Applied Social Science for Nursing Students (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781529797046)

What are the social sciences and how are they relevant to nursing? How can I apply them to my practice?
This book introduces the essential social science that you need in order to register and practice effectively as a nurse. Contributions from the social sciences enable you to better understand the world view of your patients and service users, as well as the wider social, cultural and political landscape in which they live and you provide care. This book will help you apply this knowledge to your everyday practice. Be it providing holistic person-centred care, advocating for your patients and their communities, or contributing to service improvement, understanding the social sciences is key to a nursing career that truly makes a difference.
