Her passion for philosophy and phenomenological research was evident then, and it shows in her scholarly works. Her vast knowledge and expertise of phenomenological research makes her an authority in this method. Great job Dr. Cypress! Meriam Caboral-Stevens, PhD, RN, NP-C Associate Professor School of Nursing Eastern Michigan University Dr. Brigitte Cypress is a mentor and educator to PhD students. When I embarked on using phenomenology as the philosophical approach for my dissertation, I called upon her scholarly expertise, and I am honored to have her on my committee. She is an expert when it comes to deciphering and explaining the nuances between all of the different philosophical and phenomenological paradigms, which this textbook so aptly covers. Dr. Cypress established my foundation as a PhD student and piqued my interest in philosophy and using phenomenology to answer my research question. She was my first professor when I commenced my PhD journey at Pace University. Thank you, Dr Cypress, for all of your patience as I stumble through learning the complicated material, finding my way as a scholar, and for writing this book.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured
Book SynopsisCARING FOR THE DISPLACED AND UNINSURED An essential text to understanding key aspects of caring for uninsured people from underserved populations Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured presents clinical case studies that focus on the issues faced primarily by patients who are uninsured, self-paying, or are visiting from their home countries. While addressing the clinical aspects of primary care for a variety of conditions, these case studies go a step further to confront the issues faced by patients who seek care in clinics for the uninsured. Each case highlights the challenges presented by cultural, language and economic differences to providing high quality care, in particular for those whose jobs negatively affect their health, such as through musculoskeletal pain, neurological problems, prolonged standing, depression, or anxiety about feeding and housing their families. The cases explore how the healthcare provider approaches care with insufficient resources for patients who may have fled torture and violence, poverty and homelessness to face new challenges in the United States. The healthcare provider plays a key role in the adjustment of people seeking a better life for themselves and their families. Caring for the Displaced and Uninsured addresses: Issues related to family, medication, food, housing, finances, work, trauma, mental health, specialty access, delayed screening, visitors, and immigrationHow to think in broader terms when treating immigrant or uninsured patientsThe nuances of treating patients who have lived outside of their home country, apart from their families, for many yearsTips for providing quality healthcare within the parameters that currently exist in the healthcare system This text provides valuable insight and perspective for nursing and healthcare students, particularly those taking community health classes and classes that focus on uninsured and underserved populations.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Preface x Part I Cases 1 1 Family Issues 3 Evangeline 3 Florence 5 Gloria 7 2 Medication Issues 9 Ali 9 Ethan 11 Juan 13 Margarita 15 Paula 17 Rosa 20 Santiago 21 3 Food or Housing Issues 25 Carmen 25 Luciana 27 Michelle 30 Paul 31 4 Financial Issues 35 Glenda 35 Guillermo 38 Lisette 39 Lucia 41 5 Work-Related Issues 44 Karla 44 Mateo 46 Natalia 48 Pedro 50 Regina 52 6 Trauma/Mental Health Issues 57 Alba 57 Elena 58 Miguel 61 Darva 63 7 Specialty Access Issues 67 Carlos 67 Sergio 70 Valeria 72 8 Delayed Screening 75 Aurora 75 Mirikit 77 9 Visitors 79 Franz 79 Marcos 81 Trang 83 10 Immigration Issues 87 Gabriela 87 Isabella 89 Ivanna 92 Junior 95 11 Other 98 Julio 98 Mario 100 Ramon 102 Part II Dilemmas and Decisions 105 12 Family Issues 107 Evangeline 107 Florence 109 Gloria 110 13 Medication Issues 111 Ali 111 Ethan 113 Juan 115 Margarita 116 Paula 118 Rosa 119 Santiago 119 14 Food or Housing Issues 123 Carmen 123 Luciana 124 Michelle 125 Paul 127 15 Financial Issues 131 Glenda 131 Guillermo 133 Lisette 135 Lucia 139 16 Work-Related Issues 141 Karla 141 Mateo 142 Natalia 144 Pedro 144 Regina 146 17 Trauma/Mental Health Issues 149 Alba 149 Elena 150 Miguel 151 Darva 152 18 Specialty Access Issues 154 Carlos 154 Sergio 155 Valeria 158 19 Delayed Screening 160 Aurora 160 Mirikit 161 20 Visitors 164 Franz 164 Marcos 165 Trang 166 21 Immigration Issues 170 Gabriela 170 Isabella 171 Ivanna 172 Junior 174 22 Other 176 Julio 176 Mario 177 Ramon 179 Conclusion 181 Index 183

John Wiley & Sons Inc Notes On... Caring
Book SynopsisNOTES ON CARING Discover the connection between care and healing with this transformative book Care is often regarded as fundamental to the nursing profession, almost synonymous. The relationship between care and nursing is presented as though no further explanation is required, no theorisation of what it means to care, and no elaboration of the role played by care in nursing as a profession and a practice. Given the agreed-upon centrality of care to nursing, there is an urgent need for a work analysing this key relationship and what it can mean for nursing professionals. Notes On Caring meets this need with a clear, concise discussion of caring in the healthcare context. Beginning from the premise that care is essential to fostering the health and healing of others, it sets out to clarify the subject and articulate an ethic of care that can be cultivated in nursing and medical practice. With the COVID-19 pandemic placing nursing care more than ever at the forefront of public health, tTable of ContentsPreface ix Acknowledgements xi About the Author xiii About the Notes On ...

Johns Hopkins University Press Living Well with a Serious Illness
Book SynopsisA practical guide for understanding how palliative care can improve quality of life for patients and their caregivers. Robin Bennett Kanarek was a registered nurse working with patients suffering from chronic medical conditions when her ten-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. As her son endured grueling treatments, Robin realized how often medical professionals overlook critical psychological, emotional, and spiritual support for people with life-threatening illnesses. Living Well with a Serious Illness is the culmination of decades of Robin's work to advance the field of palliative care. Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys.
