This book offers basic knowledge on Design Thinking as a method, process and philosophy. It presents thoughtful Design Thinking case examples and tools for nurses and other healthcare professionals, researchers, students and educators to support their development as creative and transformative leaders in their fields. Healthcare managers of the past viewed patients’ needs merely as targets for population-level health outcomes to be validated in the final phases of developing interventions and services. Today we know better. Patients’ needs and experiences should be viewed as sources of innovation at the front-end of the development process. It provides the basis for applying design think...
This book discusses the current trends in nursing and healthcare in relation to the integration of information technological interventions across the care continuum. The use of such interventions in healthcare has increased rapidly in recent years, partly due to the rise in technological gadgets/applications used in daily routines (e.g. actigraphy bracelets, smartphones) and their unique properties that can be utilized in assessing, monitoring and managing a patient’s condition remotely. This book highlights the areas and the ways in which these interventions can facilitate patient assessment and monitoring and complement conventional treatments in the management of disease-induced or trea...

The book presents the biographies and work lists of 126 Finnish women composers born between 1784 and 1909. Based on large-scale archival research, it is the first comprehensive historical account of Finnish women composers and their cultural heritage. The authors draw on feminist music history and the sociohistorical approach to find out who these women were, what kind of music they wrote, and how their careers reflected European cultural and social history. The treatise highlights the influence of girls’ schools, women’s suffrage movements and other socio-political developments on the musical culture of women. Concepts such as “composer”, “woman” and “Finnish” were assumed to be open and inclusive throughout the research, in terms of both musical style and diversity in cultural background. In concentrating on music-making by women, the book opens up radically new vistas on Finland’s music and cultural history, and it rectifies previous erroneous conceptions about women’s composership and their artistic work. In short, it exposes the richness in the sonic and intellectual heritage of Finnish women composers, as well as its significance in society today.
”Jos mie tämän kestän, se on kohta ohi.” Suomen ensimmäinen Idols-voittaja on aina nähnyt epäonnistumisissakin hopeareunuksen. Jo lapsena Hanna Pakarinen uskoi onnistuvansa kaikessa, mihin ryhtyi. Vaikka hän jäi koulun viestijuoksussa viimeiseksi, se ei häntä lannistanut. Luottamus omiin kykyihin ja vahva päättäväisyys veivät Hannan ensin Suomen ensimmäiseksi Idols-voittajaksi ja sitten euroviisuedustajaksi. Matkan varrelle on mahtunut kipeitä kolhuja ja kaksi burnoutia mutta myös paljon hilpeitä hetkiä, joista 20-vuotistaiteilijajuhlaansa viettävä Hanna kertoo eteläkarjalaisella tunteen palolla. ”Kun tekee luovaa työtä, ei voi jäädä miettimään, onnistuuko ja pärjääkö. Jos siihen ajatukseen jumahtaa, ei varmasti onnistu eikä pärjää. Ihminen ei voi olla luova, jos hän miettii liikaa sitä, mitä muut ajattelevat.” Elämäkerrassaan Elämä naurattaa Hanna myös kertoo idolin elämän valo- ja varjopuolista tavalla, jota ei aikaisemmin ole kuultu. Anu Räsänen on Helsingissä asuva toimittaja, kustannustoimittaja ja kirjailija, jonka juuret ovat Itä-Suomessa.
