Basic Principles of Nursing Care
Author: Virginia Henderson
Publisher: American Nurses Association
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
"The International Council of Nurses commissioned her to write an essay entitled Basic Principles of Nursing Care (Geneva, 1960) for the use of nurses who had neither access to technology nor the medical care required to establish disease diagnoses. The ICN publication is available in 29 languages and is in current use throughout the world. Noting the absence of an organized literature upon which to base clinical studies, she embarked on a project to annotate nursing literature. The four volume Nursing Studies Index was completed in 1972 and was hailed as her most important contribution to nursing science. Miss Henderson started her most important writing project at the age of 75 when she began the sixth edition of the Principles and Practice of Nursing text. Over the next five years, she led Gladys Nite and seventeen contributors to synthesize the professional literature she had just completed indexing. With the wisdom gleaned from over fifty years in the nursing profession and the opportunity to review the writings of all principle authors who wrote in English, she fashioned a work that both thoroughly criticized health care and offered nurses an opportunity to correct the shortcomings. The book operates on two levels; individual and global. She argued that health care will be reformed by the individual nurses who will enable their patients to be independent in health care matters when patients are both educated and encouraged to care for themselves. She took this philosophy to new heights by eliminating medical jargon from the text and declaring it is a reference for those who want to guard their own or their family's health or take care of a sick relative or friend."--AAHN.
