Nursing Ethics in Modern China by Samantha Mei-che Pang Pdf

This book follows two lines of inquiry in understanding nursing ethics in the historical-cultural context of modern China. Firstly, it scrutinizes the prescribed set of moral virtues for nurses in fulfilling their role requirements during different periods of nursing development over the past century. Based on empirical studies, the book, secondly, explores the nurses’ evaluations of their ethical responsibilities in current practice. It carefully examines the particular viewpoints of nurses in their ethical appraisal of nursing practice and patient care situations. Drawing upon traditional ethical outlooks, international norms, and the experiences of nurses as they face difficult care situations, this book concludes with recommendations for improving the quality of nursing in contemporary China.

From Virtue to Value by Anonim Pdf

(Uncorrected OCR) Abstract 'From virtue to value' characterises the two main lines of inquiry of this thesis in making sense of nursing ethics in modern China. The first line of inquiry examined the prescribed set of moral virtues that were required of nurses over the past century. The second line of inquiry was an empirical venture focusing on the nurses' evaluations of their ethical responsibilities in current practice. The particular viewpoints that nurses brought to their appraisal of the patient care situations where ethical practice was in question were examined. Three essential virtues have been identified, not only in academic writing or official documents, but also in the opinions of nurses themselves. They are a sense of socialist responsibility, excellence in practice and sincerity in relating to patients. These virtues have their roots in traditional Chinese medical ethics but expressed within the ideological framework of 'socialist humanism', in which Mao's mandate 'rescue the dying and heal the wounded, serve the people wholeheartedly' is promulgated as the fundamental principle. Embedded in this mandate is an advocacy of respect for life that demands a positive duty on the part of health-care workers to protect life and treat patients with altruistic motives. Over the past ten years, education and management measures have been instituted to foster these virtues in nurses. In reviewing contemporary issues in the health care system, population policies and euthanasia movement, I argue that another set of values based on the notion of 'quality of life' is promulgated by the Party leadership, which directly poses challenges to the adequacy of the mandate in informing practice. The empirical findings do not support a transition from virtue to value. Instead, it discloses a tension between the valuing of traditional virtues and the valuing of the virtues of the market economy. The three pairs of contrasted rankings emerged from the pattern of nurses' rankin.

Medical Ethics in China by Jing-Bao Nie Pdf

Drawing on a wide range of primary historical and sociological sources and employing sharp philosophical analysis, this book investigates medical ethics from a Chinese-Western comparative perspective. In doing so, it offers a fascinating exploration of both cultural differences and commonalities exhibited by China and the West in medicine and medical ethics. The book carefully examines a number of key bioethical issues in the Chinese socio-cultural context including: attitudes toward foetuses; disclosure of information by medical professionals; informed consent; professional medical ethics; health promotion; feminist bioethics; and human rights. It not only provides insights into Chinese perspectives, but also sheds light on the appropriate methods for comparative cultural and ethical studies. Through his pioneering study, Jing-Bao Nie has put forward a theory of "trans-cultural bioethics," an ethical paradigm which upholds the primacy of morality whilst resisting cultural stereotypes, and appreciating the internal plurality, richness, dynamism and openness of medical ethics in any culture. Medical Ethics in China will be of particular interest to students and academics in the fields of Medical Law, Bioethics, Medical Ethics, Cross-Cultural Ethics as well as Chinese/Asian Studies and Comparative Cross-Cultural Studies.

A Contemporary Nursing Process by Dr. Rozzano C. Locsin, RN, PhD, FAAN,Dr. Marguerite Purnell, RN, PhD, AHN-BC Pdf

"[This book] speaks against thinking [that] we can only understand nursing from a traditional, logical, empirical approach, suggesting we need a contemporary process for exploring nursing. I can't agree more." --Journal of Christian Nursing "Nurse scholars from across the globe contribute essays to this unique philosophical exploration of today's nursingÖ.This book presents an emerging view that requires nursing to look at its work through a broader and less structured lens. Challenging the structure of the traditional nursing process, the book considers nursing as reflective and thoughtful." --Doody's A Contemporary Nursing Process re-envisions the practice of nursing by configuring caring in terms of the person the nurse cares for. Locsin and Purnell stress the importance of knowing the patient, and differentiating the person from the disease. This text addresses this highly relevant issue, and provides a wealth of insight on how to care for the patient on a personal level, while still professionally administering clinical treatment. Chapters discuss: How to appreciate persons as participants in their care, rather than as objects of care The ideal of care versus the practical demands of care Technological advancements shaping human life and nursing The consequences of "not knowing" the patient on a personal level

The China Gadabouts by Susan Armstrong-Reid Pdf

The Sino-Japanese War (1937-45) had a devastating impact on China's population. Braving bandits and disease, the China Convoy - a Quaker-sponsored humanitarian unit - provided medical relief in the unoccupied territory of "Free China" and later to both sides in the ensuing civil war. China Gadabouts examines the roles played by Western and Chinese nurses in the Convoy's humanitarian efforts from 1941 to 1951. In so doing, it re-examines the quandaries of Quakers' purportedly apolitical global engagement that remain salient for contemporary humanitarians. China Gadabouts illuminates the dilemmas, challenges, and opportunities presented by humanitarian work within a Western-based relief organization.

Christian Ethics and Nursing Practice by Richard B. Steele,Heidi A. Monroe Pdf

Christian Ethics and Nursing Practice shows how the religious and moral teachings of the Christian Bible compare, contrast, and correlate with the ethical standards of modern nursing, as stated in the Code of Ethics for Nurses. It describes four main strands of moral discourse in the Bible--law, holiness, wisdom, and prophecy--and shows the relevance of those strands for contemporary bedside and advanced practice nursing. The work could serve as a textbook for courses in nursing ethics at Christian colleges and universities or as a guidebook for practicing nurses, who have devoted their lives to caring for the sick, the injured, the elderly, the disabled, and the dying as a way of living out their commitment to Jesus Christ.
