Spanish Flu
The 1918 outbreak of the H1N1 strain of influenza, popularly known as the Spanish flu, killed more people worldwide than World War I, which ended the same year. It infected nearly one-third of the world's population and killed ten percent of those it struck. In its wake, schools and businesses closed, hospitals became overwhelmed, and the sick spilled out into makeshift care centers in public spaces.

Reflective Practice, Third Edition
A nurse's work is multifaceted, medically complex, technically precise, and physically demanding. But nursing-the act of caring-is also social, emotional, impactful, and personal. Because nursing education programs prioritize the importance of the technical and physical aspects of nursing, that is what they teach. This leaves practicing nurses poorly equipped to understand the science of caring and unprepared for the constant stream of emotional and psychological stressors that come with this profoundly important work. The unintended consequences of this omission include burnout, toxic work environments, and exodus from the profession. In this highly anticipated and particularly timely third edition of Reflective Practice, authors Sara Horton-Deutsch and Gwen Sherwood invite readers to reflect, recalibrate, reimagine, rethink, and reframe the work of nursing care and their various roles and relationships within it. This book focuses first on the individual, then practice settings, and finally systems and communities while providing supporting theoretical frameworks, practical applications, and opportunities for personal and shared reflection along the way. Reflective Practice guides nurses to emotional and psychological fulfillment in all aspects of care.

At the Coalface
A heart-warming story of a woman who devoted her life to helping others. This is the memoir of Joan, who started nursing in the 1940s and whose experiences took her into the Yorkshire mining pits and through the tumult of the 1984-85 miners' strike. Joan Hart always knew what she wanted to do with her life. Born in South Yorkshire in 1932, she started her nursing training when she was 16, the youngest age girls could do so at the time. She continued working after she married and her work took her to London and Doncaster, caring for children and miners. When she took a job as a pit nurse in Doncaster in 1974, she found that in order to be accepted by the men under her care, she would have to become one of them. Most of the time rejecting a traditional nurse's uniform and donning a baggy miner's suit, pit boots, a hardhat and a headlamp, Joan resolved always to go down to injured miners and bring them out of the pit herself. Over 15 years Joan grew to know the miners not only as a nurse, but as a confidante and friend. She tended to injured miners underground, rescued men trapped in the pits, and provided support for them and their families during the bitter miners' strike which stretched from March 1984 to 1985. Moving and uplifting, this is a story of one woman's life, marriage and work; it is guaranteed to make readers laugh, cry, and smile.
The Health Condition of the Person with Colorectal Cancer Pathology
The oncologic disease and/or the therapeutic pathway imposes changes in the dimension of health condition to its patients.

In the global context, colorectal cancer is among the most common oncological processes, especially in males and still has a high mortality rate. However, advances in diagnosis and treatment allow people with this disease to live longer and with better quality of life. Based on these assumptions, we conducted a study aimed at describing the health condition of clients with colorectal cancer at the beginning of the therapeutic pathway, using a descriptive exploratory methodological approach in a quantitative paradigm.

The Reproduction of Inequality
An important analysis of the difference class makes in reproductive health choices Can you run a marathon, drink coffee, eat fish, or fly on a plane while pregnant? Such questions are just the tip of the iceberg for how most pregnant women's bodies are managed, surveilled, and scrutinized during pregnancy. The Reproduction of Inequality examines the intense social pressure that expectant and new mothers face when it comes to their health and body-care choices. Drawing on interviews with dozens of pregnant women and new mothers from poor, middle-class, and mixed-class backgrounds, Katherine Mason paints a vivid picture of the immense weight of expectation that comes with the early stages of motherhood. The women in Mason's study universally sought to give their children a healthy start in life; however, their chosen approaches varied based on their socio-economic class. Whereas middle-class mothers attempted a complete lifestyle change and absolute devotion to the achievement and maintenance of "the healthy pregnant body," poorer women made strategic choices about which health goals to prioritize on a limited budget, lacking the economic and cultural capital required to speak and perfectly adhere to the language of "good health." The unfortunate result is that middle-class mothers are more likely to be seen by others and by themselves as "good" parents, whereas the efforts of working-class mothers are often misread as displaying inadequate concern about their health and that of their child. This in turn contributes to longstanding stereotypes about poor families and communities, and limits their children's chances for upward mobility. The Reproduction of Inequality is a compelling analysis of the impact of class on new mothers' approaches to health and wellness, and a sobering examination of how inequality shapes mothers' efforts to maximize their own health and that of their children.

