Nursing And Humanities

The humanities have long been recognized as having a place in nursing knowledge, and have been used in education, theory, and research by nurses. However, the place of humanities in nursing has always remained ambiguous. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between humanities and nursing. The book starts with a survey of the history of humanities in nursing, in comparison with medical humanities and in the context of the emergence of interdisciplinary health humanities. There is a description of applications of humanities within nursing. A central section offers an argument for placing the humanities firmly within a mixed model of nursing knowledge that is based upon embodied cognition. Final chapters explore these ideas through a series of essays on topics of humanities as a form of intervention, prose and poetry in relation to nursing, and applications of the Buddhist concept of interdependence. Nursing and Humanities is intended primarily for nurse academics and graduate students, who have an interest in nursing theory, applications of arts and humanities in education, and qualitative research approaches. It will also interest practicing nurses who are looking for an account of nursing that combines the technical and the human.

The volumes in this popular series provide nurse educators with material to help them plan, conduct, and evaluate their instructional goals and accomplishments. The series addresses a broad spectrum of teaching situations, classroom settings, and clinical instruction-supervision. The authors give a general introduction to literature, television, film, and fine arts along with advantages and disadvantages of using each in nursing. They then describe selected nursing concepts, and provide specific examples of works of art that can be used to illustrate each. The book is designed so that nurse educators can integrate this material into standard nursing courses on all levels of nursing education, including staff development.

This is the first manifesto for Health Humanities worldwide. It sets out the context for this emergent and innovative field which extends beyond Medical Humanities to advance the inclusion and impact of the arts and humanities in healthcare, health and well-being.

The health humanities are widely understood as a way to cultivate perspective, compassion, empathy, professional identity, and self-reflection among health professional students. This innovative book links humanities themes, social science domains, and clinical practice to invite self-discovery and recognition of universal human experiences. Integrating Health Humanities, Social Science, and Clinical Care introduces critical topics that rarely receive sufficient attention in health professions education, such as cultivating resilience, witnessing suffering, overcoming unconscious bias, working with uncertainty, understanding professional and personal roles, and recognizing interdependence. The chapters encourage active engagement with a range of literary and artistic artefacts and guide the reader to question and explore the clinical skills that might be necessary to navigate clinical scenarios. Accompanied by a range of pedagogical features including writing activities, discussion prompts, and tips for leading a health humanities seminar, this unique and accessible text is suitable for those studying the health professions, on both clinical and pre-clinical pathways.

We realised that this book will create a lot of excitement, and challenge, joy, and happiness among all of us. Challenging consensus is never easy. This is because the system will try to maintain the status quo by any means necessary in any situation, of any type. After years of experience in the field of Management, Nursing, and Research we feel the need to share our knowledge, analysis, and conclusions. We hope it ignites a discussion that could lead to major cultural changes and shopping cart overhauls. The beneficiaries will be all of us – ourselves, our students, our loved ones, and society at large – living healthier and longer. Management research is challenging, exciting, engaging, and rewarding. The main idea of editing/writing this book is to help students from different fields and prepare and motivate them for more research. The purpose of writing this book was to make research more interesting for all students in different fields. It differs in approach and content from all other interdisciplinary textbooks. It will contain the work of all aspiring students of undergraduate, Postgraduate, and doctoral Research (M.Phil. and Ph.D.). It will help the research scholars to publish their original research work in an ISBN book. Futuristic Research and Innovation in Nursing, Humanities, and Management provides information to all students about research findings and provides new information to develop new foundations for the research profession.
