• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Essential Psychology for Nurses and Other Health Professionals" is an introductory psychology text for students of nursing and health care. Graham Russell underlines the importance of understanding key psychological concepts and theories in order to provide appropriate patient care in practice. The book is divided into four parts and examines: the basis of individual psychology and how "life events" impact on how we perceive ourselves; reactions to change, crisis, and loss; key issues for health promotion; and the links between psychological factors and physical well-being. Each section includes learning outcomes, chapter summaries, self-test questions and a guide to extended reading, as well as clinical scenarios and examples that demonstrate how psychology applies to practice across a wide range of situations, in both hospital and community settings.
