Palliative Care Nursing: Principles And Evidence For Practice
This textbook in palliative care nursing draws together the principles and evidence that underpins practice to support nurses working in specialist palliative care settings and those whose work involves end-of-life care.
The Complexities of Care
In a series of provocative essays, this text rejects the assumption that nursing work is primarily emotional and relational. The contributors argue that the caring discourse in nursing is a dangerous oversimplification that has in fact created many dilemmas within the profession and in the health care system.
Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology
Cancer is a global burden and has been acknowledged as a dedicated sustainable development goal (SDG) by the WHO. Worldwide cancer care in all its aspects reaching from prevention and early detection up to palliative care is still characterized by extensive inequalities in accessibility, availability, acceptability, affordability, and quality of care. This results in the insufficient implementation of Universal Health Coverage in many countries and regions. Low and middle-income countries (LMICs) but also underserved regions and population groups in industrial countries achieve intensified focus since several years regarding knowledge exchange and support to overcome these inequalities. Research in global cancer care gained extended attention but still has limitations regarding comparability, methodology, and data quality. Therefore, the Research Topic “Universal Health Coverage and Global Health in Oncology” will focus on research approaches and results of cancer care implementation and its barriers that can be transferred to other countries.
Palliative Care Nursing
