops theoretical, methodological, and practical resources for listening to digital stories through a series of carefully selected international case studies, from dementia care education to campaigns in the UN to ban cluster munitions. The case studies explore and illuminate different ways that digital stories have – and have not – been listened to in the past. The authors expose the great potential as well as the complexity of using powerful personal stories in practice. Together, the case studies highlight that processes of listening to, learning from, and making use of digital stories involve unavoidable processes of reinterpretation, recontextualisation, and translation which have significant ethical and political implications for storytellers, listeners, and society. In mapping and theorising the movement of stories into new contexts of policy and practice, the book offers a critical lens on the widely celebrated democratising potential of digital storytelling and its capacity to amplify marginalised voices. Digital Storytelling in Health and Social Policy develops an authoritative and original re-conceptualisation of digital life stories and their use for social justice ends, and will be important reading for researchers and practitioners from a range of backgrounds, including social policy, digital media, communication, education, disability, and public health.

Download or read book Handbook of Social Work in Health and Aging written by Barbara Berkman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-09 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Social Work in Health and Aging is the first reference to combine the fields of health care, aging, and social work in a single, authoritative volume. These areas are too often treated as discrete entities, while the reality is that all social workers deal with issues in health and aging on a daily basis, regardless of practice specialization. As the baby boomers age, the impact on practice in health and aging will be dramatic, and social workers need more specialized knowledge about aging, health care, and the resources available to best serve older adults and their families. The volume's 102 original chapters and 13 overviews, written by the most experienced and prominent gerontological health care scholars in the United States and across the world, provide social work practitioners and educators with up-to-date knowledge of evidence-based practice guidelines for effectively assessing and treating older adults and their families; new models for intervention in both community-based practice and institutional care; and knowledge of significant policy and research issues in health and aging. A truly monumental resource, this handbook represents the best research on health and aging available to social workers today.

Download or read book Speaking from Experience written by Inc Cobble Hill Health Center and published by Delmar Pub. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE" is the title of a new and informative nursing manual based on extensive interviews of nursing assistants working at the Cobble Hill Health Center. Funded by a generous grant from the Fan Fox and Leslie. R. Samuels Foundation, the Cobble Hill research staff has conducted these interviews with over 40 nursing aides and orderlies. While most nurse training manuals are written by professionals who have had little "hands-on" experience, "Speaking From Experience" has given the staff the opportunity to speak directly to other nurses, nursing assistants and family caregivers. The resulting nurses' manual uses the experiences, suggestions and direct quotations of staff to outline pointed common sense approaches in working with individuals who have dementia. Photo-journalistic coverage of the staff and residents in day-to-day work relationships illustrate the text.
