By Gerda Sailer

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has suddenly become clear: nursing professions are systemically important. There was a lot of applause for their tireless efforts in the clinics, care facilities and home care. But what is the nursing profession? What opportunities and challenges are there to overcome in the future? You will find the answers in this book.

The authors illuminate the largest health profession and care from all perspectives. They allow carers, people who require care and relatives to have their say. They make the diversity, complexity and skills of the nursing professions visible. And they show the current problems that go far beyond the supposed “care crisis” caused by the absence of Eastern European 24-hour caregivers at the beginning of the pandemic.

Using international nursing reform success models, they illustrate how nursing as the “backbone of the health system” in terms of health and quality of life can also be sustainably strengthened in our country. This is the only way to maintain health care in all settings where care takes place – not only during the pandemic, but also with regard to demographic developments. Because the real “care crisis” is much larger and affects our society as a whole. The book wants to give a voice to 21st century care after the applause slowly fades away.
