Book Synopsis In Spirituality and Health Research: Methods, Measurement, Statistics, and Resources, Dr. Harold G. Koenig leads a comprehensive overview of this complex subject. Dr. Koenig is one of the world’s leading authorities on the relationship between spirituality and health, and a leading researcher on the topic. As such, he is distinctively qualified to author such a book. This unique source of information on how to conduct research on religion, spirituality, and health includes practical information that goes well beyond what is typically taught in most undergraduate, graduate, or even post-doctoral level courses. This volume reviews what research has been done, discusses the strengths and limitations of that research, provides a research agenda for the future that describes the most important studies that need to be done to advance the field, and describes how to actually conduct that research (design, statistical analysis, and publication of results). It also covers practical matters such as how to write fundable grants to support the research, where to find sources of funding support for research in this area, and what can be done even if the researcher has little or no funding support. The information gathered together here, which has been reviewed for accuracy and comprehensiveness by research design and statistical experts, has been acquired during a span of over twenty-five years that Dr. Koenig spent conducting research, reviewing others’ research, reviewing research grants, and interacting with mainstream biomedical researchers both within and outside the field of spirituality and health. The material is presented in an easy to read and readily accessible form that will benefit researchers at almost any level of training and experience.

Book SynopsisThe United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) and others have highlighted the need for an adequate and qualified nurse workforce to provide quality and timely care to veterans. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) faces challenges such as increased competition for skilled clinicians in hard-to-fill occupations such as nurses. As GAO has previously reported, recruitment and retention is particularly difficult for nurses with advanced professional skills, knowledge, and experience, which is critical given veterans needs for more complex specialized services. This book reviews the initiatives VHA has to recruit and retain its nurse workforce and the extent to which VHA oversees its nurse recruitment and retention initiatives. Furthermore, the book reviews the extent to which Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers (VAMC) have implemented VHAs nurse staffing methodology, and VHA oversees VAMCs implementation and ongoing administration of the methodology.

Book SynopsisThis book seeks to provide students and practicing nurses with the tools to better understand and engage in scientific arguments to support quality nursing and evidence-based practice. The nature of nursing and its relationship with science remains an area of ongoing debate, controversy and considerable confusion to both students and practitioners. For a science-based health discipline, it is something of a paradox that most nursing students have limited exposure to scientific philosophy education, which is not covered in depth in many modern university nursing programmes. This work seeks to remedy this: in providing material on modern scientific research methods, with particular emphasis on the context of practice, it presents an alternative theoretical iteration of holistic nursing as scientific inquiry. The author is a passionate advocate for empirical and pragmatic approaches to nursing, and the book provides challenging ideas to support a new wave of critical-thinking in contemporary nursing, confronting postmodern dogma with contemporary scientific critique. In doing so, this text engages readers with the art of progressive empirical client-centred care, appropriate for the development of 21st century holistic nursing practice.Trade Review“Broad in scope but comprehensive in detail, this book will benefit nursing students, researchers and clinicians. The work is thorough, informed, provocative and readable. I anticipate using it frequently when teaching, and I recommend it to under and post-graduate nurses of all stripes.” – Dr Martin Lipscomb, University of Worcester“I highly recommend this text for anyone teaching philosophy of nursing science at a graduate level. A thoughtful journey through the history of ideas about knowledge and truth claims in our discipline. And lots of fodder for lively dialogue!” - Dr. Sally Thorne, University of British Columbia, CanadaRecognizing the many and diverse pressures that nurses work under, Garrett has designed his book to serve as a textbook, a reference sources, or a concise guide and primer to scientific thinking and applications in nursing. He explains the blend of art and science that makes up nursing to emphasize the value of creative scientific thinking for practical nursing issues and for understanding how to avoid the pitfalls of non-science, pseudoscience, and even bad science along the way. