The Library has added a new title to our collection, entitled Health Equity and Nursing: Achieving Equity Through Policy, Population Health, and Interprofessional Collaboration. This text focuses on how nurses can improve the health of all populations they serve, the significance of interprofessional collaboration, and the economic, environmental, personal, social, and structural factors that impact health status and outcomes.

Along with principles, pathways, and imperatives pertinent to achieving health equity, this book “discusses the evolution of thinking from eliminating health disparities to achieving health equity, and examines population-based and population-specific inequities in health status and outcomes.”

The Library recently added a new nursing eBook, entitled Epidemiology for Advanced Nursing Practice. This text is meant to guide nursing students to the understanding of “basic concepts of epidemiology while gaining and applying statistical conceptual skills” with a focus on disease prevention and community-centered migration.

This eBook is designed to prepare advanced practice nursing students to meet the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) for Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) standards. Major topics include “expert insights, the role of epidemiology and statistics in advanced nursing practice, study designs and outcomes, emerging infectious diseases, genetic and environmental epidemiology, the role of culture, nursing in pandemics and emergency preparedness, and legal and ethical issues.”
