Clary Krekula - Böcker

Omvårdnad & äldre belyser äldre personers hälsa och ohälsa och bygger på sammanlagt 33 svenska forskares beskrivningar av det aktuella kunskapsläget. Författarna representerar främst ämnet omvårdnad, men även medicin, oral hälsa, kulturgeografi, filosofi, socialt arbete, gerontologi, medicinsk etik, arbetsterapi och fysioterapi. I denna andra upplaga har boken genomgått en omfattande revidering med en ökad integrering av gerontologi och geriatrik och nya kapitel om våld i nära relationer och akut omhändertagande har tillkommit.Omvårdnad & äldre vänder sig till sjuksköterskestudenter på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, men även till kliniskt verksamma sjuksköterskor och andra yrkesgrupper inom fältet.År 2017 tilldelades boken Kurslitteraturprisets hederspris med följande motivering:För ett heltäckande grundverk, som med gedigen vetenskaplig tyngd, avhandlar ett område som är högaktuellt såväl i dag som under många år framöver. Andelen äldre ökar och många lever allt längre med långvariga sjukdomar. Detta ställer nya krav på sjuksköterskan och omvårdnaden. Boken är helt anpassad till dessa nya förutsättningar där de senaste forskningsresultaten kombineras med konkreta omvårdnadsåtgärder. Verket är mycket välskrivet, med den äldre personen ständigt i centrum.

Nations that are raising retirement ages appear to work on the assumption that there is appropriate employment available for people who are expected to retire later. 'Gender, ageing and extended working life' challenges both this narrative, and the gender-neutral way the expectation for extending working lives is presented in most policy-making circles.The international contributors to this book - part of the Ageing in a Global Context series - apply life-course approaches to understanding evolving definitions of work and retirement. They consider the range of transitions from paid work to retirement that are potentially different for women and men in different family circumstances and occupational locations, and offer solutions governments should consider to enable them to evaluate existing policies.Based on evidence from Australia, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, this is essential reading for researchers and students, and for policymakers who formulate and implement employment and pensions policy at national and international levels.

This open access book addresses the important and neglected question of older workers who are excluded from the labour market. As such the book is an essential reading for students, academics and policy makers who seek to understand how exclusion processes operate to the disadvantage of older workers in the labour market.

How is digitalisation reshaping work for older workers across Europe? This open access volume offers a comprehensive examination of the challenges and opportunities that arise as technology transforms the labour market. Bringing together leading scholars from across Europe, the book provides fresh, evidence-based insights into working experiences of older workers in a digitalised labour market.Across 15 chapters, the contributors draw on diverse methodologies and data from multiple countries to explore critical themes sorted into the following thematic sections:Theoretical foundations and inequalities: Understanding how digitalisation intersects with age, gender, and sustainable career trajectories.Policy and media representations: Examining how regulations and public narratives depict  the situation of older workers.Digital practices and health implications: Investigating the impact of technology on communication, well-being, and workplace dynamics.Sector-specific perspectives: Illustrating experiences of older workers in education, social care, and healthcare.This anthology serves as an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners dealing with the complexities of ageing and work in the digital era. It not only maps current trends but also shows possible ways to support more inclusive and sustainable workplaces for all generations.
