Psychology for Student Nurses (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Jessie WilliamsOriginally published in 1954 and as a second edition in 1957, this book provides a survey of the main psychological principles necessary to nurses in their work. As well as being a textbook for nurses in training, it was written in such a way as to be of value to qualified nurses as well. The author drew widely on her experience as psychologist in London Teaching Hospitals including Guys, Great Ormond Street and University College Hospital, and as a lecturer to nurses in training. She illustrates her theme with many practical examples drawn from hospital experience. This is a careful and scientific study of psychology applied to nursing which is readable and avoids the use of unnecessary technical terms.
Maritime Insurance and the Law: Legal Action Against Protection and Indemnity Club
by Feray FirinciogullariThis book provides a comprehensive examination of direct-action rights within Protection and Indemnity (P&I) Clubs, a cornerstone of the maritime industry, providing robust insights into the interplay of legal frameworks and maritime insurance in an increasingly globalized industry. P&I Clubs provide shipowners with extensive liability coverage under rules largely governed by English law due to its global maritime influence. Through a comparative analysis of English and Turkish legal approaches, the book examines how these differing frameworks affect the development and functioning of P&I insurance. It highlights critical disparities in the legal treatment of direct action against P&I Clubs, shedding light on their implications for maritime insurance policy, practice, and industry growth. It also covers the unique principles that distinguish P&I Clubs from other types of liability insurance. Additionally, the book offers recommendations for harmonizing national legal systems with P&I Club rules, highlighting strategies to promote the growth and effectiveness of the maritime insurance sector. Drawing on extensive primary legal texts, case law, and comparative legal methodologies, the book suggests regulatory reforms for Türkiye and other jurisdictions worldwide.The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of maritime law, maritime insurance, and insurance law.
Nursing History: The State of the Art (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Christopher MaggsIn recent years there has been an immense growth in interest in the history of nursing, both from nurses themselves, who are keen to discover the roots of their practice and profession, and on the part of historians and sociologists of health care to nursing history, women’s history and the development of professional groups. Originally published in 1987 this book presents some of the most interesting work in this field from authors in Britain, the USA and Australia and is a major addition to this literature.
AI-Powered Pedagogy and Curriculum Design: Practical Insights for Educators
by Geoff Baker Lucy CatonAI-Powered Pedagogy and Curriculum Design offers practical insights and guidance on the effective integration of AI tools into teaching practices and curriculum design. While numerous claims exist as to the validity and authenticity of the applications of AI in schools, too little attention has been paid to empirical research conducted with and by teachers in real-world classrooms. This book synthesises diverse viewpoints from teacher educators across disciplines and levels toward a comprehensive, context-specific understanding of the challenges and best practices for responsibly leveraging Generative AI to enhance outcomes in classrooms. Contributors further shed light on how Generative AI can align with standards, assessment practices, and teacher training programs in different settings. Firsthand classroom experiences and experimental approaches of educators in the United Kingdom and Europe will provide current and aspiring teachers with insights into the intersection between AI and teacher empowerment, student participation, ethical implications, and socially just approaches.
Occupational Health Nursing (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Brenda SlaneyWhen this book was originally published in 1980, the speciality of occupational health nursing was only just beginning to be recognised by the nursing profession and the public although nurses had been doing the job for over one hundred years. One of the reasons for this may well have been the lack of nursing literature dealing with the subject. This book, written by tutors of Occupational Health Nursing Certificate Courses and practitioners in industry considers topics and concepts that give the specialism its unique character.
High-Performance Automation Methods for Computational Intelligent Systems: Challenges, Opportunities, and Applications (Computational Intelligence in Signal Processing and Automation)
by Vijay Kumar Sharma Sachin Kumar GuptaIntelligent computation is the need of the current society. This field attracts significant attention due to its application‑oriented systems. It is essential for implementing various society‑related solutions. Automation methods help improve the quality of life and support the development of efficient systems. The available theories and concepts are implemented for the benefit of society, drastically changing the world. The advancement of the existing ideas is simulated in the scenario of future intelligent automation systems. The complicated problems can be easily solved using the mentioned approaches. The decisive nature of the algorithms builds the system more intelligent. This book targets current trends in the relevant field and outlines a path for the development of future automated systems. The intelligence behaviour of the systems is the prime requirement for the age development.

Nursing Education: Research and Developments (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Bryn D. DavisOriginally published in 1987 this book presents a number of research-based studies in nursing education, concentrating particularly on the nursing curriculum and its planning, content implementation and evaluation. Some of the chapters report on specific research projects whilst others are more general reviews. The book is written by leading researchers in nurse education in the UK and will be of interest to nurse tutors and teachers and researchers.
