Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Sociology of Health and Health Care is an introductory textbook that explains the complexities of health sociology in a very clear and simple manner. Written in an accessible style, the book offers an overview of each subject area and provides concise summaries of key topics, which enable the student to build a sound understanding of the significance of sociology in health care. The second edition of this successful title has been substantially revised and updated by editors and contributors who are experienced teachers in the fields of sociology and nursing. The book has been considerably expanded and chapters on Health Policy and Nursing as a Profession have been completely rewritten with a new focus on changing work conditions. This new edition discusses the changing context of health care and considers the implications for nurses of health promotion, community care, managerialism, consumerism and the development of market economics in health care.
