Pediatric Oncology Nursing


Book Description

This book presents the current state of the nursing science in topics relevant to the care of pediatric oncology patients and their families across the treatment trajectory and is framed within a precision health framework. The spectrum of topics covered is wide, including, for example, symptom management, self-care management, exercise and physical activity, family-centered care, palliative care, the role of the nurse in treatment decision making, patient and nurse resiliency, survivorship, and genetic counseling. Throughout, there is a focus on the implications of research for nursing practice, highlighting which elements of the available evidence are ready for translation into practice and which are not. In addition, careful attention is paid to the role that nursing can play in further advancing science through clinical research. The authors are leading experts from across the globe. The book will be of special interest for pediatric oncology nurses, including direct care nurses, research nurses, and nursing leaders, and will also be a stimulating source for researchers and non-oncology nurses.




Transformation of the Heart: a Renewed Life


Book Description

Dr. Bertuna asserts that there is a gap in conflict resolution research concerning successful gang member rehabilitation. This book looks to fill that void by evaluating the social transformation and rehabilitation of former gang members via the use of faith-based approaches. By focusing on research concerning a faith-based approach to gang removal, the outcome allowed Dr. Bertuna to create the theory HOPE (Holistic Outreach Program for Exit). The culmination of the design of this theory was based on the application of a faith-based approach to rehabilitation of gang members. Furthermore, Dr. Bertuna is co-author of MAPCID (Model for the Analysis of Potential Conflict in Development), which allowed her to analyze conflict as an intrinsic part of development. It transcends a static view of conflict by capturing the dynamics between all parties involved during a development project. By following the model, one analyzes seven levels of conflict drivers and stimulates the continuous alignment of power, culture, and goals, enabling timely participation of all parties in the development process.

While domestic violence has greater social and legal visibility today then it did in the past, the problem still remains a massive and ongoing crisis. My Partner, My Enemy brings truth and reality to a matter that desperately needs to be addressed.
