Caring is at the core of what nurses and other health professionals
do. But caring encompasses more than simply looking after people's
physical health needs. People requiring any health service will
have psychological needs that affect their feelings, thoughts, and
behaviour. Good psychological care can even help improve physical
health outcomes. An Introduction to Psychological Care in Nursing
and the Health Professions explains and promotes the importance of
psychological care for people when they become physically ill,
giving a sound theoretical basis to ensure care is evidence-based.
It encourages the reader to think about the effects of illness and
disability on patients, and to understand what can be done to
identify and minimise any difficulties they might be experiencing
in these areas. The chapters cover: the meaning and elements of
care and holistic care; a model of psychological care in practice;
the personal qualities and skills of carers that best underpin
psychological care delivery, and how these might be enhanced; the
knowledge needed for effective psychological caregiving;
psychological care as it might be practised in a range of health
care settings. This text contains key learning points, practical
activities, reflective exercises and case illustrations. It is
ideal for student and practising nurses, and health professionals
who would like to improve their care for patients in this essential
area.
