Review
"A good purchase for those specialising in the nursing of older people." (Primary Health Care)
"This is a useful book for student nurses and those wishing to gain a fundamental understanding of mental health needs in older people." (Journal of Community Nursing)
“Clear, precise and easy to follow…I am really interested in working with the older adult and found this book great to read and full of useful information. This book will be great reference for now and after I am finished with my training.” (Daniel Jenks; 3rd year nursing student; University of West Scotland)
Product Description
Divided into five sections, Older People and Mental Health Nursing first explores the background, historical perspectives and influences on mental health care in later life. It then looks at the ethical and legal issues involved, therapeutic relationships, and the values underpinning support and care. Part three focuses on aspects which have traditionally been neglected in mental health care, including culture, religion and sexuality. Part four details specific mental health issues for older people, including delirium, depression, and dementia. The final section explores future trends in older people’s mental health and offers ideas on how nursing is developing, and could develop, to address these.
- Offers a practical evidence–based guide to the care of older people with mental health conditions
