Sociology will always remain a dynamic and living science due to
its roots in the study of the human condition with reference to
human action and interaction. Nursing sociology aims to understand
society and how individuals function within it, within the health
sector and specifically within the current nursing scenario, in
order to provide holistic patient care. Nursing sociology is
written from a multicultural perspective, reflecting on South
Africa's diversity and explaining complex sociological ideas in a
way that is easy to follow. In this 6th edition, substantial
attention has been given to aspects of socialisation, social
interaction, structure and relationships, social stratification,
group dynamics, institutions, organisations and social problems
encountered in nursing practice. Pertinent examples of the
manifestation of sociology in the nursing profession and its
practice as currently experienced in South Africa are also
included. Activities allow students to debate issues arising from
sociology in the nursing context in group format in order to
promote creative thinking and comprehension. Nursing sociology
provides students with a clear, easy-to-understand sociological
text specifically oriented towards nursing, that emphasises
specific aspects and creativity within the nursing environment.
