Demographically, the care of older people is a growing area of
concern. The growth in nursing care in this area has been
tremendous both within and without the NHS. Nursing texts have
tended to be limited to medical aspects of ill-health, but nursing
older people as a specialty is developing a much more positive,
holistic focus. This book provides a practice-based text
concentrating on how nursing should focus on positive aspects of
care and developing quality of life. Growing older is often
regarded purely in negative terms and this has a profound influence
on the practice of caring for older people. This innovative text
focuses on promoting a positive approach to practice and the value
of older people in our society. Unlike other books in this field,
it avoids a medical approach and instead focuses on health,
individuality and relationships in caring--the quality of life
which should be the aim of care. Section 1--Values, Attitudes and
Beliefs: cultural perspectives, choice and autonomy, risk
management Section 2--Optimum Health: positive approaches to
health, sexuality, spirituality, social networks Section 3:
Therapeutic Interventions: communication, touch, sensory
environments, relaxation Section 4: Future Issues: outcome
measures, resource issues, policy dimensions. Drawing on a range of
contributors from the fields of learning disabilities and mental
health as well as adult health, the editors have recognised that
many different disciplines can contribute to developing new
partnerships in approaches to care. Practice-focused, the text
features case studies and activities extensively to encourage
readers to reflect on their own values and experiences and the
experiences of older people. This practice-based text will inspire
both students and practitioners working with older people to
reflect upon their practice, think differently and discover new
approaches to care.positive approach integrates theory and practice
from different disciplines chapters included on innovative
practical approaches to therapeutic communication including the use
of touch and relaxationcolour plate section extensive use of case
