This evidence-based text explores children's health and wellbeing
from birth to adolescence, taking into account the familial,
cultural, social, economic, environmental and global contexts of
their lives. Divided into three parts, this book draws on an
international body of research and theoretical perspectives on the
determinants of health, such as hereditary, socioeconomic,
environmental, geopolitical, gender and cross-cultural factors. It
begins with an overview of child health and wellbeing before
exploring global influences on health. The second part of the book
focuses on health promotion and safeguarding. The final part looks
at a range of health conditions that may impact children's health,
including infectious diseases, chronic health conditions and mental
health. The book ends with a discussion of the role and
contribution of families, carers, health professionals, hospitals,
the wider community, charities and government, and examines how
children with health needs and their families can best be
supported. Each chapter includes critical questions, case studies
and reflection points, all followed by a commentary to help the
reader to think through the issues. Designed for all those working
with children, or studying to work with children, Health and
Wellbeing for Babies and Children: Contemporary Issues is ideal for
students undertaking courses on public health nursing, children's
nursing, early years education, childhood studies and social work,
among others.
