Sociology and its applications are key components of the core
foundation programme in nursing and healthcare.
Sociology of health and health care is an essential textbook for
all students of nursing and healthcare and is organised in four
parts: the nature of sociology and sociological research; the
social patterning of health and disease; the social aspects of
illness and dying; and the organisation and delivery of health
care.
Sociology of health and health care explores the nature of
sociology and sociological research and their application to health
and health care. It explores the impact of current social contexts
on health and healthcare and recent developments in healthcare
policy and addresses their implications for nursing and
inter-professional working. This fourth edition also examines new
approaches to understanding social inequalities in health and
experiences of chronic illness and dying.
