  • Historia de la enfermería

    Evolución histórica del cuidado enfermero
    • 4 Edición
    • María Luisa Martínez Martín + 1 más
    • Español
    Esta edición mantiene la línea de trabajo de las anteriores, al considerar que la evolución del cuidado enfermero está estrechamente ligada a la consideración del concepto de salud-enfermedad que ha caracterizado cada momento histórico. Los contenidos integrados en los cinco capítulos del libro constituyen un perfecto engranaje de la diversidad temática y espacial: desde la prehistoria, las culturas clásicas, la Edad Media, Moderna, Contemporánea, hasta los nuevos retos del presente (prestando especial atención al impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19). Por otro lado, la diversidad geográfica y cultural constituye otra gran dificultad que las autoras han afrontado con una solvencia propia solo de investigadores avezados. Logran este enfoque sistémico mediante el planteamiento en todos los capítulos de aspectos clave en la conceptualización y la práctica de los cuidados y la enfermería en los diversos momentos históricos. María Luisa Martínez Martín y Elena Chamorro Rebollo (profesora honoraria del Departamento de Enfermería de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid y decana de la Facultad de Enfermería y Fisioterapia Salus Infirmorum de la Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, respectivamente), son las autoras de este estudio imprescindible para entender la naturaleza del cuidado (la enfermería en la diversidad de sus manifestaciones) en las diferentes formas en las que se ha desarrollado en la historia: su motivación, forma organizativa, técnicas, personas implicadas, características estéticas, éticas, morales, antropológicas, culturales, religiosas, domésticas, ideológicas y, por supuesto, profesionales. La interpretación de la salud y la enfermedad, los cuidados, los métodos y las técnicas empleados, las personas encargadas de dispensar los cuidados o las instituciones implicadas en su dispensa son cuestiones que se responden en todos los apartados de este libro, dotándolo de una gran carga didáctica. Otro de los aspectos más destacables lo constituye su potencial pedagógico. Todos los capítulos integran sus respectivos índices y bibliografías. Además declaran, previamente al desarrollo del tema correspondiente, sus resultados de aprendizaje explicitando los conocimientos que debe adquirir el estudiante de forma analítica y pormenorizada; seguidamente, las autoras dejan patente de forma concisa los conceptos clave que debe comprender y dominar el estudiante en cada uno de los capítulos.

Crawford are pioneers of conceptual care mapping — a visual, holistic way of making clinical judgments and planning patient care. Essentially, this text offers an easier, fundamentally different way to learn the nursing profession!
