Tóm tắt : | The World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe has had a very strong programme in nursing for many years because it believes that only well trained community nurses can really be the first line of defence of the primary health care system. The model that WHO foresees is the one that emerged in 1988 from WHO’s First European Conference on Nursing in Vienna, by which a nurse is responsible for providing a broad community-based service, including lifestyle counselling, diagnosis of health problems and home care for sick, frail and elderly people, in addition to the important nursing function in the hospital sector. In spite of intensive work since the Conference, nurses are still far from that situation in many Member States. There is an urgent need for countries thoroughly to revise their policies, infrastructures and training programmes for nursing to make them compatible with the WHO models. The nursing and midwifery programme in the Regional Office is working hard to attain these objectives, and the first requirement is an understanding of the current situation. This will provide a sound foundation for new initiatives and indicate the urgent needs for reform. This book, the first of its kind, gives a thorough overview of the current state of nursing and midwifery in Europe, and contains a wealth of extremely useful information for nurses, their professional organizations, ministries of health, ministries of education and other bodies that are interested in promoting better health and improving health services in the European Region. xiv, 278 p. |
