Health Promotion for Nursing Students cover

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.

Key features

  • Mapped to the new NMC standards of proficiency for registered nurses (2018)
  • Case studies, activities and other learning features help students translate the theory to practice
  • Focus on practical skills to help guide daily practice

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.
