Health Promotion for Nursing Students

Promoting and maintaining good mental, physical and behavioural health of individuals, communities and populations is a key role of the registered nurse. Understanding how to incorporate health promotion into clinical practice will be an important part of a nurse’s undergraduate studies and something they will take with them into professional life. This book will help students to understand the underlying theory behind health promotion and the different considerations for working with individuals, families and diverse communities. It will also demonstrate the practical skills needed in order to promote health and well-being effectively upon entering the practice environment.
