Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Nursing / Foster Care Management / Social Services, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences North Rhine-Westphalia Köln (Gesundheitswesen), course: Soziale Arbeit und Pflege, language: English, abstract: Preamble „Participation“ is no usual, conversational term in the German nursing language. Translated as “part taking” and “co-determination” participation means the political co-determination of the public in bills and in democratic elections. If the German nursing literature and language speaks of participation we rather use terms like “patient self-government” and “self-determination” which mean cooperation or participation in nursing and caring processes. Saunders (1995) who explicitly uses the term of patient participation defines it as „active process of participation in and advancement of therapeutic or general self nursing abilities or the participiation in decisions concerning from reception to dismissal“ My presentation follows the central Theme “Participiation” in this way of definition. This issue will give you an overview about the concepts of Participation in the vocational training of nurses, in nursing sciences and especially in the practice of nursing. Therefore i give you an outline of the different areas.
Download or read book Philosophies and Practices of Emancipatory Nursing written by Paula N. Kagan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *** Awarded First Place in the 2015 AJN Book of the Year Award in two categories - "History and Public Policy" and "Professional Issues" *** This anthology presents the philosophical and practice perspectives of nurse scholars whose works center on promoting nursing research, practice, and education within frameworks of social justice and critical theories. Social justice nursing is defined by the editors as nursing practice that is emancipatory and rests on the principle of praxis which is practice aimed at attaining social justice goals and outcomes that improve health experiences and conditions of individuals, their communities, and society. There is a lack in the nursing discipline of resources that contain praxis approaches and there is a need for new concepts, models, and theories that could encompass scholarship and practice aimed at purposive reformation of nursing, other health professions, and health care systems. Chapters bridge critical theoretical frameworks and nursing science in ways that are understandable and useful for practicing nurses and other health professionals in clinical settings, in academia, and in research. In this book, nurses’ ideas and knowledge development efforts are not limited to problems and solutions emerging from the dominant discourse or traditions. The authors offer innovative ways to work towards establishing alternative forms of knowledge, capable of capturing both the roots and complexity of contemporary problems as distributed across a diversity of people and communities. It fills a significant gap in the literature and makes an exceptional contribution as a collection of new writings from some of the foremost nursing scholars whose works are informed by critical frameworks.
