Recenzii
"Health promotion is more important than ever and this book is an informative and practical companion for nurses that provides a solid foundation to help them to help their patients change their lifestyles for the better." – Grant Byrne, Nursing Standard, Vol. 28 No. 52, August 27
"Health promotion is more important than ever and this book is an informative and practical companion for nurses that provides a solid foundation to help them to help their patients change their lifestyles for the better." – Grant Byrne, Nursing Standard, Vol. 28 No. 52, August 27
"A key strength of this book is the robust evidence base provided without making the text dry or academic. I found it to be an engaging page-turner with answers to a lot of the practical questions health promotion throws up for health practitioners on a daily basis when dealing with patients and planning health promotion strategies. This book excels in demonstrating how all health practitioners can utilize the cognitive-behavioural approach in everyday practice by understanding the psychology of patients to try and nudge their key health behaviours in the right direction. The authors have clearly spent a lot of time engaging with health professionals and understanding their psychology to approaching these topics in clinical practice, in addition to tailoring the book to concisely reflect their comprehensive research in this area. This book succeeds in the stated aim of providing a practical and informative guide for the healthcare practitioners on a topic that now impacts the entire population, directly or indirectly. It does equip the occupational health professional with the knowledge and tools to persuade organizations, colleagues and patients to prioritize addressing health behaviours in a subtler and more effective manner, both in consultations and in designing health promotion campaigns. It is certainly worth an occupational health department purchasing a text which will provide numerous intangible benefits for the healthcare practitioners and the patients they interact with." – Occupational Medicine
