Synopsis

Due to our experience with the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses have confronted many new issues as well as questioned the quality of past healthcare delivery and education. This content focuses on improving public and community health and emphasizes the need for the nursing profession to do more to make this area of healthcare as integral to healthcare delivery as is acute care.

Designed to support current standards and goals for the nursing profession, Disasters, Public Health Emergencies, and Crisis Response provides students with a succinct yet vital exploration of the topic and examines approaches taken to prepare and respond to disasters and public health emergencies, as well as the roles and responsibilities of nurses during such crises.

The guide underscores the importance of considering diversity and equity to ensure all who need help during disasters and public health emergencies receive it. The content discusses vulnerable populations and their special needs during these times; the multiple stakeholders involved during disasters and public health emergencies; and how nurses, in particular, can ensure communities receive the care they need during these critical times.

Disasters, Public Health Emergencies, and Crisis Response is part of the Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing, a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice.
