Описание: Learn how to manage effectively the concerns related to the aging of the multicultural population. As this population increases, health practitioners are dealing not only with more older patients, but also with greater diversity among older patients and their families. Socio-cultural factors such as race, ethnicity, culture, and religion affect health-promoting and health-seeking behaviors of individuals and institutionals and affect access and delivery of health services. Cultural Diversity and Geriatric Care provides an educational context in which readers can envision equitable and beneficial care of culturally diverse elderly people and helps readers face some of these concerns and share in their solutions. Cultural Diversity and Geriatric Care treats the subject from the perspective of cultural relativity and cross-cultural comparison. Chapters stress the importance of communication to bridge differing expectations, expressions, and experiences of health care. Covering an array of topics, the contributing authors: discuss cultural and social differences among elderly people and their health care providers review demographic and epidemiologic studies of differences in health status among major ethnic and minority categories of elders in the United States examine the elderly’s use of health care services, reasons for variations in use, and a framework for providers to address needs review benefits and problems created by diversity within interdisciplinary care teams and discuss ways to improve training effectiveness describe a three-year multidisciplinary program incorporating ethnic and cultural content into geriatric clinical education and training examine the relationship between family caregiving and health care professionals across settings of geriatric rehabilitation overview the rich diversity in cultural meanings and social actions attached to death and dyingTargeted research and education is necessary to assure that health professionals can provide care that is both high quality and equitable. Cultural Diversity and Geriatric Care is a valuable guide to help individuals working in the health care field better understand all their patients and thus provide more effective care.

In Holding On anthropologist Alyson O’Daniel analyzes the abstract debates about health policy for the sickest and most vulnerable Americans as well as the services designated to help them by taking readers into the daily lives of poor African American women living with HIV at the advent of the 2006 Treatment Modernization Act. At a time when social support resources were in decline and publicly funded HIV/AIDS care programs were being re-prioritized, women’s daily struggles with chronic poverty, drug addiction, mental health, and neighborhood violence influenced women’s lives in sometimes unexpected ways.
An ethnographic portrait of HIV-positive black women and their interaction with the U.S. healthcare system, Holding On reveals how gradients of poverty and social difference shape women’s health care outcomes and, by extension, women’s experience of health policy reform. Set among the realities of poverty, addiction, incarceration, and mental illness, the case studies in Holding On illustrate how subtle details of daily life affect health and how overlooking them when formulating public health policy has fostered social inequality anew and undermined health in a variety of ways.

Описание: AIDS has devastated communities across southern Africa. In Lesotho, where a quarter of adults are infected, the wide-ranging implications of the disease have been felt in every family, disrupting key aspects of social life. In Infected Kin, Ellen Block and Will McGrath argue that AIDS is fundamentally a kinship disease, examining the ways it transcends infected individuals and seeps into kin relations and networks of care. While much AIDS scholarship has turned away from the difficult daily realities of those affected by the disease, Infected Kin uses both ethnographic scholarship and creative nonfiction to bring to life the joys and struggles of the Basotho people at the heart of the AIDS pandemic. The result is a book accessible to wide readership, yet built upon scholarship and theoretical contributions that ensure Infected Kin will remain relevant to anyone interested in anthropology, kinship, global health, and care.

Heinemann Название: Transplanting Care: Shifting Commitments in Health and Care in the United States ISBN: 0813574420 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813574424 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 32560.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The sudden call, the race to the hospital, the high-stakes operation-the drama of transplant surgery is well known. But what happens before and after the surgery? In Transplanting Care, Laura L. Heinemann examines the daily lives of midwestern organ transplant patients and those who care for them, from pretransplant preparations through to the long posttransplant recovery. Heinemann points out that as efforts to control healthcare costs gain urgency-and as new surgical techniques, drug therapies, and home medical equipment advance-most of the transplant process now takes place at home, among kin. Indeed, the transplant system effectively depends on unpaid care labor, typically provided by spouses, parents, siblings, and others. Drawing on scores of interviews with patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals, Heinemann follows a variety of patients and loved ones as they undertake this uncertain and strenuous “transplant journey.” She also shows how these home-based caregiving efforts take place within the larger economic and political context of a paucity of resources for patients and caregivers, who ultimately must surmount numerous obstacles. The author concludes that the many snags encountered by transplant patients and loved ones make a clear case for more comprehensive health and social policy that treats care as a necessarily shared public responsibility. An illuminating look at the long transplant journey, Transplanting Care also offers broader insight into how we handle infirmity in America-and how we might do a better job of doing so.

Giving Blood represents a new agenda for blood donation research. It explores the diverse historical and contemporary undercurrents that influence how blood donation takes place, and the social meanings that people attribute to the act of giving blood. Drawing from empirical studies conducted in the United States, Canada, France, Australia, China, India, Latin America and Africa, the book's chapters turn our attention to the evolution of blood donation worldwide, examining:
the impact of technology advances on blood collection practices
the shifting approaches to donor recruitment and retention
the governance and policy issues associated with the establishment of blood clinics
the political and legal challenges of regulating blood systems.
This innovative examination moves the focus from individual explanations of rates of blood donation to a social, structural explanation. It will appeal to international scholars and students working in the areas of sociology, medical anthropology, health care, public policy, socio-legal studies, comparative politics, organizational management, health and illness, the history of medicine, and public health ethics.

Описание: This book offers a novel critique of public-private partnerships in public health. The author argues these relationships create webs of influence that undermine the integrity of public health agencies, and imperil public health. He makes a compelling case that the paradigm interaction between governments and corporations should be at arm`s length: separation, not collaboration.
