To cut costs and maximize profits, hospitals in the United States and many other countries are outsourcing such tasks as cleaning and food preparation to private contractors. In Cleaning Up, the first book to examine this transformation in the healthcare industry, Dan Zuberi looks at the consequences of outsourcing from two perspectives: its impact on patient safety and its role in increasing socioeconomic inequality. Drawing on years of field research in Vancouver, Canada as well as data from hospitals in the U.S. and Europe, he argues that outsourcing has been disastrous for the cleanliness of hospitals—leading to an increased risk of hospital-acquired infections, a leading cause of severe illness and death—as well as for the effective delivery of other hospital services and the workers themselves.Zuberi's interviews with the low-wage workers who keep hospitals running uncover claims of exposure to near-constant risk of injury and illness. Many report serious concerns about the quality of the work due to understaffing, high turnover, poor training and experience, inadequate cleaning supplies, and on-the-job injuries. Zuberi also presents policy recommendations for improving patient safety by reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infection and ameliorating the work conditions and quality of life of hospital support workers. He makes the case that hospital outsourcing exemplifies the trend towards "low-road" service-sector jobs that threatens to undermine society's social health, as well as the physical health and well-being of patients in health care settings globally.

Описание: In 1981, Doug Stringer was a fitness instructor with his own exercise studio. He knew there was a God, but he lived as if God didn't exist. Tired of his own hypocrisy, disgusted with his life, he sat down in the back room of his studio one night, put his head in his hands, and prayed: "Lord, if You can use someone like me after all I have done to wound Your heart, I make myself available to You." What happened soon afterward started a ministry that reaches out to thousands of lost and hurting people around the world. Mending the Net: Bringing Hope in a Hurting World is the story of Doug's ministry from its humble beginnings until today. Obviously, much else has changed in the world since then. Doug himself has changed, having gone through a battle with stage four cancer. Doug's wife, Lisa, wrote the book God Did Not Do This to Me to share their trials and triumphs through that cancer journey. But what hasn't changed is Doug's undefeatable spirit and love for others, which shine through in his books, his ministry, and everything he touches.

Описание: MAY YOU FIND LOVE IN UNEXPECTED PLACES AND SPARKS OF HOPE IN DARKEST SPACES
Life can hurt.
Sometimes we wonder where God is in the mess of it all, and can't find any light amidst our shadows.
But shadows can't exist without light. The Psalmists often wrote of their pain with raw honesty, yet discovered treasure in the very darkest places. This collection of poetry and short stories is filled with cries of deep sorrow and inexpressible joy, and re-imaginings of events from Scripture which point us to hope, even when we struggle to glimpse light on the horizon.
Liz Carter lives with long-term illness, and writes out of her experience of how a life of pain can also be scattered with gold along the way. She is the author of Catching Contentment: How to be Holy Satisfied(IVP).

Engaging, challenging, beautifully crafted, deeply impactful, disarmingly honest, breathtakingly creative.

Claire Musters, Author of Taking off the Mask
Liz writes beautifully, and Treasure in Dark Places weaves theologically rich poetry with prose which faithfully echoes the tradition of lament with honesty and hope. A gorgeous companion in dark times. Rachael Newham, author of Learning to Breathe
As Christians, it is often suggested that we should be living lives of constant victory. In this collection of inspiring poems and vivid re-tellings of Biblical encounters with Jesus, Liz re-orients our hearts towards our Creator God, the One who can hold our fragile lives at every stage. Buy this for yourself, your church leader, and your friend who is hurting: this exquisite book will remind us all that, as we struggle, God is very near.

Описание: There's nothing exciting about being forced into the fraternity of hurting parents, but once there, the question becomes one of survival - for you, your young adult offspring, your family and the relationships you all share. How do you deal with the issues and heartache that accompany the drama? And if you're a Christian, how do you reconcile your understanding of who God is with the situation in which you find yourself? For most parents, understandably, the question becomes, "How can I get through to my son/daughter?" But the question that really needs to be asked may be, "How can I get a grip on myself so I don't do things that make matters worse?"
This book is a toolkit filled little by little-one tool, one difficulty at a time. With these tools, the Lord Jesus Christ upheld me, firmly but tenderly showed me options that lay before me, and helped me navigate-giving me fresh perspective-in the midst of heart-wrenching challenges. I shudder to think how I might have responded absent His help. Amazingly, often unbeknown to me, at the same time the Lord was helping me, He was wonderfully at work in the lives of our young adult children and our family as a whole.
My toolkit is something I wish I'd never needed, but over time, it has become a treasure for which I am deeply grateful. I humbly share my treasure with you.

