Official synopsis Publisher
Changes in society affect health services and the individuals who work in and use them. As a result, the contribution of the social and behavioral sciences – sociology, social policy and psychology – to a holistic understanding of nursing is being increasingly acknowledged. Nursing courses reflect this contribution, yet it is often difficult for students to see the connections between these three related disciplines and their relevance to nursing. This is the first textbook which clearly explains and integrates these important areas while emphasizing their relevance and applications to nursing care.
