Health promotion is an increasingly important part of the work of
most health professionals. Yet health promotion is qualitatively
different from traditional health care activities.
This book will be a focused introduction to, and exploration of,
ethical issues in health promotion. It aims to provide a rationale
for the underlying value of health promotion and for resolving
value conflicts. To what extent should an individual be obliged to
contribute to the collective health of a society? Should a society
be more concerned to promote health than to treat existing disease
and illness? Indeed can a society be said to have a responsibility
for the health of its members?
The first part of the book addresses the theoretical context of
ethics and health promotion. The second part focuses on examples
relating to nursing and other health professionals, using a case
study approach. The book will be invaluable in helping
professionals understand and respond to ethical challenges in
practical ways.
