Full Description
This essential guide equips nurses and allied health care professionals with the tools and knowledge for self-care, mindfulness and overall well-being to enable providing compassionate care for others.
Written by a diverse group of contributors who work within the nursing and allied health care fields, this book shares their real-life experiences, expert knowledge, insights and relational-centred practices. Across 11 chapters, the book covers the distinctive pillars of well-being: Physical (regular exercise, sleeping and eating well), Emotional (clinical observation, counselling, peer support, relationships) and Psychological (financial well-being and mental health).
These three pillars of self-care allow for readers to address the importance of establishing relational aspects of caring, as a process that requires as much attention as professional practice expertise. For students and practitioners alike, this book delves into important self-care research and applications for healthy personal and sustainable professional lives.