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *Table of ContentsPreface: Using This Book Foreword Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a clear framework for conducting participatory research with children and young people supported with practical examples from international research studies. Our aim is to encourage more participatory research with children and young people on all matters that affect their lives. This book illustrates innovative ways of being participatory and sheds new light on involvement strategies that play to children’s and young people’s competencies. Participatory research is based on the recognition of children and young people as active contributors rather than objects of research. Participatory researchers support and value the voices of children and young people in all matters that concern them. Core to participatory research practice is a strengths-based approach that aims to promote the active engagement of children and young people in all stages of research, from inception to implementation and beyond. Engagement of children and young people requires the use of creative, participatory methods, tools and involvement strategies to reveal children’s competencies. This book shares knowledge about creative participatory techniques that can enable and promote children’s ways of expressing their views and experiences. The book provides guidance on appropriate techniques that reduce the power differential in the adult-child relationship and which optimise children’s abilities to participate in research. This book is targeted at researchers, academics, and practitioners who need guidance on what tools are available, how the tools can be used, advantages and challenges, and how best to involve children in all stages of a research project. It will provide several examples of how children can have an active participatory role in research. There is increasing interest in involving children as co-researchers but little guidance on how this can be done. This book fills a this gap by addressing all of these issues and by providing worked examples from leading researchers and academics.Table of ContentsTable of contentsDedicationPrefaceChapter 1: Participatory research in the past, present and future.Chapter 2: Principles of Participatory ResearchChapter 3: Ethical issues in participatory research with children and young peopleChapter 4: Being participatoryChapter 5: Being participatory through playChapter 6: Being participatory through interviewsChapter 7: Being participatory through photo based imagesChapter 8: Being participatory through the use of app-based research tools Chapter 9: Participatory research: does it genuinely extend the sphere of children and young people’s participation?

Book SynopsisThis book is the first ever to offer a contemporary collection of different perspectives on person-centredness in international doctoral nursing research. The research in the book is based on the ideas and values of personhood and person-centeredness, which have been used and can be seen to guide research approaches, inform research designs and theorize research findings. Further, a specific framework for person-centred nursing is embedded throughout the research studies presented in the text. The Person-centred Nursing Framework (PCNF) developed by Brendan McCormack and Tanya McCance in 2010, is recognized as a nursing theory and this book further develops it as a basis for research and for advancing person-centredness in nursing. The framework informs all stages of the research process, from design through to dissemination.The book is structured into a number of highly engaging chapters written by doctoral candidates, and recently graduated candidates. The opening and closing chapters, written by the editors, place the subsequent chapters in a global context of person-centredness and nursing. The potential for person-centred nursing research to be a global movement is recognized and debated. The subsequent chapters lead readers through philosophical ideas, methodologies and methods whilst also offering reflective and honest insights into learning how to become a person-centred researcher.This field is growing and developing but yet there is no specific book available. As a result, researchers spend considerable time and effort translating existing research methodologies into person-centred perspectives. This book fills this gap and acts as a key resource for future nurse researchers.The text is intended for, and benefits nursing doctoral candidates, masters candidates and academic staff who teach and supervise research candidates; it may also appeal to other graduate learners. The book has international contributions which makes it appealing internationally.Table of ContentsIntroductionJan Dewing, Brendan McCormack, Tanya McCanceChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis book provides guidance to readers for how to conduct an integrative review. Over the decades, with the expansion of evidence-based practice (EBP), the evolution of methods used in reviews has resulted in a wide spectrum of review types. Due to the overlapping characteristics of the various review methods, confusion exists related to terminology, descriptions and methods of each type. To fill this gap, this book examines components necessary to conduct a rigorous integrative review from formulating questions through dissemination of the results of the review. Each chapter focuses on one component or step in this process and is written in a straightforward and readable manner. An integrative review is considered by many as an actual research study, hence it should be approached following established research methods involving well‐defined steps. The integrative review is often compared with the systematic review. Both are used in healthcare research and follow a systematic process in reviewing literature and developing recommendations, but there are important differences that are addressed in the book. Evidence-based practice (EBP) demands high quality, rigorous evidence for nurse clinicians to make informed decisions with