Delivers a comprehensive toolbox for understanding race and racism
at structural, institutional, and individual levelsThis nursing
handbook introduces and defines key terms about race and racism for
nurses, nursing students, and nurse educators. It addresses how
race and racism act as structural and core social determinants of
health and propel health inequities. It moves beyond a focus on
multicultural approaches for understanding inequity toward a
recognition of the broader impact that both systemic and structural
racism have had on inequality in health and life opportunities.
Through a social justice lens, the book underscores how nurses, as
frontline health professionals, need to understand racism as a
factor behind these inequities and its significance to their
working environment and nursing practice. In concise chapters with
brief paragraphs and bulleted information, this practical handbook
offers strategies for how to productively engage in a dialogue
about race and racism. It considers the history of racism in the
United States and then breaks down how it operates at structural,
institutional, and individual levels. Case studies illustrate such
concepts as microaggressions, implicit bias, power, privilege, and
intersectionality in order to foster understanding and provide
opportunities for both self-reflection and collective conversation.
Key Features: Delivers clear and easy-to-read content in concise,
bulleted format Empowers nurses to initiate conversations about
race and racism in the workplace and classroom with confidence and
ease Provides an historical context for understanding how racism
contributes to inequities in health and economic opportunities
Illustrates concepts with case studies and reflection questions
Features "Fast Facts" boxes that highlight essential information at
a glance Promotes the concepts of antiracism, diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging

O'Brien describes the coping strategies that long-term survivors
of HIV employ to promote positive quality of life. She also
explores the impact of the virus on family members, friends, and
caregivers; their strategies for dealing with HIV are identified as
well.
This book has two unique features. First, the creative coping
strategies developed to deal with HIV are explored primarily
through the words of those living and/or working with the virus.
O'Brien utilized more than 350 hours of tape-recorded interviews to
glean the insightful and poignant anecdotes which describe their
walk with HIV. Second, the HIV-positive individuals described are
long-term survivors of the virus. Although that population consists
primarily of gay men, the case is made that they are the first
group of people with HIV to experience long-term survival; thus,
their coping strategies and those of the people close to them
provide a model for others moving into the survivor category. An
important resource for nurses, social workers, chaplains, others in
fields working with HIV/AIDs patients, and their families and
friends.
This NIH-supported study of HIV's physical and psychosocial
impacts offers both practical and inspiring accounts of how
individuals living with HIV respond and cope with the disease and
its progressive stages and impacts. The longitudinal approach of
the research and the rich resources offered by extensive interviews
with the persons with HIV and those closest to them avail the
reader of insights and responses that should improve others' coping
and caring abilities.
The author's professional experience and extensive research
informs the work throughout and fashions a remarkable and moving
synthesis of the themes that will help those living with AIDS as
well as all who relate to them. From the first awareness of
infection to coping with bereavement, this book honestly,
sensitively, and substantively addresses the essential concerns
that any and all who are touched by the HIV pandemic must reflect
on.
The twenty-two contributors to this volume find a common bond in
their diversity, based on their desire to explore ways that single
women can live more fully in a society that places such great
emphasis on marriage and narrowly defines family as spouse and
children. The contributors, ranging in age from 20 to 70, represent
numerous vocations and spiritual traditions. Issues of prejudice,
poverty, low self-esteem, fear, loneliness, and rage surface as
single women tell their stories. Working through difficulties, many
found great fulfillment in aloneness and reached significant
literary and professional achievements based on strengths gained
from successfully overcoming feelings of worthlessness. More than a
few women found great sources of strength in deep personal and
religious convictions.
