Synopsis:
Patient & Person provides a practical guide to establishing and building relationships in nursing practice. It systematically addresses the theoretical, practical and personal dimensions of relating to patients and provides guidelines for determining when and how to act. It encourages meaningful nursing practice by focusing on patients as individuals. - A revised chapter on considering culture reflects contemporary thinking about culture and health, focusing on the clash of cultural values between healthcare organisations and patients.
- A revised chapter on challenging interpersonal encounters with patients addresses the increasingly reported issue of patient anger and aggression, looking at how nurses can approach responsive and assertive interpersonal skill development to best resolve challenging negotiations.
- Increased discussion of empathy throughout the text.
- Key concepts and research highlights are included in each chapter to add depth and context.
