Full Description

This comprehensive guide aims at Harnessing the Arts to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in Clinical Practice, Health Promotion, Professional Education, and National Policy Making.

In a world grappling to manage the complexities of the challenges to population and planetary health, this pioneering publication emphasises the skills needed for creativity, the arts as well as science, to address 21st-century wellbeing. It presents educational content and global examples of nurses, the most trusted, most connected, and mostly female profession being innovative change makers, using the arts in their practice and delivering all of the United National 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The science of nursing is evident in the visible actions and viable evidence used to support and sustain practice. But what of the art of nursing? The invisible actions that create the space and pace of care, that control the communication and commitments and so the trust between people, that maintain the Caritas and the connections even when the people are gone. Whether at a personal level, when people are unable to articulate what the nurse did, 'they were just there', at the professional level when the debate is about undoing task based nursing, hierarchical power and gendered inequalities and assumptions, or at a structural level where health is a right for some and a privilege for others, the science does not give us all the answers. The arts can and are helping in a way that brings different ways of knowing into health, and into nursing, and into the way we all need to unite to deliver the sustainable development goals. 

This book aims at empowering nurses to integrate the arts into their practice and deliver all of the SDGs; It is a true transformative education book using case studies from across the world.
