The interconnectedness of globalization has been a disseminating catalyst of COVID-19, and many scientists wonder if it is the result of the Anthropocene age. This book presents coping strategies from multiple languages of care, such as narrative, literature, science, philosophy, art, and digital science, as reflective tools to promote health and wellbeing among carers, patients, students, and citizens of our planet Earth. These strategies require a change of cultural paradigm and should be supported by decision-makers as low-cost investments to make the health care system work. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 165 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 April 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Springer Nature Switzerland AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Covid pandemic has brought about a significant upheaval that has challenged our understanding of what it means to be a human being in our modern age. The ability to control medical and social facts through evidence has been put to the test, as Western and developed countries grapple with the realities of HIV and Ebola, among other health crises faced by many populations in developing regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe interconnectedness of globalization has been identified as the primary catalyst behind the spread of COVID-19. Many scientists are questioning whether this virus is a product of the Anthropocene age, characterized by its disregard for natural ecosystems. The virus has starkly demonstrated our vulnerability, not only causing death and despair but also rupturing our interdependence as human beings. It has led to the adoption of self-isolation measures and the creation of new modes of connection, challenging the notion of safety without loneliness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, we explore a range of coping strategies that originate from diverse languages of care, including narrative, literature, science, philosophy, art, and digital science. These strategies are presented not only as reflective tools to promote health and well-being among carers, patients, students, and citizens of our planet Earth, but also as low-cost investments necessary to enhance the functioning of the healthcare system. However, they necessitate a shift in cultural paradigms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book serves as a valuable toolkit for patients, citizens, and healthcare professionals seeking to navigate this new world and learn how to live better in the face of the pandemic. It offers insights and practical approaches that can help individuals adapt to the challenges and opportunities that arise during these unprecedented times. By embracing these strategies, we can strengthen our resilience, foster empathy, and work towards a healthier and more interconnected global community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 285g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030933616\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44316433023226,"sku":"9783030933616","price":74.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_25e16e67-9cbb-4f89-b5c2-97e28c5b88d0.jpg?v=1688471934","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/health-humanities-for-quality-of-care-in-times-of-covid-19-9783030933616","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
