{"product_id":"the-development-of-the-japanese-aya-takahashi-9780415674966","title":"The Development of the Japanese Nursing Profession: Adopting and Adapting Western Influences","description":"In the years after 1868, when Japan's long period of self-imposed isolation ended, in nursing, as in every other aspect of life, the Japanese looked to the west. This book tells the story of 'Florence Nightingale-ism' in Japan, showing how Japanese nursing developed from 1868 to the present. It discusses how Japanese nursing adopted western models, implementing 'Nightingale-ism' in a conscious, caricature way, and implemented it more fully, at least on the surface, than in Britain. At the same time Japanese nurses had to cope, with great difficulty, with traditional Japanese attitudes, which were strongly opposed to women being involved in professions of any kind, and, as the book shows, western models did not in fact penetrate very deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aya Takahashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415674964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415674966\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.47d","brand":"Aya Takahashi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443475198207,"sku":"9780415674966","price":77.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a57f4c49-cc96-47b4-8439-dca06d51ebfd.jpg?v=1777205776","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-development-of-the-japanese-aya-takahashi-9780415674966","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
