Book SynopsisMeeting the psychological and spiritual needs of patients is vital to supporting their wellbeing in health care settings. To develop an effective, holistic and inclusive approach to care within predominantly medical health care models, practitioners across health care disciplines must work collaboratively to understand the complex, significant relationships between their patients' medical, therapeutic and spiritual requirements.Bridging the gap between care disciplines, the book presents an innovative vision of patient wellbeing enriched by a synthesis of psychological, spiritual and medical approaches. Prominent practitioners from a range of disciplines including nursing and psychiatry demonstrate how their psycho-spiritual approaches meet the individual needs of patients, adapting to their emotional, spiritual and religious requirements. Accessible and enlightening, this book offers significant practical insight into the role of psychologically informed spiritual care.Trade ReviewThis book will be required reading for the rapidly growing number of health care practitioners and trainees who want to know more about the contribution psychologically informed spiritual care can make to psychological health in the UK.Accessible and engaging, it provides an excellent overview of the development of psycho-spiritual care in the context of holistic health.

Book SynopsisIn recent years, the human values at the heart of the nursing profession seem to have become side-lined by an increased focus on managerialist approaches to health care provision. Nursing's values are in danger of becoming marginalised further precisely because that which nursing does best - providing care and helping individuals through the human trauma of illness - is difficult to measure, and therefore plays little, if any, part in official accounts of outcome measures. Derek Sellman sets out the case for re-establishing the primacy of the virtues that underpin the practice of nursing in order to address the question: what makes a good nurse? He provides those in the caring professions with both a rationale and a practical understanding of the importance that particular character traits, including justice, courage, honesty, trustworthiness and open-mindedness, play in the practice of nursing, and explains why and how nurses should strive to cultivate these virtues, as well as the implications of this for practice. This original and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for nurses and nursing students, care workers, care commissioners, and many others who work in the caring professions.Trade ReviewAs a nurse educator, I approached Sellman's work from my perspective of working with undergraduate students at the beginning of their nursing program - a critical point for teachers to consider what Sellman asks of us - What makes a good nurse? And why are the virtues important for nurses? As a teacher, not only was I looking for a comprehensive philosophical analysis of the virtues themselves, but also some thoughtful suggestions for how to approach the learning of, and teaching for virtue development, and how to help students value virtues as critically important attributes for nurses. In this, Sellman did not disappoint as I found myself immersed in philosophical complexity, compelling arguments, and renewed conviction about the importance of virtues for nurses and the educational endeavor as the appropriate space in which to locate them. -- Nurse Education TodayThis is a stimulating, engaging text covering a wide terrain... I recommend that this book as a stimulating text for undergraduates, postgraduates and their lecturers; where the purpose will be to initiate discussion on distinctions between the ideal and the real. In this respect the book has value, as a catalyst, where these important matters will benefit from further debate. -- Nursing PhilosophyThis book is published at a time in which it seems that virtue ethics is having a revival in applied medical ethics, and this also accounts for nursing ethics. The picture of what makes a good nurse as drawn by Derek Sellman should be debated, to see what nurses should or need not aim for. Especially nursing students will be interested in discussing virtues ethics and how to cope with difficult circumstances in order to realize the virtues into practice. -- Medicine, Health Care & PhilosophyHe presents persuasive arguments and I commend him for drawing attention to the importance of these virtues in nursing. He presents values that all nurses should consider for their own practice and for the education of future generations. -- Nursing StandardsThe theoretical domain within which nursing seeks to fulfil its social mandate demands not only shared ideals but also systems and structures to enact them. Sellman has jumped headfirst into this treacherous intellectual and ethical minefield, and offered us an enticing new direction. -- Prof. Sally Thorne, University of British Columbia School of Nursing, Vancouver, CanadaTaking up the conundrum of what constitutes the "good nurse", Derek Sellman invites us into a lively and intelligent dialogue between science, morality, and applied practice. He guides us underneath our taken-for-granted understandings of such notions as courage, trustworthiness and open mindedness so that we encounter these professional virtues not as fossilized attributes to be known or possessed, but rather as intricately complex, delicately situated, and constantly evolving expressions of human practices within the conditions that shape them. Teasing apart the ideals these virtues represent, he challenges our usual approaches to thinking about the nature of nursing, encouraging us to reframe the manner in which we educate