An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing
as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the
decades after World War II. Nurses represent the largest segment of
the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time
with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr.
Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken
place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth
century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher
education policies shaped education within health professions after
World War II. Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to
construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related
biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis
for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor
into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the
application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient
outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics
involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s
future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers
have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care
delivery.Â

Since the 1950s, the American pharmaceutical industry has been
heavily criticized for its profit levels, the high cost of
prescription drugs, drug safety problems, and more, yet it has,
together with the medical profession, staunchly and successfully
opposed regulation. "Pills, Power, and Policy" offers a lucid
history of how the American drug industry and key sectors of the
medical profession came to be allies against pharmaceutical reform.
It details the political strategies they have used to influence
public opinion, shape legislative reform, and define the regulatory
environment of prescription drugs. Untangling the complex
relationships between drug companies, physicians, and academic
researchers, the book provides essential historical context for
understanding how corporate interests came to dominate American
health care policy after World War II.
This is a complete guide to supporting personal, social and
emotional development in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS),
promoting a holistic approach and sharing good practice. "Personal,
Social and Emotional Development" introduces this area of the Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to trainee and qualified early years
professionals. The personal, social and emotional development of
children aged between 0-5 years is introduced within the context of
the EYFS. A balanced approach to the Early Learning Goals is
encouraged ensuring that key principles of good early years
practice are maintained and developed, and the holistic development
of the child is promoted. This user-friendly guide will support
early years professionals to: reflect on current practice and
develop skills; evaluate the implications of research for early
years practice and provision; promote interdisciplinary teamwork
between those who work with and support young children; meet the
diverse needs of children at different developmental stages and
ages; and, support children as they move within and beyond the
EYFS. This series introduces each of the six areas of the Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS): Personal, Social and Emotional
Development; Language, Literacy and Communication; Problem Solving,
Reasoning and Numeracy; Knowledge and Understanding of the World;
Creative Development; and, Physical Development. Each book delivers
accessible yet rigorous support for practitioners, whether training
or qualified, in developing their professional understanding and
practice in each of these Early Learning Goals. Whilst considering
each area in turn, the aim throughout the series is to promote the
holistic development of the child. Each volume includes: an
introduction to the key area; consideration of the development of
children in the key area from birth to 3 years; 3 to 5 years; and
into 5 to 7 years; consideration of the holistic development of the
child and the impact of that development on the key area being
discussed; research evidence to support practice; practical
examples of good practice; discussions on leadership in the key
area; and, support in the development of pedagogical skills and
reflective professional practice. In line with the aims of the
EYFS, this series will help you in meeting the challenges that come
with supporting the different needs of children, working in
multi-professional partnerships, balancing the different areas of
development, and supporting transitions within and beyond the EYFS.
