Abstract

"A recurring theme of this book is the need in healthcare for greater kindness. Not kindness as simply an emotional feeling - important though this is - but intelligent kindness, the kindness that motivates us to be co-operative rather than competitive with one another; to feel connected, thoughtful and with a sense of kinship towards other people. This connectedness starts with thoughtfulness towards ourselves, and learning about the impact on our physiology and our cognitive performance of the stressful environments in which we are all working. The potential gains are substantial. Firstly, there is our own wellbeing and a recovery of that 'joy of practice' which first alerted us to the attraction and fulfilment of working in healthcare. Secondly, greater safety and wellbeing of staff means improved safety for patients and a reduction in the medical error related to staff burnout. There is a particular responsibility on healthcare regulators, leaders and providers to develop the intelligent kindness towards healthcare staff which has too often been absent, so that staff and their patients remain safe"--

Abstract

"The oncology careforce faces challenges as population growth in the U.S. contributes to increases in the number of patients diagnosed with cancer. Significant advances in cancer research, screening and diagnostic practices, and treatment have led to the age-adjusted declining mortality rate from cancer. However, as the field continues to develop and advance, cancer care has become more complex than ever before. There is a growing concern regarding the U.S. health care system's capacity to deliver high-quality cancer care to the increasing number of patients. The National Academies convened a workshop on February 11-12, 2019 to explore trends in cancer care and identify opportunities for improvement in the rapidly developing oncology careforce. Discussions at the workshop primarily focused on trends in demographics, the careforce, and oncology practice, as well as implications for the future of cancer care and strategies to improve the organization and delivery of cancer care. Opportunities to change policy and leverage technologies in oncology were also identified. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop"--

Abstract

"This book focuses on research developments, models, and practical applications of animal-assisted interventions for diverse populations who have experienced trauma. Physiological and psychological trauma is explored across three broad areas: 1) child maltreatment and family violence; 2) acute and post-traumatic stress, including that which is associated with military service, war, and developmental trauma; and 3) times of crisis, such as natural disasters and the ever-increasing risks associated with climate change, community violence, terrorism, and periods of personal loss and grief. Contributing authors, who include both national and international experts in the fields of human-animal connection and trauma, discuss how our relationships with animals can help build resiliency and foster healing to transform trauma and trauma response."
