Women's Health in Canada
In recent years, healthcare professionals have recognized the distinctly different healthcare needs and concerns of men and women. Women's health, in particular, has come into its own in the last two decades. In Canada, however, there has been little available in the way of a general text on women's health. This volume works toward filling that gap by providing a resource for teaching and understanding women's health in this country. To lay out the methodological and theoretical foundations for their study, editors Olena Hankivisky, Marina Morrow, and Colleen Varcoe bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners from economics, anthropology, sociology, nursing, polit...
Implementing Trauma- And Violence-Informed Care
Shedding light on structural and systemic factors that impact health and well-being, this collection provides how-to guidance for implementing trauma- and violence-informed care to improve experiences in health and social service settings.
Women’s Health in Canada
Women’s Health in Canada considers the challenges relating to the conceptualization of women’s health. While emphasizing the importance of taking an intersectional approach to women’s healthcare, this book also focuses on the social and structural determinants at play. This revised and updated second edition brings together a collection of new chapters and contributors who collectively shed light on the problems and risks involved in perceiving women’s healthcare using a strictly "gender"- or "sex"-based lens. Contributors foreground an understanding of power as it is mediated through a range of social relations based on gender, race, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, ability, class, an...
Women's Health in Canada
This collection considers how health, and women's health are shaped through intersecting systems of power based on colonialism, sexism, racism, heterosexism, and ableism.
Implementing Trauma- and Violence-Informed Care
The need for health and social services to be trauma- and violence-informed has never been so pressing. In the wake of COVID-19, racial violence intensified and violence against women spiked globally. Mental health for many is worsening, while the ongoing toxic drug overdose crisis provides horrendous evidence of the impact of trauma, violence, stigma, and social inequities. Service providers across sectors are increasingly impacted by these dynamics and, without supportive environments, are burning out. Implementing Trauma- and Violence-Informed Care aims to support health and social service organizations and providers to create environments, policies, and practices to mitigate the harms of...
How to Nurse
"How to Nurse: Relational Inquiry in Action, 2nd edition offers students a theoretically sound, research-informed way of navigating the complexities of real-life nursing practice. Research shows there is a gap between education and practice, and this book helps fill that gap by giving students a framework-a relational inquiry framework- to help prepare them to be safe, competent, ethical providers. Highlighting examples from acute and community-based settings throughout all chapters, the authors show the link of their relational inquiry approach and how it can be implemented in practice. Because students can't be exposed to every situation they might encounter as professionals and because situations might evolve that might not even seem conceivable today, the authors avoid the pitfall of other texts that are limited to authoritative, "how-to" practice prescriptions. Instead, the authors foster critical thinking skills and encourage students to explore the complexities of everyday nursing through "Try It Out" and "This Week in Practice" learning activities"--

Body Failure
In this energetic new study, Wendy Mitchinson traces medical perspectives on the treatment of women in Canada in the first half of the twentieth century. It is based on in-depth research in a variety of archival sources, including Canadian medical journals, textbooks used in many of Canada's medical faculties, popular health literature, patient case records, and hospital annual reports, as well as interviews with women who lived during the period. Each chapter examines events throughout a woman's life cycle puberty, menstruation, sexuality, marriage and motherhood and the health problems connected to them infertility, birth control and abortion, gynaecology, cancer, nervous disorders, and menopause. Mitchinson provides a sensitive understanding of the physician/patient relationship, the unease of many doctors about the bodies of their female patients, as well as overriding concerns about the relationship between female and male bodies. Throughout the book, Mitchinson takes care to examine the roles and agency of both patients and practitioners as diverse individuals.
Feminist Community Research
Feminist community research is a collaborative methodology that holds the promise of building a more just society. But in the absence of critical analysis and responsible use of power, the approach can lead to naive or harmful practices. This interdisciplinary volume acknowledges the challenges that researchers can encounter, and discusses strategies that have been employed to overcome them. By sharing collective wisdom gained from research among diverse groups -- from immigrant and Aboriginal women in Vancouver to poverty-reduction practitioners in Vietnam -- this book will help researchers and government agencies build better bridges between research institutions and communities.
