Each chapter in this book is designed to help these professionals identify, understand, and hone the skills of emotional intelligence--skills that will bolster the nurse professional’s ability to lead effectively.

Summary:
Worldwide economic constraints on health care systems have highlighted the importance of evidence-based medicine and evidence-based health policy. The resulting clinical trials and health services research studies require instruments to monitor the outcomes of care and the output of the
health system. However, the over-abundance of competing measurement scales can make choosing a measure difficult at best. Measuring Health provides in-depth reviews of over 100 of the leading health measurement tools and serves as a guide for choosing among them.LNow in its third edition, this
book provides a critical overview of the field of health measurement, with a technical introduction and discussion of the history and future directions for the field. This latest edition updates the information on each of the measures previously reviewed, and includes a complete new chapter on
anxiety measurement to accompany the one on depression. It has also added new instruments to those previously reviewed in each of the chapters in the book.LChapters cover measurements of physical disability, social health, psychological well-being, anxiety, depression, mental status testing, pain,
general health status and quality of life. Each chapter presents a tabular comparison of the quality of the instruments reviewed, followed by a detailed deion of each method, covering its purpose and conceptual basis, its reliability and validity and, where possible, shows a copy of the
actual scale. To ensure accuracy of the information, each review has been approved by the original author of each instrument or by an acknowledged expert.

The Nurse Executive:

The Purpose, Process, and Personnel of Management: The Four Principles of Management




Product Deion

This book takes insights drawn from the Executive Nurse Fellows program established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to promote the idea of leadership development as an empowering force among nurses at all levels. It is intended as both a guide for professionals; leaders in schools of nursing, hospitals and other health care delivery systems, ambulatory care, long-term care, public and occupational health, and public policy, and as a in leadership courses for students at master's level and beyond. It presents the core competencies developed by the RWJ Nurse Fellows program - i.e. interpersonal and communication effectiveness, risk-taking and creativity, self-knowledge, inspiring and leading change, and strategic vision - as the keys to nursing leadership.The book is organized around the program's "leadership compass," a method used in leadership skill development. The four points of that compass are: Purpose: the vision to lead; People: the passion to work with others; Process: the skills to manage change; and, Personal: the self-knowledge to thrive.For each of these four points, the contributors (all graduates of the RWJ program) explore related competencies in each of three sections of the book: issues in public health, education, and service. The chapters reflect real-world experiences and are built around case studies that highlight one or two of the competencies.
