Journal Access Tips

We may have access to the journals through several of our subscriptions, so we recommend paying attention to which database will give you access to the volumes and issues (publication years/months/weeks/etc.) you're looking for. Ofttimes publishers place an embargo on the most recent issue(s) of publications, so our subscriptions may not include the most recent year or month, etc. that you're looking for. In our catalog, JaySearch, there will be a line below each database that carries the journal's issues which describe the access range. For example, the line may say "Available from 01/01/2016 until 12/31/2020," which means you will want to request any issue before 2016 or after 2020 through InterLibrary Loan or work with a librarian to help find the journal(s) and/or article(s).

Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine: A Practical Guide by Adriaan Hopperus Buma (Editor); Charles W. Beadling (Editor); Walter Henny (Editor); Aroop Mozumder (Editor); Norman M. Rich (Editor); David Burris (Editor); Alan Hawley (Editor); James Ryan (Editor); Peter F. Mahoney (Editor); Charles W. Beadling (Editor); Walter Henny (Editor); David MacGarty (Editor) The first edition of conflict and catastrophe was produced in 2002 and a second, successful edition, followed in 2009. The decision to produce these works sprung from painful problems experienced by colleagues and authors themselves during many humanitarian and related deployments. The guide for both editions was to provide, in one volume, an entry level text covering all aspects of deployment, with an emphasis on medicine and healthcare in these environments. This third revised, expanded and updated edition of Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine: A Practical Guide follows its successful predecessors in providing a framework for use by health professionals visiting a resource constrained environment. Encompassing problems brought about by local conflict or natural disasters, the book covers preparation, organisation, logistics, treatment of major trauma and medical emergencies, and the special problems of delivering medicine in a hostile environment. This book comprehensively tackles: Self-preparation of health professionals to face a range of medical and related problems which occur in hostile and remote environments; War and disaster medicine, covering acute management, rehabilitation, reconstruction and prevention; Bridging the fields of medicine, nursing, international relations, history, politics and economics. The book also touches on nutrition, infection, trauma, psychiatry and psychological medicine and training.

Global Applications of Culturally Competent Health Care: Guidelines for Practice by Marilyn "Marty" Douglas; Dula Pacquiao; Larry Purnell This book is unique in its global approach to applying the Guidelines for Culturally Competent Nursing Practice that were recently endorsed by the International Council of Nurses (ICN) and distributed to all of its 130 national nursing associations. The purpose of this book is to illustrate how these guidelines can be put into clinical practice and to show how practitioners from different countries with diverse populations can implement them. The first chapter provides the conceptual basis for Culturally Competent Health Care and describes how the guidelines were developed. Each of the next 10 sections presents a chapter describing a specific guideline followed by three or four chapters with detailed case studies to illustrate how the guideline was implemented in a particular cultural setting. All case studies follow a similar format and are written by international authors with clinical expertise and work experience in the culture being presented. This book will be useful for advanced practice nurses, healthcare students, clinicians, administrators, educators, researchers, and those who provide community health or population-based care.
