ACHNE and APHN 2023 Joint Conference – Cognella Virtual Exhibit

I am thrilled to represent Cognella Academic Publishing in person at the ACHNE & APHN 2023 Joint Conference in San Diego, California. If you’re attending the conference, stop by the Cognella table and say hi!

If you aren’t able to attend the conference, we’ve put together a virtual exhibit to emulate the spirit and energy of an in-person event and to share our latest titles in the discipline.

I continue to be humbled by the dedication, sacrifice, and devotion of faculty as they prepare the next generation of nurses. The pressures faced are almost too many to name in today’s climate, and yet, the resolve only deepens to continue the profession forward to even greater excellence and better outcomes.

Cognella’s approach to serving health care education is impressive and deeply needed. We have an opportunity to focus on what today’s faculty, students, and practitioners need to advance educational paths and professions. We stand unwavering in our commitment to tackling under addressed topics, new approaches, and unique ideas in service of our current and future nursing professionals.

The titles featured in this virtual exhibit reflect Cognella’s commitment to publishing quality texts by notable authors that showcase the exciting work and thought leadership emerging in public health nursing.

If you’re interested in discussing book ideas, I’d love to hear from you. Please email me at: amandamartin@cognella.com.

I hope you all have a wonderful conference!

Join Lucinda Canty, Christina Nyirati, and Peggy Chinn for their keynote presentation, Overdue Reckoning on Racism in Nursing, on Tuesday, June 6th from 8 – 9:45am in the Great Room. The presenters will introduce the Principles of Reckoning as a way to provide nurses with a definition and guidelines for antiracist practice in the profession.

Peggy Chinn is the author of the ninth edition of Peace and Power: New Directions for Building Community. The book provides essential hands-on guidelines for developing cooperative group processes and overcoming group interactions that lead to alienation and disappointment, particularly those dynamics that give privilege and power to a few, while disadvantaging many in the group based on class, skin color, or disability.

Based on her experiences in classrooms, committees, and workshops, noted author, nurse educator, and community activist Peggy L. Chinn illustrates how every participant in a group can be valued as a leader in Peace and Power: New Directions for Building Community. The book provides essential hands-on guidelines for developing cooperative group processes and overcoming group interactions that lead to alienation and disappointment, particularly those dynamics that give privilege and power to a few, while disadvantaging many in the group based on class, skin color, or disability.

The diversity of the United States is valuable because every culture brings with it strengths and differing perspectives. Although knowing about every culture is not possible, recognizing cultural similarities and differences is essential for delivering effective community services and one-on-one health care to individuals. The thoroughly updated third edition of Multicultural Health provides an introduction and overview to the concepts and theories related to cultural issues in health and serves as a primer on health issues and practices specific to certain cultural groups.

For the dedicated nurse seeking a DNP degree, the final project can be a source of anxiety. Allison Terry’s revised third edition of Clinical Research for the Doctor of Nursing Practice serves to lessen this anxiety by walking the reader through each aspect of the DNP project, explaining how students can effectively conceptualize, design, and implement their research to become agents of change in multiple healthcare settings.

Leadership Laboratory for Nurse Leaders is an innovative and interactive workbook that challenges readers to reflect upon their personal experiences in learning how to lead through the lens of new and established ideas in the literature of nursing, psychology, education, sociology, and anthropology. Readers are guided through a series of laboratories, encouraged to consider real-world examples of leadership successes and challenges from peers, and prompted to experiment with new leadership strategies drawn from research.

This thoroughly updated edition emphasizes the importance of social environmental and cultural dimensions of health by examining current issues in health from a wide range of social and behavioral science perspectives. The book uses a social-ecological framework to address multilevel influences on health and applies key concepts in current research and practice. Editor Jeannine Coreil and 30 contributing authors use examples from the forefront of public health to illustrate the relevance of core competencies in the field for diverse real-world problems.

This text fills a void in literature by highlighting the pedagogical application of storytelling within modern nursing education. The incorporation of narrative pedagogy in nursing curriculum aligns with the current movement within the profession to reimagine the ways in which educators can most effectively prepare student nurses to holistically interact, care for, and advocate for their patients.

The Cognella Series on Public and Community Health Nursing is comprised of a collection of concise, informative guides that explore critical topical areas, their nursing application, and their relationship to nursing practice. The succinct nature of the guides provides opportunity to integrate the content throughout the nursing curriculum with ease.

Focused on the new AACN Essentials and the NAM Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report, each guide highlights a particular subject area that is integral to today’s nursing climate such as health equity, health disparities, vulnerable populations, population health, epidemics and pandemics, public health emergencies, and more.

Additionally, every text includes a set of interactive online activities to support the online learning experience, bring the material to life, and encourage greater engagement. For adopting faculty, an author-facilitated community exists to provide regular updates, information on current events, and new assignment suggestions.

Health Equity and Disparities was awarded third place in the 2022 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Awards in the History and Public Policy category. Read the press release.
