Product Description

Review
"The material is presented in a clear, accessible and uncomplicated format. It is helpful to readers who have little knowledge of sociology and its jargon, or how sociological theory connects to nursing practice ... The book is a useful addition to pre–registration nursing student programmes in promoting the importance of sociology and social policy, and how such policies link to nursing practice."

Nursing Standard

‘This is a much needed sociology textbook for student nurses of all four branches of nursing. It makes sociological theories accessible and brings the subject alive through the use of relevant exercises and activities.’

Anne Llewellyn, Leeds Metropolitan University

Sociology for Nurses is a really useful introduction for health care students which enables those new to the study of sociology to understand and make sense of concepts and ideas in their chosen area of practice.′

Jane Alderton, University of Brighton



Product Description
Nurses often ask:

– What is sociology?
– Why do I need sociology to be a nurse?
– What′s the point of studying it?

This major new textbook answers these questions. It focuses on the relevance of sociology to contemporary nursing practice. Clearly written, and carefully illustrated, the book uses jargon–free explanations of sociological theories and evidence to show how studying sociology can be useful in all branches of professional nursing practice.

In addition, the book provides:

– clearly defined learning aims
– a useful glossary of sociological concepts
– structured activities and questions for discussion
– annontated suggestions for further reading

Both editors have a wealth of experience teaching sociology to nurses at diploma and degree pre–registration and post–registration levels. Their book will spark interest and debate amongst all student nurses, particularly those approaching sociology for the first time.

5.0 out of 5 stars really easy to read and understand, 13 Feb 2008
i was recommended this book by my sociology lecturer, i bought it not knowing what to expect. When it arrived i found it was so easy to read, you can literally read it like a novel from start to finish. There is also a handy glossary at the side of the page for words which are more difficult to understand than others. I only used this book for studying (cramming)my exam and i managed to write more than i ever thought i knew and passed. Definately if you need one sociology book-this is the one.
