Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | This publication provides a practical guide to the introduction of changes to strengthen the role and status of nurses in Europe. Emphasis is placed on changes that lead to improved patient care in line with the principles of health for all. It aims to help readers think through weaknesses in health care, understand how to introduce change and take the appropriate action, whether to improve practices on a hospital ward or to change the way nurses are trained. It opens with an overview of problems faced by the nursing profession at a time when dramatic changes in Europe call for expanded functions and responsibilities. Three conditions that influence the development of nursing in Europe are identified as a lack of power to influence decisions about health care, the low status and poor pay of a female-dominated profession and the strong medical bias in European health systems. Chapter 2 considers how nursing practice can be changed. Adopting a step-by-step approach, it helps readers think through the process of change, analyse situations, understand sources of resistance and avoid common pitfalls. Chapter 3 shows how a well designed regulatory system can work as an important strategy in efforts to create a well informed, responsible profession to provide effective services. The remaining chapters cover eight stages in the review and reorientation of curricula for nursing education, and consider ways to develop leadership qualities in nurse teachers and managers, and during post-basic nursing education. viii, 123 p. |
