congratulations to dr. kristen jones-bonofiglio on the publication of her new book

congratulations to assistant professor (school of nursing) and director (centre for health care ethics), dr. kristen jones-bonofiglio on the publication of her new book entitled health care ethics through the lens of moral distress.

the book is her first peer-reviewed monograph and was published on august 28, 2020 by springer international (see www.springer.com/book/9783030561550). 

health care ethics through the lens of moral distress addresses health care ethics on a personal level and promotes the idea that moral distress experiences can be leveraged to promote positive outcomes. the book is inclusive of all health-care workers and caregivers such as physicians, social workers, and allied health-care professionals.

health care ethics through the lens of moral distress makes a significant contribution to the international bioethics literature by connecting the reader to a wide variety of current academic research in a highly readable format.

set against the context of a canadian nursing perspective, she positions health-care providers as ‘wounded healers’ and acknowledges their suffering amidst the messiness of everyday ethical issues in various practice settings. as such, this is a timely publication in light of the recent covid-19 pandemic.

"i am pleased to see dr. jones-bonofiglio’s book published. the current climate in health care calls for a careful evaluation of the impact of moral distress experiences on health care professionals and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
