Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first practical guide for nurses on how to incorporate the knowledge, skills, and tools of Strength-Based Nursing Care (SBC) into everyday practice. The text, based on a model developed by the McGill University Nursing Program, signifies a paradigm shift from a deficit-based model to one that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The book develops the theoretical foundations underlying SBC, promotes the acquisition of fundamental skills needed for SBC practice, and offers specific strategies, techniques, and tools for identifying strengths and harnessing them to facilitate healing and health. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.

Book An Introduction to Health Planning for Developing Health Systems

Download or read book An Introduction to Health Planning for Developing Health Systems written by Andrew Green and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-11 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health planning is a critical component when responding to the health needs of low and middle income countries, characterised by particularly stringent resource constraints. The major communicable diseases such as AIDS, TB and malaria often appear in parallel with growing non-communicable diseases including heart disease and diabetes, and yet resources are often less than the levels recommended by the World Health Organisation for basic health care. The new edition of this well-respected text explains the importance of health planning in both developing regions such as Africa, and those in transition, such as Central and Eastern Europe. It stresses the importance of understanding the national and international context in which planning occurs, and provides an up to date analysis of the major current policy issues, including health reforms. Separate chapters are dedicated to the distinct issues of finance for health care and human resource planning. The various techniques used at each stage of the planning process are explained, starting with the situational analysis and then looking in turn at priority-setting, option appraisal, programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The book ends by examining the challenges facing planners in the 21st century, particularly in the light of growing globalisation. A major theme of the book is the need to recognise and reconcile the inevitable tension that lies between value judgements and 'rational' decision-making. As such, in addition to introducing techniques such as costing and economic appraisal, it also outlines techniques such as stakeholder analysis for understanding the relative attitudes and power of different groups in planning decisions. Each chapter includes a comprehensive bibliography (including key websites), a summary, and exercises to help the reader practise techniques and better understand the content. The book argues that all health professionals and community groups should be involved in the planning process for it to be effective, and will therefore appeal to anyone involved in planning.

Download or read book Nurse Educator Core Competencies written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization has developed these Nurse Educator Core Competencies to enable educators to effectively contribute to the attainment of high quality education, and the production of effective, efficient and skilled nurses who are able to respond to the health needs of the populations they serve. This will enable the attainment of objectives one and two of the Global strategy on human resources for health: Workforce 2030 and is also a priority in the updated Global strategic directions on nursing and midwifery 2016-2020. The aim of this publication is to provide a clear outline of Nurse Educator Core Competencies and performance expectations, which can form the basis for developing a competence-based curriculum encompassing the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills and behaviors expected of nurse teachers. The competencies are intended to help guide the educational preparation of nurse teachers; ensure educational quality and accountability; and, ultimately, contribute to improving the provision of nursing care and outcomes of health services. Much effort has gone into the preparation of the Nurse Educator Core Competencies. It is the aim of the World Health Organization that they will facilitate nurse educators to attain increased proficiency in assisting student nurses to acquire all the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to practice nursing effectively in the 21st century.

Book Factors Influencing the Job Satisfaction of Critical Care Nurses

Download or read book Factors Influencing the Job Satisfaction of Critical Care Nurses written by Amy K. Kinzie and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study examined the relationships between the self- reported and calculated levels of job satisfaction among critical care nurses; and examined the relationships between selected demographic and work-related factors and the self- reported level of job satisfaction. This descriptive correlational study was conducted in the Spring of 1989. One hundred sixteen critical care nurses from two metropolitan hospitals voluntarily participated in the study. Fifty one (44.0%) of these nurses were employed in Intensive Care Units, while 65 (56.0%) nurses were employed in Coronary Care Units. All subjects completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic data and the Index of Work Satisfaction (IWS) (Stamps & Piedmonte, 1986). The analysis consisted of descriptive measures to examine the demographic data, which included measures of central tendency and frequency distributions. Pearson R correlations were used to examine the relationships between the Component Mean Scale scores obtained from the IWS, the Total Mean Scale scores obtained from the IWS, and selected demographic and Job Satisfaction environmental factors obtained from the demographic questionnaire. Kruskal-Willis analysis of variance examined the relationships between the Total Mean Scale Score and selected variables; while Mann-Whitney U tests were used to examine the relationships between the Total Mean Scale Score and selected variables. The findings revealed a statistically significant difference between the self-reported level of job satisfaction and the component mean scale scores of Pay and Professional Status. There were no significant differences among the other component scale scores or between the self- reported level of satisfaction and the calculated Total Mean Scale Score of satisfaction. Male subjects reported a statistically significant difference in their level of job satisfaction. Implications for nursing include the need for further identification of the factors that influence the level of job satisfaction for critical care nurses. In addition, the relationship of the components of pay and professional status to job satisfaction needs further definition before conclusions can be drawn"--Document.
