The
new edition of this leading text is an essential guide to promoting
healthy behaviour in a multi-cultural society, providing a holistic
stance that integrates both physical and mental health and wellbeing.
With
a comprehensive overview of the interplay between social class, gender,
ethnicity and individual health differences, the book also looks at key
lifestyle issues such as eating well, smoking, drinking alcohol and
safe sex, as well as the mechanisms for behavioural change. Each chapter
features engaging case studies, points for discussion and student
activities. Updated since the COVID-19 pandemic, the new edition also
discusses the effects of lockdowns on healthy behaviours.
An accessible and engaging text, the third edition of Promoting Healthy Behaviour
will continue to be essential reading for both students and
practitioners across nursing, public health and allied health
professions.