those who seek to learn the mysteries of its practice. -- Prof. Sally Thorne, University of British Columbia School of Nursing, Vancouver, CanadaThis is perhaps the most thorough and outstanding coverage of the philosophical basis for nursing practice and nursing education that exists to date. What is nursing? What sort of people nurses should be? Derek makes this difficult but important area of nursing inquiry much, much easier. Powerful and elegant from start to finish, this book should be on the desk of every nurse. -- Prof. Diana Lee, Chair Professor of Nursing and Director, The Nethersole School of Nursing, The Chinese University of Hong KongDerek Sellman's text is both a timely and highly absorbing journey deep into the heart of nursing. It reveals a timeless and essential set of key virtues that should be a major part of the moral compass of every nurse. Subsequently, it should be read by all nurses - and most certainly by all nurse educators - who are interested in maintaining and promoting the vital moral characteristics of nursing now and in the future. -- Dr. Martin Woods, Senior Lecturer, School of Health and Social Services, Massey University, New ZealandNursing, according to Derek Sellman, is a MacIntyrian practice which can only flourish when it is not prevented from pursuing the completion of independent ideas. In What Makes a Good Nurse, being vulnerable, trustworthy and open-minded are central virtues studied critically to offer future perspectives. Situated in the realities of the nursing profession today, Sellman draws back on his rich experiences as a teacher of nursing and his deep reflections as a philosopher. This is what makes the book so authentic and easy to stroll through the realms of philosophy. Readers will certainly feel encouraged to engage in a fruitful conversation on moral understandings of contemporary professional nursing. -- Dr. Helen Kohlen, Sociologist, Junior Professor of Care Policy and Ethics, Faculty of Nursing, University of Vallendar, GermanyThis is a very careful ethical discussion that will not be for every reader, but is a valuable contribution to the current crisis of confidence, both in the NHS and society, about how we define the common good and moral responsibilities and wisdom. -- The SignTable of ContentsForeword by Alan Cribb.

Book SynopsisNo official statistics are kept for the number of hospital patients, in particular older people, who are subjected to neglect and abuse. That is, left malnourished and dehydrated, in pain, allowed to develop agonising and fatal pressure sores, not taken to the toilet, left to lie in their own bodily waste, cared for in a filthy environment and at risk of infection, ignored, allowed to fall over repeatedly, not spoken to, left naked or dressed in other patients' clothes - and discharged from hospital prematurely. This book bears witness to all these practices and more. Setting out a wealth of evidence not previously brought together, Michael Mandelstam shows beyond question that neglectful care is a systemic blight, rather than mere local blemish, within our health services. He analyses the causes and factors involved, reveals the widespread denial and lack of accountability on the part of those responsible - and spells out the political, moral, professional and legal implications of this failure to care for the most vulnerable of patients with humanity and compassion. Most important, Mandelstam points to the main obstacles to a solution - and to how they can be removed and change be accomplished.This book should be read by anyone concerned with the state of our health services, including National Health Service users, government policy makers and planners, public health practitioners and academics and researchers.Trade ReviewThis very readable book presents an enlightening read for all involved in health care, from senior politicians and policy-makers to individual practitioners and students. -- British Journal of Occupational TherapyStudents and practitioners reading the book should appreciate and learn from the material provided and gain a deeper understanding of the range of issues involved. This is a useful book that will be of interest to the range of individuals and organisations working in the area of adult services, including but not exclusively, adult safeguarding. -- Journal of Adult ProtectionThis is very important book for all to consider carefully, because, whatever health problems we encounter, we do hope, at least, to be treated with compassion and professional care. -- The SignIn How we treat the sick, Mandelstam combines his detailed legal understanding with his commitment to "skilled, compassionate, dignified inpatient nursing, genuine rehabilitation and palliative care" (dedication, to the memory of the staff at the Walnuttree Hospital in Sudbury, Suffolk)... Michael Mandelstam's work on Community Care law has been so thorough, accurate, and useful for practitioners so it was a pleasure to review this book. -- Community Care, "Mad World" blogFor social workers, this book raises challenges. How far should social workers challenge and confront poor standards of health care? Should social workers challenge other professionals who speak coarsely and harshly to and about those in their care? The answer should, of course, be "yes".This book gives material to ponder the consequences of silence. Recommended for students, those working in adult safeguarding and adult services. -- PSWMichael Mandelstam... outlines and provides evidence for what he sees as the decline in care, especially of older people in the NHS and the independent sector.His book is filled with shocking detail from public inquiries, coroners' reports, court judgements and statements from patients