Rural Nursing: Volumes One and Two

Delivering health care to rural populations in comparison to urban populations presents particular problems. These volumes provide a basis for anticipating issues and options confronting rural nurses in the future. The contributors discuss: the background and theory necessary for the study of rural nursing; vulnerable rural populations such as pregnant women, heart patients and people with AIDS; minority populations such as migrant women, black elderly, and the homeless; interdisciplinary models of health care delivery; and health care issues and nursing roles. A concluding chapter considers the challenges of rural nursing research. Addressing a wide range of concerns of interest to rural nurses, Rural Nursing Volumes One and Two make a much-needed contribution to the literature of the field.Bushy, Angeline is the author of 'Rural Nursing: Volumes One and Two', published 1991 under ISBN 9780803942424 and ISBN 0803942427.
