Description

Understanding Power in Nursing Practice This book explores the dynamics of power relationships within society and their relevance to nursing practice. By taking a sociological perspective, it introduces readers to methods for analysing power and its impact on healthcare. The changing nature of the health service means that power relationships between professionals and clients are subject to significant change. Nurses must be able to understand these dynamics in order to empower themselves or their clients effectively. With clear demonstrations of how power analysis can inform nursing practice, this book provides a valuable resource for those looking to develop their skills in this area.
