This rich resource provides a thorough overview of current knowledge and new directions in the study of the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors that affect health, health behavior, and illness.

By understanding our psychological selves, the book shows how we can change our unhealthy behaviours and potentially lose weight.

Restraints in Dementia Care - A Nurse's Guide to Minimizing Their Use (Paperback): Atul Sunny Luthra Restraints in Dementia Care - A Nurse's Guide to Minimizing Their Use (Paperback)
Atul Sunny Luthra; As told to Yarima Gonzalez, Heather Millman
R543 Discovery Miles 5 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Your best tool to optimize patient care by minimizing restraint use Frontline nurses face fraught decisions every day about whether and how to use restraints in dementia care. They need to consider many complicated issues: legislation governing the use of restraints, the policies of health-care facilities, the expectations of families, and--most importantly--the well-being, dignity, and safety of patients and care providers. Frontline nurses need the right support to navigate decisions about restraint use. Dr. Atul Sunny Luthra and his colleagues have developed an algorithm to provide that support. Their work comes from focus-group consultations with frontline staff, a review of current literature on restraint use, and a clear summary of key legislation. The algorithm's systematic approach ensures restraints are a last-resort measure, and puts the right steps in place when restraints are necessary. This short guide includes: A review of nurses' perspectives on restraint use. Alternatives to restraints in patient management and assessment of clinical indicators for restraint use. Procedures to ensure informed consent when restraints are necessary. A reference on appropriate and inappropriate restraint use in everyday clinical situations.

Nursing Homeless Men - A Study of Proactive Intervention (Paperback): J. Atkinson Nursing Homeless Men - A Study of Proactive Intervention (Paperback)
J. Atkinson
R1,837 Discovery Miles 18 370 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book is part of the "Research in Nursing" series. The main objectives of this study were to present profiles of a hostel in Glasgow and a comparative hostel, to make assessments and referrals and to evaluate their effect. These objectives were successfully met along with secondary objectives to discover insights into the residents' experiences and lifestyles, and their interaction with health and nursing services. The objectives were addressed by gathering and analysing quantitative and qualitative data and the use of theoretical perspectives: Roy's nursing theory of adaptation (to study the men as individuals) and a sociological perspective, including Deviance Theory, to examine the men as a group. Although the study concentrated on District Nursing practise, it demonstrates universal methods of nursing practise relevant to all community nurses.

Illuminating The Dark Side of Occupation - International Perspectives from Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science... Illuminating The Dark Side of Occupation - International Perspectives from Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science (Hardcover)
Rebecca Twinley
R3,977 Discovery Miles 39 770 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This innovative volume introduces Twinley's concept of 'The Dark Side of Occupation'. Focused on less explored and under-addressed occupations, it is an idea which challenges traditional assumptions around the positive, beneficial, health-promoting relationship between occupation and health. Emphasising that people's individual experiences of occupations are not always addressed and may not always be legal, socially acceptable, or conducive to good health, the book investigates how these experiences can be explored theoretically, in practice and research, and in curriculum content for those learning about occupation. Beginning with a discussion of some assumptions and misunderstandings that have been made about the concept, the substantive chapters present and analyse tangible examples of the concept's applicability. This ground-breaking and practice-changing text provides ideas for future research and highlights contemporary, internationally relevant issues and concerns, such as the coronavirus pandemic. This book is an essential purchase for students in occupational therapy and science, and valuable supplementary reading for practitioners. It is also relevant to a wide interdisciplinary audience with an interest in human occupation, encompassing anthropologists, councillors, criminologists, nurses, and human geographers.
