Reviews
The book fills a much-needed gap in the literature around health promotion and what skills and knowledge the nursing student requires, to support studies into becoming a qualified nurse.
I would recommend this book to any students who want to understand health promotion, as this has helped me to understand basic principles and use activities to practice the newly learned skills.
-- Tyrone, Nursing Student, University of East Anglia.Health Promotion for Nursing Students is the perfect book for student nurses who wish to extend their knowledge in this topic areas. It highlights on why health promotion is so important and how it can benefit all client groups within different settings. This book is ideal for any student completing any assignment in this area as it not only increases the readers knowledge but also helps the reader to be critical and teaches the reader to evaluate.
This book is set out so that no matter what year of study you are in, you can gain knowledge on health promotion without being complexed by jargon or lengthy paragraphs. It use of case studies and reflective pieces for the reader to attempt, helps nursing students relate this into practice and become more reflective professionals.
