This addition to the Fast Facts series provides a succinct guide
for nurses in adult-health clinical settings and fills the need for
an easy-to-use clinical reference that delivers a quick-access
reference on ways to incorporate wellness into their work, helping
to improve patient outcomes, and throughout their daily lives,
helping to reduce personal and professional stress and improve
their overall wellness.
There currently is no clinical reference book that nurses can
use for health promotion in general and health promotion for
wellness in particular. Having such a reference is especially
pertinent to nurses who learned about health promotion in academic
nursing programs, but did not learn about health promotion in the
broader context of promoting wellness.
Since Florence Nightingale, nurses have considered health
promotion interventions - particularly patient education -- as an
essential component of nursing care. Historically, these
interventions traditionally focused on physical health concerns,
such as nutrition, exercise, and fresh air, and more recently, on
immunizations, and screening for disease (e.g., cancer, diabetes,
hypertension, and cardiovascular disease). Because health promotion
has expanded to include "wellness," nurses now address issues
related to broader aspects, such as stress reduction, body-mind
connectedness, and self-responsibility.
At the same time that wellness has become an important focus of
care, health care providers increasingly are emphasizing cost
effectiveness and use of advanced technology. As a result of these
concurrent trends, nurses experience high levels of job-related
stress and have less time to promote patient wellness as an
integral part of their care, even though they recognize its
importance. In addition, nurses increasingly recognize that
job-related pressures negatively affect them personally and they
are looking for ways to incorporate wellness in their work and
personal experiences.
"Fast Facts for Health Promotion for Wellness (FF HP)" fills the
need for an easy-to-use clinical reference that delivers a
quick-access reference on ways to incorporate wellness into their
work and throughout their daily lives.
