Publisher's Synopsis
Social and Behavioural Sciences for Nurses examines the subjects within the context of health care. The disciplines are treated as empirical sciences, and the book deals with new trends and developments to produce an up-to-date overview, offering a clear understanding of the subjects and their place in health care. The text emphasises the importance of the study of human behaviour and relationships in developing an integrated approach to care. It extends the study of these sciences into the development of social skills and the application of these skills as therapeutic interventions in patient care.
