Описание:

Part of Greenwood's ongoing Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book provides a broad introduction to the anti-vaccination movement that documents how it has gained momentum in recent years; the quantifiable effects of the movement on society, such as a resurgence of childhood diseases like whooping cough and measles; and the controversies surrounding the movement. It describes the long history of resistance to the medical practice of vaccination; identifies the impacts of decreased vaccination rates on important health concepts, such as herd immunity; and addresses the reasons for resistance to vaccination (as well as the mainstream scientific community's rebuttals to such concerns).

Readers will be better equipped to consider such questions as whether or not parents should be allowed to refuse vaccination for their children and whether or not the government can demand mandatory vaccination before entering public school. With its additional features such as primary source documents, a glossary, and a timeline, the work will supply readers with the information they need to understand and think critically about this timely and important topic as well as serve as a gateway to further study.

Описание: Explores the great potential for nursing involvement in promoting global health.This unique text elucidates the relationship between global nursing and global health, underscoring the significance of nurses’ contributions in furthering the Post-2015 Agenda of the United Nations regarding global health infrastructures, and examining myriad opportunities for nurses to promote the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and foster health and healthy environments worldwide. While past nursing literature has emphasized nursing’s potential involvement and influence in the global arena, this is the first book to identify, validate, and promote nurses’ proactive and multidimensional work in furthering current transnational goals for advancing health on a global scale.The book includes an introduction to global health, clarification of terms and roles, perspectives on education, research, and theory related to global nursing, a history of the partnership between the United Nations and the nursing profession, an in-depth exploration of the 17 SDGs and relevant nursing tasks, as well as several chapters on creating a vision for 2030 and beyond. It is based on recent and emerging developments in the transnational nursing community, and establishes, through the writings of esteemed global health and nursing scholars, a holistic dialogue about opportunities for nurses to expand their roles as change agents and leaders in the cross-cultural and global context. The personal reflections of contributors animate such topics as global health ethics, the role of caring in a sustainable world, creating a shared humanity, cultural humility, and many others.Key Features:Examines, for the first time, nursing’s role in each of the 17 SDGsIntegrates international initiatives delineating nursing’s role in the future of global healthCreates opportunities for nurses to redefine their contributions to global healthIncludes personal reflections to broaden perspectives and invite transnational approaches to professional developmentDistills short, practical, and evidence-based chapters describing global opportunities for nurses in practice, education, and research
