The psychology of nursing care (2nd ed.)

See all formats and editions

The study of psychology is a key part of nursing training.

Most books in the field are designed to teach the subject 'psychology' to nursing students. "The Psychology of Nursing Care" however uses nursing as the organizing framework.

It is built around nursing themes and focuses on those areas of psychology with direct relevance to nursing practice, omitting those with little bearing.

The result is an applied psychology of nursing that will be profoundly useful to pre-registration students.
