This text is designed specifically for nurses and nursing students
who have an interest in global health as a specialty, regardless of
experience or education level. It reflects both the unique
contributions of the nursing profession, and of other disciplines,
which is in keeping with the Editors' perspective on how to bring
about lasting change. The text views global health through a
nursing lens, but maintains this awareness and appreciation of
interprofessionalism throughout. The Editors and Contributors have
firsthand experience of the complex dynamics in achieving global
health, and bring a wealth of knowledge to this important field,
and one that has grown as a course and specialty. The text depicts
the worldwide expansion of nursing partnerships between
resource-rich and resource-limited countries, and discusses the
challenges, obstacles, and provides cases and guidance on how to
achieve global health. It will appeal to all nurses, from the
student nurse embarking on a global health experience, to the more
experienced global health nurse who is offering professional
nursing expertise around the world. The text responds to a recent
WHO mandate seeking the input of nurses and midwives as part of an
interprofessional team of key strategists for facilitating global
health. The Lancet Report is also an important document used
throughout the text, and an interview with Dr. Julio Frenk, author
of that report, is included. Social, political, cultural, economic
and environmental factors-including climate change--are integrated
into determinants of global health. The text covers the foundations
of global health, including the emerging concept of climate
justice, the ethical context of global health, and the importance
of interprofessional education. It addresses key issues of global
health with a focus on poor and vulnerable individuals-particularly
women and children-and those living in areas of conflict. In
addition to describing notable accomplishments toward achieving
global health, the book focuses on the need for increasing access
to primary care, improving clinical practice through expanded
education, and engaging interdisciplinary researchers in discovery
of viable solutions. The book includes the perspectives of nurses
and colleagues from other disciplines in both resource-rich and
resource limited countries. The text also includes photographs and
critical thinking questions. Reference lists and appendices provide
resources for additional study, and PowerPoint slides and a test
bank for instructors accompany the text. Key Features: Case studies
depict real-world experiences Presents first-hand knowledge of
global health dynamics, challenges, and opportunities Provides a
wealth of information from multiple perspectives Authored by
contributors across a variety of clinical and academic roles who
are experienced in global health nursing and global health Includes
chapters written by nurses from both resource-limited and
resource-rich countries