and for their patients. In nursing education, the integrative review is a frequent capstone project for graduate students and forms the basis for many doctoral projects. The Integrative review process should be valid, reliable and transparent and this book provides clear guidelines for writing an integrative review for students, educators, clinicians, and researchers. This book is a useful addition to courses for both undergraduate and graduate level writers of integrative reviews. In academia, a likely adoption would be in graduate research and research methods courses, and baccalaureate honor courses.Trade ReviewTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book addresses the many ethical issues and extraordinary risks that nurses and others are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which creates physical, emotional, and economic burdens, affecting nurses' overall health and well-being. Nurses are essential front-line clinicians across all health care settings and in every nation. The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the novel SARs-CoV-2 virus has affected children, adults, and communities within and across all societies. Nurses, too, have contracted the virus and died from the disease. They have also seen their colleagues, family members, and friends hospitalized or in intensive care units struggling to survive. Nursing’s professionalism and disciplinary resolve to care for patients and families amidst confusion, misinformation, and shifting guidelines has been called “heroic” by the public. How much risk should nurses be expected to accept during a pandemic? How do nurses help patients and families find comfort and dignity at the end-of-life? How do we help nurses who are suffering from moral distress and mental health concerns from what they have seen, been asked to do, or are unable to provide? And, how does society move forward from a pandemic that has challenged our basic ethical principles of justice and what is “fair, good and right” in caring for those who need care, including the most vulnerable and nurses themselves? This book addresses these and other ethical concerns that nurses are facing in their day-to-day clinical practice; experiences shared with patients, families, and colleagues. Although this book was written while the pandemic was still raging across the United States and globally, the events needed to be told as they were unfolding. This book helps us to learn from both the successes and failures that are affecting so many across the globe, including those on whom the public relies on to provide quality, compassionate, and expert care when they are sick: nurses. Table of ContentsChapter 1. IntroductionChristine Grady and Connie UlrichChapter 2. Understanding Acceptable Risks in Healthcare? [Occupational risks/limits/PPE/obligations]a. This chapter will focus on how we define an “acceptable risk” in healthcare. We will discuss the many risks that nurses encounter in their day-to-day patient care activities during COVID-19 both within hospital systems and other types of care facilities, including working without protective equipment and the general risks to patients and families. (adding statistics on risks for CPR, risks to ICU providers and others; risks with use of PPEChristine Grady and Connie UlrichChapter 3. Finding Compassion: Helping Patients Die and Sometimes Alone a. This chapter will discuss the role of nurses and others (palliative care) in helping patients die, often alone, within intensive care environments or other settings. We will share some of the innovative ways in which nurses and others met their foundational moral obligations to patients at the end-of-life, honoring the dignity of patients, and helping families through this stressful time. Christine Grady and Connie UlrichChapter 4. Preparing to Make Difficult Choices: Triage Decision and Crisis Standards of Care a. This chapter will speak to the different models of triage decision-making and the ethics of priority setting and allocation of scarce resources.Christine MitchellChapter 5. The Emotional and Moral Remnants of COVID-19: Burnout, Moral Distress, and Mental Health Concerns a. The pandemic has focused our attention to the mental health concerns of front-line nurses, including their moral distress, burnout, depression, and emotional scars from a sense of exhaustion, tragic choices, and overwhelming circumstances. Christine Grady and Connie UlrichChapter 6. Unintended Consequences: Lack of Essential and Nonessential Patient Care, Furloughs of HCP, and Institutional Financial Lossesa. The COVID-19 pandemic has given rise to unintended consequences of what is considered essential and nonessential patient care. Patients, for example, were delayed in seeking surgical services or other types of specialty care (e.g., cancer care). With the focus on COVID-19 patients, nurses have also been furloughed, affecting their economic livelihood. This chapter will highlight and discuss these concerns. Dr. Peter Buerhaus and colleaguesChapter 7. Lingering and Glaring Health Disparities amidst COVID-19 a. The COVID-19 related illnesses and deaths in minority and socially disadvantaged communities warrants our attention. This chapter will discuss these inequities and the social justice implications for quality and equitable care outcomes. Dr. Nneka SederstromChapter 8. School nurses/pediatric concernsAuthor TBCChapter 9. Global Health Ethics: Nursing Voices from China and Brazil a. This chapter will highlight the voices of nurses in two of the countries most significantly affected by COVID-19: China and Brazil. It is important to learn from both countries and