Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

What if the work of a nurse physio or homecare worker was designated an art so that the qualities of the experiences they create became understood as aesthetic qualities? What if the interactions created by artists directors dancers or workshop facilitators were understood as works of care? Care Aesthetics is the first full-length book to explore these questions and examine the work of carer artists and artist carers to make the case for the importance of valuing and supporting aesthetically caring relations across multiple aspects of our lives. Theoretically and practically the book outlines the implications of care aesthetics for the socially engaged arts field and health and social care and for acts of aesthetic care in the everyday. Part 1 of the book outlines the approaches to aesthetics and to care theory that are necessary to make and defend the concept of care aesthetics. Part 2 then tests this through practice examining socially engaged arts and health and social care through its lens. It makes the case for careful art exploring the implications of care aesthetics for participatory or applied arts. Then it argues for artful care and how an aesthetic orientation to care practices might challenge some of the inadequacies of contemporary care. This is a vital paradigm-shifting book for anyone engaged with socially engaged arts or social and health care practices on an academic or professional level. | Care Aesthetics For artful care and careful art

Having provided this analysis the authors move on to examine the empowerment of young people the framework provided by the Children Act the role of the manager the importance of supporting and supervising staff abuse in care and the experience of leaving care.

Care Ethics and Social Structures in Medicine

Care Ethics and Social Structures in Medicine

This book examines the central structures in medicine—medical knowledge economics technological innovation and medical authority—from the perspective of an ethics of care. The author analyzes each of these structures in detail before considering the challenges they present to end of life care. The perspective of an ethics of care allows for a careful focus on how these structures affect the capacity of the health care system to provide the care patients need on the impact they have on the relationships between patients and care-givers and on how they affect the care-givers in terms of their own sense of identity and capacity for care. This book offers one of the first focused discussions of an ethics of care across a wide range of social issues and structures in contemporary medicine. It will be of keen interest to advanced students and scholars in bioethics and health care ethics who are interested in these important issues. | Care Ethics and Social Structures in Medicine

Delivering Resilient Health Care

Delivering Resilient Health Care

Health care is under tremendous pressure regarding efficiency safety and economic viability. It has responded by adopting techniques that have been useful in other industries such as quality management lean production and high reliability – although with limited and all-too-often disappointing results. The Resilient Health Care Network (RHCN) has worked since 2011 to facilitate the interaction and collaboration among practitioners and researchers interested in applying concepts from resilience engineering to health care and patient safety. This has met with considerable success not least because the focus from the start was on developing concrete ways to complement a Safety-I perspective with a Safety-II perspective. Building on previous volumes Delivering Resilient Health Care presents documented experiences and practical guidance on how to bring Resilient Health Care into practice. It provides concrete advice on how to prepare a study how to choose the right data how to collect it how to analyse the data and how to interpret the results. This fourth book in the Resilient Healthcare series contains contributions from international experts in health care organisational studies and patient safety as well as resilience engineering. This book provides a practical guide for delivering resilient healthcare particularly for clinicians on the frontline of care unsure how to incorporate resilience into their everyday work managers coordinating care and for policymakers hoping to steer the system in the right direction. Other groups – patients the media and researchers – will also find much of interest here.

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Primary Health Care and Population Mortality

Population health management is being increasingly adopted by health systems yet the importance of primary health care in influencing population mortality and the mechanisms that explain it are not well understood. Too often primary health care is regarded as a service for minor health problems and for managing access to secondary care. This limited view is no longer tenable and it is time to be much more ambitious about the place of primary health care in health systems worldwide. In delivering and planning health care and in re-building health systems after the pandemic practitioners and policymakers in low- middle- and high-income countries need evidence on how primary health care affects population mortality and practical advice to effect change. Primary Health Care and Population Mortality fulfils this need. Drawing on his long experience as both a practitioner and researcher the author Richard Baker describes how primary health is crucial to the effect of health systems on population mortality including its potential for reducing inequalities in mortality. This accessible new book will provide invaluable information to leaders in service development and delivery academics in primary health care and those working within international organisations that are promoting primary health care for improving population health. It will also be of practical value to general practitioners primary health care nurses and managers and public health staff.