The Nursing Curriculum: Theory and Practice (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Fred GreavesOriginally published in 1987, this book expands and develops some of the ideas presented in the author’s earlier volume Nurse Education and the Curriculum: A Curricular Model. This book expands that theoretical discussion and presents an analytical explanation of curriculum design, development and evaluation as applied to nursing. It also addresses the practical difficulties of building and implementing an effective curriculum for nursing education and discusses ways and means by which the facilitation of planning strategies can be developed. The book shows how the curriculum process can be used as a conceptual framework for dealing with intentions and purpose, content, methods and evaluation.
Nursing Management and Education: A Conceptual Approach to Change (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Michael P. BowmanOriginally published in 1986, this book examines the nature of management in nursing and discusses the relevance of management education to the job of the nurse. It examines key reports and legislation of the day as they affected the health service in general and nursing in particular. It aims to assist senior nurses in their teaching of management education and to assist first-line nurses in understanding and applying the principles of management to their own practice to improve patient care. Learning objectives are given throughout the book to ensure that the nurse can check their own understanding and apply the theory to real situations.
Nursing in Contemporary Society (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Una MacleanOriginally published in 1974, the main aim of this book is to help nurses to a deeper understanding of those whom they are learning to serve. The author explains the relevance of sociology to contemporary nursing, showing that patients cannot be fully understood or properly treated without a knowledge of the social background of their complaints, and without knowing something about the families upon whom they depend and who are dependent upon them. A sociological perspective can also help nurses in regard to their position: nurses play a wide variety of roles in a wide range of situations. A chapter is devoted to relationships within hospitals, particularly with doctors. The book also discusses developments in community care and in relation to general practice.
Work Psychology and the Climate Crisis: A Handbook of Principles and Practice
by Jan MaskellThis book explores the psychological impact of climate change on organisations and individuals, encouraging the reader to consider the ways in which they can take action to address this critical issue.Written in a clear and concise style, with an emphasis on the application of theory to practice, the author takes topic areas from work psychology to help readers identify methods which are appropriate to them personally and for their organisations. Topics such as the management of change, leadership, engagement, and wellbeing at work are of interest to many professionals in the workplace. The climate crisis makes it even more important that these issues are addressed in a systematic, robust, and effective manner. This is a handbook of the psychological principles underpinning the actions required to support, encourage, and enable individuals, managers, and leaders to implement the range of actions required in their organisations and practice.This is a valuable resource for students, academics, and practitioners of occupational psychology, environmental psychology, and sustainable business. It will also be of interest to a variety of other practitioners and researchers interested in climate mitigation, as well as businesses and HR professionals looking to use occupational psychology in their climate strategies, and those working in ‘green’ jobs.
Nurse Education and the Curriculum: A Curricular Model (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Fred GreavesThe nursing process, the curriculum process and theoretical nursing models are essential areas of concern for those nurses who are involved with the design, planning and implementation of nurse educational programmes. Originally published in 1984, this book reviews and brings together appropriate elements of these three areas. A critical analysis of nursing theory, and relationship of theory to practice, and an overview of nursing models is presented along with an examination of general curriculum theory and practice and nursing applications.
Social Skills Training and Psychiatric Nursing (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Owen Hargie Patrick J. McCartanWhen it was originally published in 1986, this book was one of the few to be written on social skills and mental health specifically for nurses. Yet it is nurses who are uniquely placed to improve the skills of those with mental illness since it is they who often have most contact with patients or clients. This book examines the place of social skills training in the practice of psychiatric nursing. It provides relevant background to the evidence for limited social skills in psychiatric patients and the expanding role of the nurse and considers more practical elements such as selection and assessment of patients for a programme, goal-setting, role play, feedback, and group versus individual approaches. The book also analyses relevant skills themselves, such as nonverbal communication and being assertive. The book is aimed at both trained and student psychiatric nurses.
The Nurse as Therapist: A Behavioural Model (Routledge Library Editions: Nurse Education and Nursing Care)
by Philip J. Barker Douglas FraserThis book, originally published in 1985, is intended to complement Philip Barker’s previous book Behaviour Therapy Nursing. The latter focussed more on the principles of the behavioural approach to nursing, while this book adopts a more practical approach. It is also shown that the proposed model can be extended beyond psychiatric and learning disabilities into general nursing. In the first part of the book the range of settings in which various therapeutic approaches can be used is set out, including work in the community. Emphasis is also given to the nurse’s role in social skills training and in the development of everyday living skills for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill and disabled. The second part of the book presents case studies, each describing how the nurse assesses the patient and plans and implements the treatment. The emphasis is on practical illustration of the behavioural approach to different clinical problems in different patient populations in various treatment settings. At the end of each study there is discussion of possible alternative treatment strategies and the general applicability of the case.
