Public health and the nursing role: contemporary principles and
practice is an essential resource which reflects the growing need
for all nurses to maintain and improve health as well as treating
illnesses. This book takes as its starting point that the aims of
public health and health promotion are key components of the
nursing role and daily nursing care. Writing in a clear and lively
style, the authors provide both an academic and practical account
of public health for all nursing practice.
Beginning with the question 'what is the public health agenda and
why does it matter?' the book examines and critiques core policies,
theories, and models in healthcare. The role of the nurse in
improving health is explored in the context of the scope of nursing
practice and working with patients and interprofessional
colleagues. Key nursing skills of assessing, planning, implementing
and evaluating care are outlined before the authors demonstrate how
nurses can make important interventions on health issues such as
mental health, obesity, sexual health, smoking, alcohol and long
term conditions.
Written as a core undergraduate course book this text is key
reading for all pre registration nursing students who need to
understand what public health means to nursing and need the skills
required for all nurses practicing in the 21st century. Students on
post registration courses will find this to be a helpful
introduction.
