Comprehensive survey of the health communication discipline
authored by top scholars in the field. A useful text for use both
in graduate seminars in health communication and as a desk
reference for career researchers and government and NGO health
professionals.
This Handbook represents the first comprehensive collection of
research on communication and people with disabilities. The editors
have brought together original contributions focusing on the
identity, social, and relationship adjustments faced by people with
disabilities and those with whom they relate. Essays report on
topics across the communication spectrum--interpersonal and
relationship issues, people with disabilities in organizational
settings, disability and culture, media and technologies,
communication issues as they impact specific types of
disabilities--and establish a future agenda for communication and
disability research. Each chapter provides a state-of-the-art
literature review, practical applications of the material, and
keywords and discussion questions to facilitate classroom use. In
providing an outlet for current research on communication and
disability issues, this unique collection contributes to the lives
of people with and without disabilities, helping them to improve
their own communication and relationships. Intended for readers in
communication, psychology, sociology, rehabilitation, social work,
special education, gerontology, and related disciplines, this
handbook is certain to augment further theory and research, as well
as offer insights for both personal and professional relationships.
This special issue originated from a panel at the annual conference
of the International Communication Association. The articles
utilize various coding systems, including the Roter Interaction
Analysis System, Verbal Response Mode, McNeilis Coordination and
Competence System, and Relational Control Coding. This issue's goal
is to provide a resource that will make it easier for future
researchers to select a coding scheme that is most appropriate for
the purpose of a particular research project. It illuminates the
process of studying health care provider-patient interaction and
facilitates decision making for future researchers.
This text employs a communication perspective to examine the aging
process and the ability of individuals to adapt successfully to
aging. It continues the groundbreaking work of the first edition,
emphasizing a life-span approach toward understanding the social
interaction that occurs during later life. The edition provides a
comprehensive update on the existing and emerging research within
communication and aging studies and considers such topics as
notions of successful aging, positive and negative stereotypes
toward older adults, and health communication issues. It raises
awareness of the barriers facing elderly people in conversation and
the importance such conversations have in elderly people's lives.
The impact of nonrelational processes, such as hearing loss, are
considered as they impact relationships with others and affect the
ability to age successfully.
The book is organized into 14 chapters. Each chapter is written so
that the reader is presented with an exhaustive review of the
pertinent and recent literature from the social sciences. As in the
first edition, when the literature is empirically based, the
communicative ramifications are then discussed.
Readers of this volume will gain greater understanding of the
importance of their communicative relationships and how significant
they remain across the life span. Developed for students in
communication, psychology, nursing, social gerontology, sociology,
and related areas, "Communication and Aging" provides important
insights on communication to all who are affected by the aging
process.
