Community Nursing and Primary Healthcare in Twentieth-Century Britain
Author: Helen M. Sweet
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135911975
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This book takes a fresh look at community nursing history in Great Britain, examining the essentially generalist and low profile, domiciliary end of the professional nursing spectrum throughout the twentieth century. It charts the most significant changes affecting the nurse’s work on the district including compulsory registration for general nursing, changes in organization, training, conditions of service, and workload. A strong oral history component provides a unique insight into the professional images of district nursing and the complexities of inter- and intra-professional relationships as well as into the changing day-to-day working experiences of the district nurse at ‘grass-roots’ level. Use of oral history and records of individual nurses attempts to rectify the tendency of nursing history to view nurses as if they were a homogenous group of professionals, thereby recognizing the different experiences of nurses in different regions and environments. The book also considers the degree of influence of medically related technologies and of developments in drugs, materials, communications, and transport on the professional development of district nursing. The work addresses issues of gender relationships central to a nursing profession largely composed of women (throughout much of the period) working alongside a largely male-dominated medical profession.

Community Public Health in Policy and Practice E-Book
Author: Sarah Cowley
Publisher: Elsevier Health Sciences
ISBN: 0702037451
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. Since the first edition of this book was published, there has been considerable change across public health, health visiting and community nursing. The positive emphasis on developing and describing all services in relation to their purpose and client/user group is reflected in this second, emphasizing multi-disciplinarity and service focus rather than individual professions, whilst retaining the essential emphasis on policy and practice. Familiar occupational titles, such as health visitor, community development worker, midwife or nurse are still used within the chapters, recognizing the continued division of labour and major contributions to public health made by specific grass roots occupations. This second edition has been completely reorganised, expanded and updated to keep up with the rapid progress across the field of community public health. ‘Key issues' boxes identify major topics within each chapter Discussion questions stimulate debate Boxes present information in a reader friendly, memorable format Each chapter provides extensive research, conceptual critique, information about sources, and resources for further information. Seven totally new chapters on Partnership Working; Parenting and Family Support; Complex Community-based Initiatives; Leadership through Alongsideness; Quality in a Public Health Service and Immunization Four chapters completely rewritten: Health Needs Assessments; Collaborating for Health; Breastfeeding and Public Health; Safeguarding Children All remaining chapters have been substantially updated.

Wartime Style
Author: Lora Ann Sigler
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476687188
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
This work is a comparative study of the three "great" American wars of the 20th century: World War I, World War II and Vietnam. The book explores several aspects of American popular culture, like fashion, film and societal mores. While a number of books have covered fashion during individual wars, this is the first study to compare several major conflicts, drawing some conclusions regarding the lasting influences of wardrobe over an entire century. This book provides short background information for each war, briefly covering earlier conflicts that shaped the hostilities of the 20th century. Although the emphasis is on women's clothing, participation and service, men are not ignored. Their fashions not only speak to the times, but the enormity of their sacrifices.

Medical Records for the South Wales Coalfield, C.1890-1948
Author: Anne Borsay
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The vast archives of the South Wales Coalfield Collection are a unique asset for researchers and an especially useful tool for medical historians. Until now the medical records contained within the collection have been prohibitively difficult to locate, but Anne Borsay and Sara Brady here present a guide to the collection that highlights all items of medical significance. In addition to helping researchers find their way through the collection, Borsay and Brady establish the historical context for the records by exploring the ways that new legislation, scientific developments, changes in health care management, and changing attitudes to the environment are reflected in the records.