and their relatives... Every assertion is supported with clear evidence... This book should be required reading for everyone with any influence over health care, from the prime minister and health secretary to care workers. -- Nursing StandardYet again Michael Mandelstam has applied his precise yet passionate analysis to "neglect and abuse in our health services". Mandelstam is a brilliant and committed writer. We should all read this book alongside the report of the inquiry into the management of the Mid Staffs Foundation Trust (if it ever gets published). -- Caring TimesTerrible in its message and merciless in its delivery, it is quite unlike anything I have read from JKP. It is certainly their most daring and significant publication ever. But be prepared: I had to take a break halfway through, exhausted and trembling as I tried to live with the pace and intensity of the writing... Every argument and observation is backed up by a series of facts annotated with sound references. Michael Mandelstam shares with many healthcare litigants a deep sense of wrong and loss. Loss of the healthcare system he and I and most of you have believed to be ours: good, and never-to-be hurt or transfigured into something soiled, tarnished, perverted... It should be read by everyone with a serious concern for the health, welfare and pride of this country and others. It could be the Old Testament from which a New Testament can emerge. -- Dementia UKIn some ways it is the voice of the neglected and abused elderly and their relatives pleading for change... The balance between running a financially viable organization and providing high-quality individualized care needs to be pivoted on the fulcrum of dignity and respect. To help redress that balance, someone should send a copy of this book to every chief executive, finance director and chief nurse in the NHS. -- The TabletSuccessive reports on catastrophic failures in the nursing care of desperately sick people in our hospitals have had little effect. They have failed to see the systemic nature of the problem and, worse, have proposed box-ticking solutions to what is often the abandonment of common humanity. Michael Mandelstam's documentation of a continuing scandal that touches on all of us is worth a thousand expensive inquiries. This brilliant and impassioned book should be mandatory reading for policymakers and all of those who care for vulnerable people. -- Raymond Tallis FRCP FMedSci, Emeritus Professor of Geriatric Medicine and author of Hippocratic Oaths: Medicine and its Discontents.Going forward we can, and must, do much more to improve, firstly the health and social care of vulnerable people who cannot speak for themselves and secondly, the training and morale of those whose job it is to care for them. A good place to start would be immediately to begin the process of vigorously consigning to history the bad practices so clearly highlighted in this important book. -- Baroness Sally Greengross OBEMichael Mandelstam has provided a devastating account of some of the more horrifying aspects of the care provided by the National Health Service. As he points out this is not necessarily typical of all care provided, even by those institutions mentioned in the book. It is however a sufficiently alarming book that should be read by everyone concerned with health care in Britain, and demands attention both from the organisations concerned and from those responsible for the management and reorganisation of the NHS. -- Tim Yeo MPHow we treat the Sick' is a call for action. NHS staff have been smothered and de-motivated by countless targets and controls. Focused regulation and more autonomy for front line staff could transform the experience of patients. -- Baroness Molly MeacherAmidst the striking advances in modern medicine stands the starkly contrasting deterioration in the day to day care of vulnerable patients. Neglect and abuse of elderly and incapacitated patients in our hospitals and nursing homes is not a rare or occasional scandal picked out by the media. The picture painted in this timely book strongly points to a much wider spread of failures of acceptable standards of care. Despite any number of published inquiries little seems to have changed in the last few years. This excellent book now demands action not words from the professions and Government. -- Lord Leslie TurnbergA searing condemnation of neglect and abuse of older people in our health services, this is a must-read volume to spur us to action. We tolerate the appalling treatment of older people in some of our institutions (by no means all) because, as a society, we don't think they matter. If we visited more, challenged more, took ownership more seriously, and gave care staff, often pressurised and underpaid, more respect, things might get better. Michael Mandelstam is to be congratulated for drawing this to our attention. Now it is up to us to find the solution - and that lies partly in valuing those who care for our older people better, paying them better, and regarding care as a serious career choice. -- Baroness Julia NeubergerCaring for people is extremely challenging and expecting anyone to do so in adverse, under-staffed conditions, with little or no emotional support, is asking for trouble, as the people given a voice in this book bear witness. -- The Psychiatrist.This sobering account of the deterioration of care for elderly patients in this country makes a strong case about the systemic nature of this failure... Above all this book makes a bold address for action at every level of the NHS and indeed society, to find good solutions to this snowballing epidemic. -- Stephanie Watts, Assistant Psychologist, Bagnor University * Signpost *Table of ContentsForeword.

