    • Español
    Esta edicion mantiene la linea de trabajo de las anteriores, al considerar que la evolucion del cuidado enfermero esta estrechamente ligada a la consideracion del concepto de salud-enfermedad que ha caracterizado cada momento historico. Los contenidos integrados en los cinco capitulos del libro constituyen un perfecto engranaje de la diversidad tematica y espacial: desde la prehistoria, las culturas clasicas, la Edad Media, Moderna, Contemporanea, hasta los nuevos retos del presente (prestando especial atencion al impacto de la pandemia de COVID-19). Por otro lado, la diversidad geografica y cultural constituye otra gran dificultad que las autoras han afrontado con una solvencia propia solo de investigadores avezados. Logran este enfoque sistemico mediante el planteamiento en todos los capitulos de aspectos clave en la conceptualizacion y la practica de los cuidados y la enfermeria en los diversos momentos historicos. Maria Luisa Martinez Martin y Elena Chamorro Rebollo (profesora honoraria del Departamento de Enfermeria de la Universidad Autonoma de Madrid y decana de la Facultad de Enfermeria 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 enfermeria en la diversidad de sus manifestaciones) en las diferentes formas en las que se ha desarrollado en la historia: su motivacion, forma organizativa, tecnicas, personas implicadas, caracteristicas esteticas, eticas, morales, antropologicas, culturales, religiosas, domesticas, ideologicas y, por supuesto, profesionales. La interpretacion de la salud y la enfermedad, los cuidados, los metodos y las tecnicas 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, dotandolo de una gran carga didactica. Otro de los aspectos mas destacables lo constituye su potencial pedagogico. Todos los capitulos integran sus respectivos indices y bibliografias. Ademas declaran, previamente al desarrollo del tema correspondiente, sus resultados de aprendizaje explicitando los conocimientos que debe adquirir el estudiante de forma analitica 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 capitulos.
