Description
Elsevier Familieshealth & Illness Perspectives On Coping And Intervention 1993 Edition by Carol Bisby Danielson, B. Hamel-Bissell, P. Winstead-Fry
This book explores the intricate relationships between health, illness and families and the nurse's integral role in this. Designed to help the nurse understand the development of families' varied responses to the stress of illness, the book presents practical interventions needed to prevent and decrease stress during illness. It explores the importance, viability, benefits and implementation of family-oriented interventions in the promotion of healing and treatment of both physical and mental health problems. The authors stress the need to better understand the critical ways in which family relationships influence such behaviour.