Book SynopsisThe book explores how mentoring, theoretical background of mentoring and how mentoring is used by nurses in all arenas where they work in health care, education, research, policy, politics, and academia in supporting nurses with their professional and career development. Over 300 mentors and mentees, from a wide range of countries across all continents, share their stories of mentoring reflecting on their development in leadership, clinical practice, education, research and politics. The book describes various types of mentoring including more traditional types of mentoring as well as virtual, online and peer mentoring. During the mentorship trajectories the nurses address an inclusive collection of issues that they are faced with and share supporting strategies. The book highlights the importance of mentoring for nurses to support their personal, and professional leadership development. Also, it emphasizes the importance of mentoring for when nurses engaged in variety of projects that could entail or encompass evidence-based clinical practice, development within education, research in the clinical arena, policy formation, political affairs, or cultural inclusion that present significant impact in patient care and healthcare outcomes within and across countries. With The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity report from the National Academies of Sciences, published in 2021, the role of nursing will become ever more dynamic and therefore the profession of nursing must be visible in improving and securing the future for patients, families, and communities across the globe. Mentoring practices to build the profession’s leaders are forever essential, acute, and imperative.This book shows how mentoring can support nurses in further developing nursing as a profession and scientific discipline across countries to support clinical application of evidence based practice, and nursing education and research dissemination. Accordingly, this book shares essential, diverse and pioneering expertise through wide range of narrative stories that will benefit nurses at all years of experience, from early career nurses, emerging leaders, nurse educators, leaders, policy makers and nurse scientists around the globe. The nursing profession must magnify its position in health care and nurses need to proliferate their contributions throughout the globe. They can accomplish that through mentoring and “growing and nurturing other nurses” to advance and thrive in today’s world.Table of Contentssee the final list in the attachement with authorsDedicationForewordsPreface Acknowledgements Preface.- Foreword: Susan Hassmiller, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.- Foreword: Pam Cipriano, International Council of Nurses President.- Foreword: Beverly Malone, National League of Nursing CEO.

Book SynopsisThis second edition, in Open Access, aims to provide a comprehensive and practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture, with additional focus on those who are frail. It considers this from the perspectives of all the clinical and home care settings in which this group of patients receive care and is relevant to all global locations. The concept of orthogeriatric care is explored in detail. Global estimates suggest that there were 21 million men and 137 million women aged 50 years or more at high fracture risk in 2010. This incidence is expected to double by 2040, with the most significant increase in Asia. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers and thehe global demand for nursing care for patients with fragility fractures across the world is immense. Hip fracture is particularly challenging as these significant injuries often occur in frail older people requiring hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery. Such injuries and associated surgery result in increased frailty, worsening health and wellbeing, pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence, and decreased life expectancy. Care providers need to understand the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of patients and families so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. Expert care of patients following fractures that require hospitalisation and orthopaedic surgery involves skill in the care and treatment of frail older people as we as individuals with an injury and undergoing surgery. Nurses have a significant role in interdisciplinary collaborative care provided through orthogeriatric models of care. There is increasing evidence that such models significantly improve patient outcomes. High quality, evidence-based orthogeriatric care is increasingly shown to have positive impact on outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation, and secondary prevention of further fracture. This book significantly supports the aims and values of the Fragility Fracture Network and, as such, supports the learning needs of nurses and other allied health professionals which will enable a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in orthogeriatric and fragility fracture care.Table of ContentsForeword to second editionPreface to first editionPreface to second edition1.

Book SynopsisAuf Grundlage einer theoretischen Auseinandersetzung um Führungsethik entwirft Joern Suermann einen Ansatz prinzipienbasierter Personalführungsethik. Basierend auf einer qualitativen Studie bestimmt er 20 Antezedenzien ethikorientierter Führung von Stationsleitungen im Krankenhaus. Als organisationale Antezedenzien sind u.a. das disziplinäre Rollenverständnis der Stationsleitung, die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit auf der Station und der soziale Status der Pflegedirektion zu bewerten.

Book SynopsisAls eine der Ursachen für den Fachkräftemangel in Pflegeberufen wird der in diesem Bereich oft kurze Berufsverbleib diskutiert. Schlüssige Argumente legen nahe, dass sich bereits Erfahrungen in der Ausbildung auf die Verweildauer im Pflegeberuf auswirken. Andreas Küpper konkretisiert Moral Distress und ein berufsbezogenes Kohärenzgefühl als Determinanten auf den Berufsverbleib von Auszubildenden. Mit Hilfe eines quantitativen Forschungsdesigns werden im empirischen Teil des Buches die Einflussgrößen bei Auszubildenden in Baden-Württemberg untersucht. Der Autor wertet die gewonnenen Daten sowohl deskriptiv als auch interferenzstatistisch aus und diskutiert diese im Kontext bisheriger Erkenntnisse. Table of ContentsErhebung und Darstellung ausbildungsbezogener und soziodemografischer Daten der Auszubildenden.- Beabsichtigter Berufsverbleib der Auszubildenden.- Erhebung und Darstellung der Ausprägung des Kohärenzgefühls und des empfundenen Moralischen Stress.- Mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Kohärenzgefühl und der Belastung durch Moralischen Stress.- Implikationen für die pflegepädagogische Forschung und Praxis.
