"The landscape of healthcare provision across the world has changed in the past few years. An increased dependence on technology, growing financial pressure on the world's health services, the potential impact of AI, an ongoing shortage of qualified nursing and other health professional staff, the global pandemic, and a host of other regional and local pressures has meant the act of providing care in the health care domain or health service has come under growing pressure. As well, the path towards becoming a nurse or health professional has changed, with unprecedented clinical challenges and changes in the way students learn as greater content is moved to online learning platforms and clinical exposure is diminished. The global pandemic has exposed weaknesses in health services around the world, but it has also emphasised the commitment, care and courage health professionals have been able to bring to their roles each day and in a multitude of clinical environments. Today's nursing and health professional students are tomorrow's clinical leaders, and now is an excellent opportunity to explore what 'care' means for health professionals facing sustained and ongoing clinical challenges. Nurses and other health professionals are expected to employ a solid knowledge base, sound clinical skills, and think critically and to do so with a firm grasp of what it means to 'care' and how caring is practiced... however this too is coming under pressure from the same forces mentioned above. With the additional challenges of burn out, compassion fatigue, bullying and a seeming host of more hostile clinical environments. This text: Notes On... Caring is written to provide an outline of what it means to 'care' from a health professional perspective. Its goal is to help nurses and health professionals understand the concepts and context of care and how effective care provision can or might be used to enhance their practice - to excel as a nurse or health professional and to offer genuinely transformational care"--

Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
To care can feel good, or it can feel bad. It can do good, it can oppress. But what is care? A moral obligation? A burden? A joy? Is it only human? In Matters of Care, María Puig de la Bellacasa presents a powerful challenge to conventional notions of care, exploring its significance as an ethical and political obligation for thinking in the more than human worlds of technoscience and naturecultures. Matters of Care contests the view that care is something only humans do, and argues for extending to non-humans the consideration of agencies and communities that make the living web of care by considering how care circulates in the natural world. The first of the book’s two parts, “Knowledge Politics,” defines the motivations for expanding the ethico-political meanings of care, focusing on discussions in science and technology that engage with sociotechnical assemblages and objects as lively, politically charged “things.” The second part, “Speculative Ethics in Antiecological Times,” considers everyday ecologies of sustaining and perpetuating life for their potential to transform our entrenched relations to natural worlds as “resources.” From the ethics and politics of care to experiential research on care to feminist science and technology studies, Matters of Care is a singular contribution to an emerging interdisciplinary debate that expands agency beyond the human to ask how our understandings of care must shift if we broaden the world.
