Full Description
"Aspects of Community Health" introduces a range of views on community nursing and health care. The book illustrates how nursing science can be applied to community health care and remains one of the most widely used in the field of nursing. This edition contains two extra chapters, with eight of the previous nine chapters having been completely reworked and updated. The language, content, and case studies are easily accessible to non-health care students (e.g. social science students with an interest in community health) without compromising the detail required by health care students.
