The book is unique in its discussion of cooperation and conflict in the disaster responses regarding the mobilization of individuals across national borders and continents. It examines how partnerships developed, their implications for policy, and how we can use lessons learned to improve care in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book addresses such questions as: How did local, regional, and national communities mobilize for emergency care? What was the role of local nurses in emergency care after disasters? What was the role of the national or international Red Cross, local and federal governments, physicians, nurses, and other first responders? What was the impact of social attitudes and issues of race, class, and gender on the ways nurses and other health care professionals reacted to the disasters? How did unpreparedness for the type or scope of the disaster affect the response? The book will be of value to a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate students in nursing, social work, history, health policy, women's studies, public health, and urban studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the role of nurses in di saster response\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights nurses' roles in di sasters that occurred in the context of World War II√\u0026gt;=heretofore unaddressed in the interest of political correctness\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses policy implications of the different disasters\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46507024089239,"sku":"9780826126726","price":6749.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780826126726.webp?v=1769197947","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nurses-and-disasters-global-historical-case-studies-9780826126726","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
