The first definitive volume on social support from a nursing
perspective, Integrating Social Support in Nursing analyzes current
theories and concepts and documents nursing's contribution to the
field. While confronting current conceptual controversies and
negative impacts of social support, Stewart emphasizes the need for
nurses to intervene with social support at the individual, dyadic,
and group levels; the need for nursing education to respond to the
challenge of integrating social support theory into the curriculum;
and the need for research strategies designed to clarify social
support issues such as gender as a predictor of social support. The
author also demonstrates the necessity for a social support based
framework and proposes a conceptual model incorporating
environment, nursing, health, and focal persons. Integrating Social
Support in Nursing is essential reading for nurse clinicians,
educators, students, and researchers who see the need to shift from
a medical to psychosocial model of health care delivery that views
clients as partners and families as allies. "The greatest strength
of this book is its connecting research to actual application. A
variety of insightful research and previous literature are covered
in great detail. . . . This book presents an excellent background
on social support and leaves the reader wanting more information,
in order to implement appropriate 'supportive' interventions."
--Choice "Stewart's book makes an important contribution to the
nursing profession. It integrates the vast interdisciplinary social
support literature into the theoretical dimensions that underpin
contemporary nursing research and practice. This book will provide
a common baseline for nurse clinicians, educators, students,
researchers, and theoreticians as they seek to incorporate a
concept that has unique relevance to nursing." --Jane S. Norbeck,
R.N., D.N.S.c., F.A.A.N., Professor and Dean, School of Nursing,
University of California, San Francisco "[This book] embeds social
support in nursing theory and enriches the pedagogy and training of
nurses, while enlarging the conceptual framework that guides their
practice." --Human Resources Abstracts
