The traditional approach to cancer is that the patient must view
cancer as the enemy and engage in a war to vanquish that enemy. Ann
Wax, RN, argues that this approach is incorrect and invariably
leads to pain, self doubt, and depression. Instead, she argues that
one must find calm and inner-peace first, in order to promote
healing.
The average life expectancy of a male born on the Pine Ridge
reservation in South Dakota today is 40 years old-the lowest life
expectancy of all peoples not only in the U.S. but also in the
entire Western Hemisphere. Written by and for nurses, this is the
first text to focus exclusively on American Indian health and
nursing. It addresses the profound disparities in policy, health
care law, and health outcomes that affect American Indians, and
describes how these disparities, bound into the cultural,
environmental, historical, and geopolitical fabric of American
Indian society, are responsible for the marked lack of wellbeing of
American Indians. American Indian nurse authors, natives of nine
unique American Indian cultures, address the four domains of
health-physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional--within each
region to underscore the many stunning disparities of opportunity
for health and wellbeing within the American Indian culture as
opposed to those of ""Anglo"" culture. In an era of cultural
competency, these expert nurse authors bring awareness about what
is perhaps the least understood minority population in the U.S. The
text covers the history of American Indians with a focus on the
drastic changes that occurred following European contact. Included
are relevant journal articles, historical reports, interviews with
tribal health officials, and case studies. The book addresses
issues surrounding American Indian nursing and nursing education,
and health care within nine unique American Indian cultural
populations. Also discussed are the health care needs of American
Indians living in urban areas. Additionally, the book examines the
future of American Indian Nursing in regard to the Affordable Care
Act. Key Features: Focuses exclusively on American Indian health

American Indian nurses Covers four domains of health: physical,
mental, spiritual and emotional Highlights nine specific cultural
areas of Indian country, each with its own unique history and
context Includes chapter objectives, end-of-chapter review

* Skills-based: most books on burnout or compassion fatigue are
largely signs, symptoms, and "self-care". This book defines
concrete, acquirable skills. There is significant clamoring in the
field for "what we do about it." * Evidence-Informed: The guidance
offered in this book derives from an evidence-base. *
Trauma-Informed: The foundation for trauma-informed treatment is
the emotion regulation skills of the provider. The treatment
professional must be emotionally regulated to effectively implement
any trauma treatment--and a commitment to care for oneself can keep
professionals in the field for a career.
