A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2014! 2014 winner of the
American Association for the History of Nursing's Mary M. Roberts
Award for Exemplary Historical Research and Writing! The Routledge
Handbook on the Global History of Nursing brings together leading
scholars and scholarship to capture the state of the art and
science of nursing history, as a generation of researchers turn to
the history of nursing with new paradigms and methodological tools.
Inviting readers to consider new understandings of the historical
work and worth of nursing in a larger global context, this
ground-breaking volume illuminates how research into the history of
nursing moves us away from a reductionist focus on diseases and
treatments and towards more inclusive ideas about the experiences
of illnesses on individuals, families, communities, voluntary
organizations, and states at the bedside and across the globe. An
extended introduction by the editors provides an overview and
analyzes the key themes involved in the transmission of ideas about
the care of the sick. Organized into four parts, and addressing
nursing around the globe, it covers: New directions in the history
of nursing; New methodological approaches; The politics of nursing
knowledge; Nursing and its relationship to social practice.
Exploring themes of people, practice, politics and places, this
cutting edge volume brings together the best of nursing history
scholarship, and is a vital reference for all researchers in the
field, and is also relevant to those studying on nursing history
and health policy courses.
Modern health care cannot exist without professional nurses.
Throughout the twentieth century, there was seldom a sustained
period when the supply of nurses was equal to demand. Whether the
complaint was too many or too few, there has been little
satisfaction with the number of nurses working at any point of time
since the inception of American professional nursing. Nursing the
Nation offers a historical analysis of the relationship between the
development of nurse employment arrangements with patients and
institutions and the appearance of nurse shortages from 1890-1950.
The response to nursing supply and demand problems by health care
institutions and policy making organizations failed to address
nurse workforce issues adequately, and this failure resulted in, at
times, profound and lengthy nurse shortages. Nurses also lost the
ability to control their own destiny within health care
institutions while nevertheless establishing themselves as the most
critical part of health care provision today.