Voices of the Formerly Enslaved in Louisiana: The WPA Narratives
by Andrea LiveseyIn the 1930s, thousands of formerly enslaved Americans were interviewed across the United States as part of the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Writers’ Project. While most of those interviews were subsequently published, Louisiana’s were not. Gathered here for the first time in complete and contextualized form are the full interviews with the formerly enslaved in Louisiana, the transcripts of which had been separated, fragmented, and distributed throughout archives in the state. Reassembled and analyzed by historian Andrea Livesey, the interviews are critical for understanding how Black Louisianans experienced enslavement but also resisted and built distinctive cultures, communities, and families in spite of it. Equally important is the testimony of how they negotiated emancipation and built relationships after freedom.Livesey discusses the impact of Lyle Saxon, a well-known writer who headed the Louisiana branch of the Writers’ Project, and Louisiana poet Marcus B. Christian, who led the segregated Black unit. Other unique aspects of the collection are interviews in Kouri Vini and Louisiana French and descriptions of Voodoo, Marie Laveau, and medicine practiced in Black communities of the era. Livesey invites readers to pay critical attention to how the interviewers may have influenced the narrative preserved in the archive through interpersonal dynamics or editing as they transcribed the interview. Alongside the extended introduction to the volume, this analysis sheds light on the administrative structures and racialized dynamics that initially shaped the interviews.
Autistics at Work: A Practical Guide
by Sandra Thom-JonesSandra Thom-Jones has tried all kinds of work—selling flowers, tending bar, office work, university leadership. Along the way she has made some mistakes, had some successes, and learnt a lot about the barriers and facilitators for autistic people building a career in a predominantly neurotypical work environment. Thom-Jones shares her personal experiences and reflections as well as those of her colleagues, providing insights into the challenges and benefits of both being and working with an autistic employee, co-worker and employer. Autistics at Work is also informed by two decades of study into the autistic experience, and covers all aspects of the employment journey, from entering the workforce to senior leadership. Autistics at Work is essential reading for autistic individuals who are in, or considering entering, the workforce. It is also an invaluable resource for managers, colleagues, employers and employment professionals. This accessible guide includes tools and activities, and each chapter concludes with practical advice for autistic employees and their non-autistic colleagues and employers. We shouldn&’t be asking what jobs are suitable for autistic people, but how can we make this job suitable for this autistic person?
58 Facets: On violence and the law
by Marika SosnowskiWhen you have been forcibly displaced from your home, the revolutionary dream of what should have happened … stays alive as a utopian beacon of happiness that will (possibly) never come to pass. To be content and make a meaningful life from the ruins of that wrenching and uprooting is a small, everyday miracle that others easily overlook. 58 Facets is like a beautifully cut jewel, the kind Marika Sosnowski&’s grandfather would have bought, cut and sold after he arrived in Melbourne in 1947, having passed through a checkpoint minutes ahead of Nazi occupiers, via a Japanese internment camp in Java and a migrant accommodation camp just outside of Brisbane. If you hold it up to the light you will catch different stories in each of its many facets. You will have the table, the bezel, the star and the upper girdle, the lower girdle, the pavilion and the culet. You will have the dreams, the checkpoints, the documents, the bribes, the camps, the occupation and the resistance. Part memoir, part exposé, 58 Facets weaves together the narratives of Holocaust survivors and Israeli war criminals with Syrian activists, revolutionaries and dissenters. It challenges us to go beyond the links we see in our lives to our felt experiences of the law, violence and revolution, and how these experiences travel across bodies, space and time.

The Cornish Language in the Nineteenth Century
by Kensa BroadhurstThis book offers a radical re-examination of the history of the Cornish language, challenging the long-held belief that it became extinct with the death of Dolly Pentreath in 1777. Instead, it reveals compelling evidence that Cornish continued to be used throughout the 19th century, by the working class, by academics, and by those seeking to preserve the language. Exploring the research of antiquarians such as Dr. Fred W.P. Jago, Reverend Lach-Szyrma, and Henry Jenner, this book uncovers overlooked accounts of Cornish speakers and reassesses their linguistic knowledge. By tracing the language&’s survival beyond its supposed extinction, the author argues that during the nineteenth century Cornish should be classified as critically endangered rather than extinct. Essential for scholars of minority languages, heritage researchers, and the Cornish language community, this book reshapes our understanding of Cornish history—proving that its story is one of resilience, not disappearance.
