Pioneering Theories in Nursing traces the origins of nursing theories through their founders. Unlike other nursing theory texts, this book provides the personal story on some of the greatest nursing leaders, clinicians and theorists to date so the reader can understand the context within which the nursing pioneer developed their theory. It will attempt to explain the theories and practice of nursing and provide food for thought for students and practitioners, encouraging reflective thinking. Each section begins with an overview of the chapters and identifies common themes. Designed to be highly user-friendly, each chapter follows a standard structure with a short biography, a summary on their special interests and an outline of their writings before each theory is examined in detail. The chapter then looks at instances of how this theory has been put into practice and what influence this process has had on the wider nursing community. Further links to other theorists are provided as well as key dates in the life of the theorists and a brief profile.
This book or 'briefing' has been written for trainee clinicians of various disciplines who find themselves suddenly and perhaps temporarily involved in the management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Importantly, it has also been designed to appeal to those who are involved in such care not only in the operating theatre, but elsewhere along the cardiac surgical pathway as an insight to both preoperative and postoperative needs. The briefing and the style in which it is written is based upon the author's extensive experience in training a variety of individuals in the cardiac operating theatre. So it has been created in a way which should appeal not only to trainee anaesthetists, but also to other involved clinicians which include trainee surgeons, perfusionists, anaesthetic support staff, ward, theatre and critical care nurses and therapists involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients.

This book has been produced so that the problems surrounding the use of restraints across a range of health and social care settings can be better understood. Ultimately it is hoped that the book will ...