Описание: The Hope for Hurting Parents Parent Notebook is a product of the Hope for Hurting Parents ministry (HopeforHurtingParents.com). It was developed to be used by the parents who attend one of their support groups. These groups help moms and dads with broken hearts due to the choices and behaviors of their teen to adult children. The purpose is to help these parents process their pain with others who understand, instead of isolating in guilt and shame. Hope for Hurting Parents strives to come alongside these brokenhearted to give comfort, encouragement and hope so that they can move from surviving to thriving. These groups can include step-parents and grandparents, too.The Parent Notebook explains what to expect in the support group, introduces the authors, provides group guidelines, and tells what others are saying about these faith-based groups. The notebook also contains the content that is discussed in the meetings. The topics are: grief and loss, enabling, guilt, fear, detachment, worry and anxiety, anger, resentment, letting go, expectations, guarding your marriage, guarding your family, powerlessness and control, communication, waiting, surviving the holidays, courageous love, forgiveness, thankfulness, self-care, expectations, and hope. A page for journaling or note-taking is at the end of each session.The intention is for parents to bring their notebook with them each time they go to a meeting. The Appendix has extra material used in some of the sessions. A list of recommended books, websites, and other resources is a huge bonus. The sessions are beneficial to be read and referred to not just during the support group meetings, but also at home.Hope for Hurting Parents support groups are not high content-driven. The focus is on being safe, confidential, loving communities where parents can be real, share their feelings with others who understand, and won't think less of them or give pat answers. This is a place where they can find the comfort, encouragement, and hope they need for what may be a long, difficult journey.

Описание: Help, Bette Answers to Health Questions from Hurting People What do you do when you're sick, but doctors say you're fine? Well, if you're Bette Dowdell, you crank up your "Oh, Yeah " attitude and start researching your way out of the ditch. It's fortunate she likes research, because it took her years to get to the root causes. Along the way, she learned many things, such as: - Most of what we "know" about diet and health is wrong-a huge cause of disease. - If we want to be healthy, we have to take responsibility for our health. There's no way doctors can know what's going on in our bodies every day, all day. Even frequent trips to doctors don't get the results "live in" management does. - Everything affects everything else in health. The problem is never just, say, the thyroid-or the heart, or some other body part. It's about supporting the entire body with the nutrition it needs-which is different from what we're taught. Nowadays, Dowdell shares her learning so others can recover their health, too. In Help, Bette Answers to Health Questions from Hurting People, she talks to everyday people whose health is dragging them down. The questions include: - Thyroid problems - Cholesterol - Acid Reflux - Prostate problems - IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome - Dry eye - Etc.
In America, when people reach the legal drinking age, few have ever received any real education or preparation about how to do so safely. This is like handing a new driver the keys to the car along with their license-without any practice or permit. Safe Drinking Academy fills the information gap to give readers the facts about alcohol, ideally before they decide whether or not to drink.
Despite a legal drinking age of 21, people between the ages of 12 and 20 are responsible for 11 percent of total alcohol consumption in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Parents, teachers, and other caring adults will welcome this opportunity to confront the contradiction of prohibiting young people-who can and will try alcohol-from drinking, rather than educating and monitoring them when they most need it. Readers who begin drinking later in life will also benefit from knowing how to drink in moderation and in the right circumstances.
This helpful guide discusses:
- the history of alcoholic beverages
- how to read beverage labels
- the risks and joys of drinking
- legal issues
- safety tips
- how to set personal limits
In a long human history of making and sharing beer, wine, and spirits, pleasure has always been the goal. Get informed, and enjoy a healthy relationship with alcohol
May You Shine offers spiritual inspiration, comfort in dark times, and support for your wounded soul. Author Tess Hayes shows us all that we are wildly capable of letting our light shine.