to discuss the similarities and differences in caring for their populations and the role of nurses in these countries. Drs. Ulrich and Grady will provide pre and post comment to the essaysChapter 10. Moving Forward: What Have We Learned? Where do we go from here? [Conclusion] (Opportunities to move forward). Small “words of wisdom” from several nurse leaders (President of ICN, President of Sigma Theta Tau International, Liz Stokes-ANA and others). We ask several national and international nurse leaders to provide us with “words of wisdom” to help us move forward from the pandemic. Drs. Ulrich and Grady will provide commentary on these segments and conclude with their own “words of wisdom” to For each of the chapters, we will ask the authors to include a section on how the lessons learned from COVID-19 might have emerged from prior pandemics and might apply to future pandemics

Book SynopsisThis textbook is a practical, user-friendly and essential guide for doctoral students, their supervisors and advisors and administrators of doctoral programs in nursing and health sciences. Nurses and health scientists have a relatively young tradition of doctoral training, and this means students often come to doctoral studies without a clear understanding of what is required to be successful at this level of education. Supporting students to successful completion of doctoral studies involves a complex fusion of skills, and yet researchers and academics receive little specialist training in this crucial area of teaching and learning. Strong pedagogies around doctoral supervision and writing are essential because in addition to the scientific, research and educative skills required, it is important to be able to establish and maintain enabling professional relationships within which both parties can thrive, and that can withstand the years of critique needed for doctoral work. The authors offer supervisors, advisors, students and administrators practical advice on helping students thrive, and steering them through various challenges that can arise during doctoral candidature. With a focus on nursing and health sciences, the authors take a global approach, recognising the international focus of doctoral training in nursing and health sciences. The authors of this book are experienced supervisors and advisors to doctoral students and together, have well over 100 successful doctoral completions and more than 1000 publications. They draw on a series of interviews and case studies to share their knowledge and experience and provide insights and guidance to inspire and support student progression and ensure students get the most out of their doctoral studies.Table of ContentsChapter 1. What is doctoral training? This chapter will cover the elements and characteristics of a doctoral degree, the roles of supervisor and student, pedagogies of doctoral education, global issues in doctoral education, models of doctoral training, understanding doctoral convention in nursing and health sciences, special considerations for nursing and health sciences.Chapter 2. Approaches to supervisionThis chapter will cover pedagogies of supervision, individual and group supervision models, supervision within communities of practice, personal supervision style, hands on vs hands off supervision, innovative techniques for supervision, strategies to enhance reflexivity for students and supervisors. Chapter 3. Forming and developing the supervision teamThis chapter will cover selecting the supervision panel, identifying complementary skills, getting the skill mix right, understanding responsibilities, getting the best out of the team, developing the team, issues of intellectual property and authorship. Chapter 4. Establishing and maintaining student/supervisory relationshipsThis chapter will cover supervisor/student agreements, ensuring shared expectations, effective communication, recognising and dealing with conflict, managing avoidance, recognising and managing splitting behaviours, having difficult conversations, honouring and nurturing the supervisory/student relationship.Chapter 5. Managing critique and feedbackThis chapter will cover the importance of quality feedback and examine the elements that constitute quality feedback, approaches to feedback, the nature of feedback, supervisor and student factors influencing how feedback is delivered and received, and how to ensure feedback is optimally enabling not disabling.Chapter 6. When students get stuckThis chapter will cover issues around failure to progress, a very common challenge and provide tips to help supervisors and students to recognise camouflaging of failure to progress, and how to enable and support students to re-engage and move forward.Chapter 7. Training, focus on issues for Indigenous students, international students, and some of the global issues influencing doctoral trainingChapter 8. Developing doctoral writingIn this chapter, we will address pedagogies of doctoral writing, tackle the complexities of doctoral writing, present and identify strategies to support students to develop as writers, cover writing for publication, and submitting parts of the thesis as papers.Chapter 9. Preparing for examinationIn this chapter, we will cover selecting examiners, crafting traditional theses, hybrid models, collections of publications, thesis mapping. We will discuss preparing for oral examination as well as the examination of the written document. Chapter 10. Life after the examination,This chapter includes the management of the consequences of the Viva and what to expect from life in the post-doctoral stage.

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.
