Description: Living With Illness: Psychosocial Challenges
Australian Title
By Cath Rogers–clark, Kristine Martin–mcdonald & Alexandra Mccarthy
Living with Illness: Psychosocial Challenges focuses on developing and strengthening understanding of the illness experience. It encourages students to critically appraise conventional approaches to understanding and caring for those who are ill and empowers readers to offer true holistic care and change nursing practice in light of current research findings.
Traditionally nurses have drawn on knowledge from sociology and psychology as two separate but related disciplines, leaving the beginning level nurse to relate, integrate and translate knowledge gained into nursing practice. Living with Illness combines sociological and psychological perspectives to creatively represent psychosocial knowledge that is innovative and directly applicable to contemporary nursing practice.
