Critical Perspectives on Technological Innovations in Healthcare
This new complementary volume to Developing and Utilising Digital Technology in Healthcare for Assessment and Monitoring extends well beyond what has been already covered, including AI, Machine Learning and Big Data in health care, data-informed care, tackling health inequalities in cancer care through technological solutions and the policy considerations of digital innovation. This book reflects the increasing influx of technological solutions in varying fields within the context of healthcare, which extend from prevention to early detection, treatment and survivorship. With an increasing number of supportive care needs being unmet, such technological solutions can bridge the gaps in how current care is being delivered. An aspect that previously has not received considerable attention is the cultural competence in healthcare AI and robotics, and a chapter dedicated to this topic offers ideas for developing technologies that are culturally competent. The book offers unique insights into the areas and ways in which these interventions (e.g. taking into consideration cultural aspects) can be incorporated in the care continuum empowering the end-user (healthcare professional and patient). The book draws on the experts' current (and at times ongoing) research on these topics. The structure of the book provides multiple perspectives on the topic and makes it appealing to a multidisciplinary and multi-professional audience, with nurses as a primary target but also including clinicians, researchers, patients, technology experts and students. This approach fills a gap in this field not only by familiarizing the reader with a wide range of technological interventions in relation to their application in clinical practice, but also by emphasizing what the data-driven and need-orientated development of future interventions needs to take into consideration.

Neonatal Hygiene among Breastfeeding Mother
This book focused on understanding how much breastfeeding mothers at Mukono General Hospital know about neonatal hygiene, and how well they actually practice it. Neonatal hygiene refers to all the practices that keep a newborn baby clean and healthy such as washing hands before touching the baby, keeping the umbilical cord clean, proper bathing, and using clean clothes and feeding items.The study aimed to find out: Whether mothers know the right ways to keep their newborns clean and safe from infections. Whether they are applying this knowledge correctly in their daily care routines.It looked at the knowledge (what mothers understand) and practice (what mothers actually do) regarding hygiene for newborns. The research is important because poor hygiene during the first weeks of life can lead to serious infections or even death in newborn babies. By identifying the gaps in knowledge and practice, the study helps health workers and hospital administrators know where to focus their education and support efforts to improve newborn care.
Nurse Burnout
Nurse burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and overwork, commonly seen in high-pressure healthcare environments. It is often characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization (a sense of detachment from patients), and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Staffing shortages, long shifts, emotional demands, lack of support, administrative burden, and limited autonomy fuel burnout in nurses. Nurse burnout is not just a workforce issue-it directly impacts patient care and outcomes. Addressing burnout through systemic changes such as better staffing, supportive leadership, mental health resources, and work-life balance is essential to safeguard both healthcare workers and the patients they serve.

Saving Maxine
In this deeply personal account, a family tells the story of the incredible strength and resilience of Maxine, a vibrant 75-year-old woman struck down by the devastating effects of Guillain-Barr矇 Syndrome (GBS). What began as a sudden, life-altering illness left Maxine on life support, battling seven pneumonias, facing full quadriplegia, and unable to communicate, all while spending an entire year in the ICU. Doctors repeatedly told the family she wouldn't survive and urged them to pull the plug on several occasions. But through it all, the family never left her side. For almost a full year, they sat by her bedside during every waking hour, offering unwavering support and advocacy. They became her voice when she couldn't speak for herself, fighting for her dignity and ensuring that her comfort and care were never compromised. They stood by her through the darkest moments, reminding the world that she was still there, still fighting. The family made the bold decision to move Maxine home against all medical advice, determined to give her the best chance at recovery. In doing so, they not only kept her alive for longer than expected but also witnessed her slowly regain her health, defying the odds and proving that healing could happen at home.

Care Logic in Diabetes Care and Nursing
When reflecting the logic of care, the challenges inherent to healthcare need to be considered: The human body is complex, healthcare is full of unpredictable variables, and care practices have boundaries. While healthcare workers are acting in a commercial and economic environment, they attempt to still maintain holistic care, act according to their own moral position, and keep their own professionalism while dealing with uncertain responsibility. Pei-Yi Liu describes care conflicts and ethical tensions emerging in the context of diabetes care and nursing care settings in Germany. Her analysis connects the theoretical understanding of disease management and its practical implementation.

