The Emotional Labour of Nursing Revisited by Pam Smith
Respected author Pam Smith emphasizes the continued relevance of emotional labour within the modern healthcare context. Revisiting her 1992 findings in light of fresh theoretical perspectives and data drawn from her own new research studies, Smith explores whether care and compassion remain at the heart of contemporary nursing practice.
'This is an excellent text, timely and much needed in health care todayIt was such a pleasure to read a very important contribution to nursing knowledge and I'm sure that so many nurses and health care workers would benefit from reading it. I suggest it should be core reading on all health care programmes, especially nursing.' - Dr D.M. Mazhindu, Senior Research Fellow, Faculty of Health and Applied Social Science, Liverpool John Moores University, UK "An extremely well presented text which offers a great breadth of discussion, drawn from a robust evidence base. This is a book that I would imagine students and post registered staff referring back to time and time again.' - Brigid Purcell, Senior Lecturer, University of Huddersfield, UK "This book has many [highlights]...but it has an important message to pass on - emotional labour takes its toll...At times it is uncomfortable and difficult reading but thought provoking and necessary...Smith raises some salient points regarding how we teach and support nurses, the importance ward structures and supportive environments play in encouraging our workforce." - Nursing Times
