Inhaltsangabe

Knowledge used in nursing practice is drawn from a large number of disciplines. This innovative book brings together much of this material from scattered sources which have hitherto been difficult to locate. Specialists and practitioners discuss current thinking within the boundaries of each subject area. They then interpret the implications of this for nursing practice within increasingly multi-disciplinary settings. The aim of the book is to enable readers at different levels of experience to acquire a basic understanding of the various and often confusing approaches that can be taken in exploring human nature and health, whether from a biological, sociological or psychological perspective. The book should help them to identify ways in which knowledge they acquire can be applied constructively in their work and in turn generate new knowledge for nursing.

Reseña del editor

While an understanding of the knowledge which nurses use in practice is rapidly growing there is still much to be learned from exploring the contribution which related disciplines can offer. Since each discipline has its own way of developing its
knowledge base it is important for nurses to grasp the underlying manner in which they tackle their work. This book brings together material about many of these disciplines which is normally scattered amongst a wide range of sources. It is presented in a manner which is both accessible and relevant to nursing practice and education. It will help nurses to identify ways in which the knowledge they acquire through study or experience can be used constructively to develop the service they offer patients.
The book offers insight into some of the fundamental changes which are occurring in nursing attitudes and thinking. It will provide stimulating reading and discussion material for students on Project 2000, degree and post-registration courses as well
as for practitioners who wish to keep at the forefront of a profession which is undergoing continuing and dramatic change.
