Inhaltsangabe

The book describes a novel method of engaging rural communities in partnership initially with nurse learners to research and employ the Community Health Assessment Sustainability Education (CHASE) model. CHASE provides a consolidated structure that immerses nurse learners in community development in partnership with their group peers, community organisations and educational supervisors. The book engages with community development practitioners, community activists including rural health practitioners who provide services to rural populations, undergraduate health disciplines, postgraduate learners, educators, and researchers. 

The CHASE system is described in detail and offers case studies on its application in a variety of geographical contexts. CHASE is a starting point that does not set out to impose a single understanding – it is adapted in practice to rural communities’ requirements. Therefore, capturing how this model has been adapted within diverse international rural communities to accommodate community needs is paramount and aligned with each individual case study presented in the book. CHASE enhances collaborative relationships in the global landscape informing nursing curricula, and teaching and learning pedagogy internationally with a view to reduce health disparities.

This book is a valuable resource of pioneering work that spans disciplines and promotes collaboration among stakeholders invested in rural community health. By weaving together connections between disciplines and communities, the authors highlight the importance of spatial thinking and its impact on health and well-being. Readers are given a comprehensive exploration of the challenges of indigenous, minority, and vulnerable rural populations presented as insightful narrative, case studies.

The Editors have skillfully incorporated on interdisciplinary focus on the CHASE Model. The authors facilitate and evaluate favorable social change, enhance healthcare delivery systems and improve social determinants of health via interdisciplinary actions within community development.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jean Ross’s background in nursing, rural health, sustainability, community development and geography is originally from Wales, UK and has lived in Aotearoa New Zealand since 1991. The cumulation of her work associated with rural nursing, includes activism, research, and education. Jean’s initial work with rural health commenced in Wales and continued in 1994 with the establishment of the first Centre for Rural Health in New Zealand and in 1999 the National Centre for Rural Health of which she was co-director. Jean is also an advocate for sustainable rural community development and nurse education. Her books, Rural Nursing: Aspects of Practice dedicates a space for rural research to be presented, while being the first rural textbook published in New Zealand. Stories of Nursing in Rural Aotearoa: A Landscape of Care promotes rural health and in particular rural nursing practice. Equally, Growing Rural Health Tipu Haere Tuawhenua Hauora: 30 Years of Advocacy and Support in Aotearoa has captured rural activism amongst health professionals and the support of rural communities.    

Samuel Mann’s background in geography, sustainability, computing and botany has enabled him to dedicate his career to developing frameworks to allow professionals to deliver on this promise of socioecological good which encompasses community development. His book The Green Graduate: Educating Every Student as a Sustainable Practitioner, outlines a framework for integrating sustainability into every course of study. This framework was successfully adopted by all polytechnic computing programmes in New Zealand, following its transformation of education at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin. Sam has been working with indigenous groups to better understand the potential and urgency of de-colonising computing, and how we can ensure that computing serves the needs of all members of society. Sam’s book Sustainable Lens: A visual guide explores the visual narrative of sustainability. 

Keith Whiddon’s background in geography was formerly a teacher and Educational Inspector/Adviser and a passionate advocate for how new technologies may transform learning and teaching. He moved to Shropshire to become a full-time musician and community activist and founded the Bishop’s Castle Community Partnership; chaired the town’s Michaelmas Fair and is a school governor. Keith has instigated many innovative community projects, including the development of an online platform designed to improve community mental health and wellbeing. He is an enthusiastic explorer, capturing wild and forgotten places on camera, both over and underground.
