Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection

Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection

Literature reviews are undertaken by students researchers clinicians and educationalists – that is almost all nurses. Despite much excellent work exploring the assumptions and practices that constitute searching for and reviewing literature has merit and prompting those who undertake these activities to think critically about what it is that they are doing should be encouraged. Widely adopted approaches to structuring reviews (the standard model) can detrimentally limit the scope or range of literature that is accessed and appraised. It is further proposed that a lack of professional ambition or confidence invests aspects of the way some nurses engage with the sources that are available to them. Across the book parochialism is challenged. The crucial roles that values and judgement play in reviews are highlighted. It is argued that humanities and arts texts deserve potentially a bigger or more assured place in reviews undertaken by nurses. Difficulties in appraising quantitative and qualitative research reports are identified and benefits linked with taking a contemplative line through the review process are considered. This book contributes to debates around evidence-based practice and literature reviews more generally. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in professional issues research and the philosophy and sociology of nursing. | Nursing Literature Reviews A Reflection

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Like an army of millions ready to defend its territory the human immune system acts as the body's primary line of defense-a complex network of interacting cells that protects us from pathogens and other foreign substances. But many components of the immune system exhibit change after prolonged heavy exertion indicating that it is suppressed and stressed albeit transiently following prolonged endurance exercise. For marathon runners distance swimmers and any other endurance athlete who undergoes repeated cycles of heavy exertion a weakened immune system could lead to health complications such as respiratory infection. As a result interest in various nutrient supplements with the potential to counter exercise-induced immunosuppression has grown. Nutrition and Exercise Immunology reviews the link between nutrition and immune function with special application to athletic endeavor. Written by respected researchers in sports medicine and exercise immunology this text covers topics such as carbohydrates and the immune response to prolonged exertion; protein exercise and immunity; and vitamins immunity and infection risk in athletes. It also takes a look at future directions in nutrition and exercise immunology. For sports medicine professionals dietitians nutritionists exercise immunologists as well as endurance athletes Nutrition and Exercise Immunology provides an important and in-depth look into this exciting new area of scientific research.

Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology

Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology

In recent times the ASEP (American Society of Exercise Physiologists) leaders have developed and implemented academic standards to promote professionalism in academic programs throughout the U. S. The effort represents a significant change in the scope and the monitoring of the exercise physiologists' accountability. Through these new standards all academic exercise physiologists are challenged by ASEP to accept responsibility for promoting the professionalization and self-regulation that will lead to lead to improved client and patient care when prescribing exercise medicine. Accreditation helps to reduce unnecessary variation within and between academic programs. Moreover given the collaborative improvement in academic programs and faculty responsibility to the undergraduate students the quality of their educational care will be significantly improved. Academic exercise physiologists must take responsibility for where exercise physiology is today and take responsibility to the evolving state of exercise physiology and student market-driven career opportunities in exercise medicine. Advancing the Profession of Exercise Physiology provides understanding and guidance on the importance and the significance of academic leadership in promoting the profession of exercise physiology as a healthcare profession that is founded on professionalism accreditation ethical practice and entrepreneurial skills.
