Editorial: [s.l.] : Springer Fecha de publicación: 2021 Número de páginas: XIV, 448 p. 27 ilustraciones, 22 ilustraciones en color.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: GeografÃa GeografÃa ambiental EpidemiologÃa Salud pública InmunologÃa VirologÃa GeografÃa integrada Clasificación: 910 Geografía viajes Resumen: Este volumen proporciona una respuesta crÃtica a la pandemia de COVID-19, mostrando toda la gama de cuestiones y perspectivas que la disciplina de la geografÃa puede exponer y poner sobre la mesa, no sólo para este evento especÃfico, sino para otros similares que podrÃan ocurrir en el futuro. . Compuesta por casi 60 capÃtulos breves (2500 palabras) fáciles de leer, la colección proporciona numerosos puntos de entrada teóricos, empÃricos y metodológicos para comprender las formas en que el espacio, el lugar y otros fenómenos geográficos están implicados en la crisis. Aunque pertenece a una serie de libros de geografÃa de la salud, el libro explora la centralidad y la importancia de una gama completa de geografÃas biológicas, materiales, sociales, culturales, económicas, urbanas, rurales y otras. Por lo tanto, el libro une campos de estudio y subdisciplinas que a menudo se consideran mundos separados, lo que demuestra el potencial para una futura colaboración e investigación interdisciplinaria. De hecho, el libro articula un enfoque geográfico diverso pero, en última instancia, completo y multiescalar para el principal desafÃo de salud de nuestro tiempo, reuniendo diferentes tipos de estudios con un propósito común. El público objetivo abarca desde estudiantes universitarios de último año y estudiantes de posgrado hasta académicos profesionales en geografÃa y una serie de disciplinas relacionadas. Estos académicos podrÃan estar interesados ​​en la COVID-19 especÃficamente o en el amplio enfoque disciplinario del libro sobre las enfermedades infecciosas en general. El libro también será útil para los responsables de la formulación de polÃticas en diversos niveles a la hora de formular respuestas, y para los lectores en general interesados ​​en aprender sobre la crisis de la COVID-19.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This volume provides a critical response to the COVID-19 pandemic showcasing the full range of issues and perspectives that the discipline of geography can expose and bring to the table, not only to this specific event, but to others like it that might occur in future. Comprised of almost 60 short (2500 word) easy to read chapters, the collection provides numerous theoretical, empirical and methodological entry points to understanding the ways in which space, place and other geographical phenomenon are implicated in the crisis. Although falling under a health geography book series, the book explores the centrality and importance of a full range of biological, material, social, cultural, economic, urban, rural and other geographies. Hence the book bridges fields of study and sub-disciplines that are often regarded as separate worlds, demonstrating the potential for future collaboration and cross-disciplinary inquiry. Indeed book articulates a diverse but ultimately fulsome and multiscalar geographical approach to the major health challenge of our time, bringing different types of scholarship together with common purpose. The intended audience ranges from senior undergraduate students and graduate students to professional academics in geography and a host of related disciplines. These scholars might be interested in COVID-19 specifically or in the book's broad disciplinary approach to infectious disease more generally. The book will also be helpful to policy-makers at various levels in formulating responses, and to general readers interested in learning about the COVID-19 crisis.

Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: GeografÃa integrada SociologÃa médica AntropologÃa médica Práctica y gestión hospitalaria Social medicine administracion de servicios de salud Administración Hospital practica de la medicina GeografÃa ambiental Administración de salubridad Clasificación: 910 Geografía viajes Resumen: Este libro presenta el primer análisis exhaustivo del alcance de las realidades geográficas y su relevancia en el trabajo de atención de la salud. Conceptualmente, el libro transmite cómo el espacio, el lugar y las ideas geográficas importan para la práctica clÃnica, desde los inicios históricos de los roles y responsabilidades profesionales en medicina hasta la actualidad. En 8 capÃtulos, el libro cubre el trabajo de atención de la salud en una variedad de tipos de trabajo (incluidos los de médico, enfermero y múltiples roles técnicos y terapéuticos en múltiples especialidades) y en una variedad de escalas (centrándose en problemas y tendencias globales, particularidades nacionales y regionales, problemas urbanos y rurales, entornos institucionales y varios entornos comunitarios). Este libro está destinado a estudiantes, profesores e investigadores en geografÃa, ciencias sociales y varias ciencias de la salud. El capÃtulo 1 examina cómo las ideas geográficas han sido centrales para el pensamiento y la práctica de los profesionales a lo largo del tiempo. El capÃtulo 2 revisa el alcance del estudio geográfico contemporáneo del trabajo de atención de la salud. El capÃtulo 3 presenta un estudio de caso empÃrico de las geografÃas en el trabajo de sala en hospitales. El capÃtulo 4 presenta un estudio de caso empÃrico de las geografÃas en el trabajo de ambulancia/respuesta rápida. El capÃtulo 5 presenta un estudio de caso de las geografÃas asociadas con un caso de alto perfil de criminalidad y negligencia en la práctica. El capÃtulo 6 considera los conceptos y las geografÃas en la atención centrada en la persona. El capÃtulo 7 considera los conceptos y las geografÃas en la adquisición de habilidades. Nota de contenido: Part1. Introductions -- Chapter1. The geographical origins of geographical thinking on health care work -- Chapter2. The geographical turn in contemporary health professional research: contexts, motivators, current and emerging perspectives -- Part2. Exemplars -- Chapter3. Case study I: Hospital-based multidisciplinary work – institutional emotional geographies -- Chapter4. Case study II:Care on the move - the emotional geographies of ambulance crews -- Chapter5. Case study III: Safe, ethical professionals? Trust and the representation of nurses, work and places in the context of neglectful and dangerous practice -- Part3. Visions -- Chapter6. Towards a research agenda that progresses key debates: example I – unpacking more-than-human assemblages of person-centred care -- Chapter7. Towards a research agenda that progresses key debates: example II - animating emerging 'skilling space'. Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This book presents the first single comprehensive analysis of the scope of geographical realities and relevance in health care work. Conceptually, the book conveys how space, place and geographical ideas matter to clinical practice, from the historical beginnings of professional roles and responsibilities in medicine to the present day. In 8 chapters, the book covers healthcare work across a range of job types (including physician, nurse, and multiple technical and therapeutic roles in multiple specialties), and across a range of scales (focusing on global issues and trends, national and regional particularities, urban and rural issues, institutional environments and various community settings). This book is intended for students, teachers, and researchers in geography, social science and various health sciences. Chapter 1 examines how geographical ideas have been central to practitioners' thinking and practice over time. Chapter 2 reviews the scope of contemporary geographical study of health care work. Chapter 3 presents an empirical case study of the geographies in hospital-based ward work. Chapter 4 presents an empirical case study of the geographies in ambulance/rapid response work. Chapter 5 presents a case study of the geographies associated with a high profile case of criminality and neglect in practice. Chapter 6 considers concepts and the geographies in person-centred care. Chapter 7 considers concepts and the geographies in skills attainment.