The Innovation Handbook
The global healthcare ecosystem is in chaos, caught in the convergence of pandemic-induced disruption, residual inequities, burnout, and turnover. Nurse leaders can either succumb to the churn or spot-and seize-a rare opportunity for true transfor-mation. They must thoughtfully consider all aspects of their traditional roles and tack-le trigger topics such as staffing, schedul-ing, value-based care, outcome tracking, and more. Informed, empowered nurses can re-envision roles, integrate technolo-gies, and develop new models to deliver the highest level of patient care. The Innovation Handbook is a pragmatic guide and toolkit that seeks to enlighten nurse leaders as they evolve through the current crisis. Author Bonnie Clipper explains concepts and equips nurses with a knowledge foundation that enhances their innovation skill set, spurs ideas and creativity, and challenges them to think differently and apply new concepts. On the cusp of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a better future for nursing and healthcare, this book gives nurses the tools to meet the moment!
The Reproduction of Inequality
An important analysis of the difference class makes in reproductive health choices Can you run a marathon, drink coffee, eat fish, or fly on a plane while pregnant? Such questions are just the tip of the iceberg for how most pregnant women's bodies are managed, surveilled, and scrutinized during pregnancy. The Reproduction of Inequality examines the intense social pressure that expectant and new mothers face when it comes to their health and body-care choices. Drawing on interviews with dozens of pregnant women and new mothers from poor, middle-class, and mixed-class backgrounds, Katherine Mason paints a vivid picture of the immense weight of expectation that comes with the early stages of motherhood. The women in Mason's study universally sought to give their children a healthy start in life; however, their chosen approaches varied based on their socio-economic class. Whereas middle-class mothers attempted a complete lifestyle change and absolute devotion to the achievement and maintenance of "the healthy pregnant body," poorer women made strategic choices about which health goals to prioritize on a limited budget, lacking the economic and cultural capital required to speak and perfectly adhere to the language of "good health." The unfortunate result is that middle-class mothers are more likely to be seen by others and by themselves as "good" parents, whereas the efforts of working-class mothers are often misread as displaying inadequate concern about their health and that of their child. This in turn contributes to longstanding stereotypes about poor families and communities, and limits their children's chances for upward mobility. The Reproduction of Inequality is a compelling analysis of the impact of class on new mothers' approaches to health and wellness, and a sobering examination of how inequality shapes mothers' efforts to maximize their own health and that of their children.
The role of nursing in prenatal care
Prenatal care is an assistance aimed at pregnant women during pregnancy, which aims to clarify doubts and guide them, to avoid possible problems that may occur with them and the fetus. It is the pregnant woman's right to be oriented, to receive the proper information and support, thus making her feel calmer during pregnancy. The nurse must be closely linked to patient care, in a holistic way, and it is of utmost importance the assistance and monitoring of nurses in prenatal care, through the use of technical and scientific knowledge. The research aims to demonstrate the role of nurses in prenatal care, according to the opinion of pregnant women who do this monitoring in the Family Health Program - PSF I Andrezina Severina de Rezende in Jo瓊o Pinheiro-MG. To obtain this information, questionnaires were applied to pregnant women and the head nurse of the health unit. This study was conducted qualitatively, with involvement between the researcher and the respondents, presenting the necessary changes to improve prenatal care provided by nurses.

A Bold Profession
In rural South African clinics, Black nurses played critical roles. Charged with administering valuable and life-saving health care measures despite a lack of equipment and personnel, these nurses had to navigate the intersections of traditional African healing practices, changing gender relations, and increasing educational and economic opportunities for South Africa's Black middle class between the 1960s and 1980s. Leslie Anne Hadfield compellingly demonstrates how these women were able to successfully carve out their own professional space and reshape notions of health and healing in the Eastern Cape. Bringing forth the stories of these nurses in their own voices, A Bold Profession is an homage to their dedication to the well-being of their communities. Hadfield sheds light on the struggles of balancing commitment to career and family lives during an oppressive apartheid. The volume fills an important gap for scholars studying the history of women, nursing, and health care in South Africa, illuminating the humanity of health care workers.

Beyond Burnout, Second Edition
Healthcare professions typically attract those who give deeply of themselves to make a positive difference in others' lives. But that giving can come at a significant price: burnout. While the healthcare vocation offers myriad options in work settings and career paths, it can also involve tremendous amounts of stress because of long shifts, mental and physical exhaustion, patient challenges, and regulatory changes. When stress and fatigue overtake a healthcare provider's ability to adequately cope with physically and emotionally taxing circumstances, burnout is often the result, potentially leading to compromises in quality and patient safety. Since the publication of the first edition of this book, the COVID-19 pandemic has only added dramatically to nurses' and other healthcare providers' stress, exacerbating existing problems with strained resources and labor shortages. In Beyond Burnout, Second Edition, author Suzanne Waddill-Goad adds new strategies and up-to-date, data-driven information for building hardiness and resilience so that nurses and other healthcare workers can successfully navigate their increasingly challenging environment while reducing stress and preventing burnout.

A supervision model
The book presents a personal model of supervision developed by the author and based on her long experience as supervisor and university teacher in Sweden and in continental Europe. Working models by the author and other supervisors, and appreciated in supervision groups, are described in detail. Several quotes are given from supervisees within a range of activities. The book may be used of many professionals within various supervision activities: newcomers and students in supervision training will learn how a supervision model can be formed and developed. Those with more experience as a supervisor may be inspired to consciously reflect on their own style and get new clues on how to work in a different way. Supervisees may also benefit by taking part in experiences of others. Managers budgeting supervision may find useful information about how supervision can be perceived and experienced by the supervised. Procurers can also gain broader knowledge and take part in the experiences and expectations the supervised have of supervision and of the supervisor. Lilja Cajvert: "Through continuous reflection on experiences, a model has emerged. There is a meaning in what I do, a common thread, a thought, a theoretical idea. Supervision is a complex professional practice and too responsible, demanding and lonely work to be practiced without reflection and awareness of what you are doing, why and for what purpose". Lilja Cajvert is senior lecturer in social work, previously at Gothenburg University, Sweden. She is a social worker, licensed psychotherapist, supervisor and author. She has a long experience as teacher and supervisor for professionals within various occupations of care, social work and school. She is also working internationally as supervisor and lecturer.