Repurposed Drugs - Current State and Future Perspectives
Despite remarkable advances in pharmaceutical sciences, traditional and de novo drug discovery and development face significant barriers to obtaining marketing approval, including long timeframes, substantial financial investment, and high failure rates. Thus, a lot of effort is being made to bring out novel approaches to deal with the debilitating challenges facing the global pharmaceutical industry. Drug repurposing (or drug repositioning) represents one of the alternative strategies for traditional drug discovery, in which the process aims to seek new uses for already approved or investigational drugs beyond their original indication. Drug repurposing has been largely preferred owing to superior benefits related to reduced drug discovery timelines and costs. To date, a number of drugs have been successfully repurposed by providing effective solutions to various diseases that are especially hard to manage, making the drug repurposing a growing trend. This book's chapters offer comprehensive topics on drug repurposing and repurposed drugs.
Dosage Forms - Emerging Trends and Prospective Drug-Delivery Systems
Researchers have always been fascinated with creating new materials and composites with novel structures and specialized functional capabilities. In the drug discovery process, approximately 90% of the new chemical entities are water-insoluble or low permeable, and about 40% of the market-approved drugs are poorly water-soluble. Limitations related to solubility, stability, drug resistance, and adverse effects of the developed drugs have dug out the opportunity and encouraged focused research on drug delivery systems at the molecular level as targeted drug delivery systems. Scientific advancements and techniques have developed several drug delivery systems. This book comprises chapters authored by various researchers and edited by experts active in the pharmaceutical research area. All the chapters are complete and united under a common research study. This publication aims to provide a thorough overview of the latest research in drug delivery systems and related issues. It also cracked new possible research paths in drug delivery systems for further novel developments.

During a time when access to healthcare was limited or nonexistent, nurses played a prominent role in the health and well-being of Appalachian communities. Archival materials, reports, journals, personal letters, memoirs, and oral histories provide insight into the nurses' activities, dedication, resilience, and innovation in delivering early healthcare care to rural and isolated Appalachian communities.
Be Aware of That Nursing Home
Find out what really goes on behind the scenes of long-term care facilities in Be Aware of That Nursing Home.Drawing from Richard Danford's unparalleled, hands-on experience and insight into the long-term care system and its impact on consumers and families, this resource serves as an essential guide for those navigating the complexities of choosing nursing home care, emphasizing the importance of dignity, rights, and quality of life. Not only a testament to Richard's lifelong commitment to advocacy, it's also a call to action for systemic change.At a time when nursing home conditions are once again in the media, Be Aware of That Nursing Home offers a valuable perspective not commonly available to potential nursing home consumers and family members. What is available is slick, often misleading marketing created by an industry reaping massive profits off taxpayer dollars. Information attempting to influence policymakers is mostly provided by well-meaning academics, data experts, or attorneys who are one step removed from personally witnessing the everyday realities of nursing home environments. Those efforts are repeatedly squelched by the well-financed, powerful lobbyists of the long-term care industry. Otherwise, the tragic, unacceptable conditions in far too many nursing homes would never have happened.Be Aware That Nursing Home informs consumers and families as to how today's nursing homes came about, what tragedies occur daily, and what consumers need to know to protect themselves when choosing a facility. Not only is this information crucial for consumers and families, but it's also important for the underappreciated, underpaid professionals attempting to serve in dysfunctional and often life-threatening environments.

How Can Nurses Survive Bullying Environments?
The Hollow Theory examines the emergence of toxicity in the workplaces of nurses. This book explores the origins of bullying and incivility as the profession of nursing emerges as a vulnerable one for insecure bullies to prey upon the focused and productive employee in order to elevate their own self-perceived personal and professional deficits. Toxic workplaces are maintained to control others and negatively impact affected persons who do not adapt to the dysfunction and choose to be true to themselves both personally and professionally. Healthy workplaces exist when healthy people take back control of the workplace by alleviating toxic norms (e.g., bullying, rudeness, lying, etc.). This book will help nurse leaders to support impacted nurses.
