Description
Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care, 8th Edition
Policy and Politics in Nursing and Health Care covers the role of nurses in shaping healthcare policy, reform and political action. It is authored by nationally and internationally recognized nurse leaders, with contributions from approximately 150 experts, and it examines how policy decisions are formed, implemented and challenged.
The eighth edition expands its focus on real-world advocacy and activism, and builds a global perspective on nursing leadership.
Four spheres of political action
The book organizes political action for nurses into four spheres: the workplace, government, professional organizations and the community. Topics covered include health economics, conflict management, lobbying strategies, traditional and digital media, community engagement, and the financial and business forces that shape healthcare delivery.
Case discussions and first-person narratives
Expert analysis sits alongside case discussions and first-person narratives, so readers see how nurses have influenced policy in practice, not just in theory. The eighth edition updates this material to reflect recent healthcare reforms and emerging policy debates.
