Sociology for Nurses has become a leading textbook and an
invaluable companion for students wishing to get to grips with how
sociology can positively transform professional nursing practice.
This thoroughly revised new edition maintains its commitment to
providing jargon-free explanations of sociological theories and
evidence to show how studying sociology can be useful in all
branches of nursing. Readers will develop a clear understanding of
what sociology is and why it is essential to practice, gain deeper
awareness of social issues such as gender, ethnicity, class and the
life course, and become more familiar with the social contexts of
health policy and nursing as a profession. With updates in every
chapter, the third edition includes a new chapter on research
methods, a reorganized collection of chapters on health policy,
extended coverage of long-term illness and disability, as well as
contemporary case studies on topical healthcare issues such as
dementia, the ‘obesity epidemic’ and recent attempts to
integrate health and social care. In addition, the book provides
clearly defined learning aims, a useful glossary of sociological
concepts, structured activities and questions for discussion, and
annotated suggestions for further reading. The editors and
contributing authors to the book have a wealth of experience
teaching sociology to nurses at diploma and degree pre-registration
and post-registration levels. Their book will continue to spark
interest and debate among all student nurses, particularly those
approaching sociology for the first time. Please visit the
