For many women around the globe, health has become the central intersection of the personal and the political; women's bodies are the arena for policy debates about population, poverty, reproduction, and morality. Women's Global Health: Norms and State Policies is a comprehensive assessment of health for women around the globe that will inform debates underway in a wide range of disciplines. These fields include public health, most obviously, but also sociology, anthropology and other disciplines. This book will advance the interdisciplinary fields of ethics, women's studies, and international studies. It answers several questions with implications for knowledge in the preceding fields, along with relevance to policy. Some of these complex questions include: How do the laws and policies of a nation-state affect women's health? Is the state invested in these issues because women are seen to be bearers and nurturers of future citizens? Or are there other concerns such as economic development, human welfare, or religious ideology that shape this engagement? This book also examines the current and historical responsibilities of the state in addressing women's health issues, and how these responsibilities can they be measured and improved upon. Finally, the book looks at how to best approach the underlying ethical issues in practical and useful ways for women around the globe.

Realising Participation - Elderly People as Active Users of Health and Social Care (Paperback): Kathryn Roberts, Tom Chapman Realising Participation - Elderly People as Active Users of Health and Social Care (Paperback)
Kathryn Roberts, Tom Chapman
R711 Discovery Miles 7 110 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This title was first published in 2001: During the last twenty years government rhetoric in the UK has increasingly advocated that statutory health and social care services should regard and treat recipients as 'consumers' in the same way as companies and organizations in the private sector. This involves a considerable cultural change on the part of both service providers and their clients, and this timely study explores the extent to which such a cultural change is actually taking place in British society. The utilization of welfare services by a sample of people aged 70 and above on discharge from inpatient care and in a short period afterwards is examined as a critical testbed for key components of consumerism, including participation, representation, access, choice, information and redress. The book explores not only the extent to which opportunities are being provided for users to play an active role in their care, but also their degree of willingness to assume such a role.

Dementia is a mine-field of experiences and discoveries and this book relates the heart-rending journey of a daughter and her mother to the end of a frustrating and often confusing disease. Living with dementia requires a whole new set of rules and Roberts explains as she goes what is happening both from her experiences as well as from her mother's view point. The Long Good-bye puts the progression of the disease out front and allows the reader to see how the trip could have been a little smoother. Roberts offers a number of ways to prepare for the end as well as suggestions for the caregiver from the onset to choosing a facility, to making the end easier.
