En savoir plus sur le livre
This Open Access textbook is a significant resource for global health education, focusing on health promotion in patient care for bachelor's and master's students in various health care fields, as well as professionals and researchers. Authored by experts from seven countries, it begins with an exploration of health promotion theory and essential concepts. The book presents evidence-based health promotion strategies tailored to diverse populations, including those with chronic diseases, cancer, heart failure, dementia, mental disorders, long-term ICU patients, the elderly, families with newborns, and palliative care patients. It examines the integration of these approaches into primary care services, translating research into practical guidelines. While medical advancements are impressive, they often overlook the holistic needs of patients, who may feel scared, helpless, and lonely despite receiving treatment. Health promotion aims to enhance well-being even in the presence of illness, leading to improved patient outcomes such as shorter hospital stays and reduced re-hospitalization. This anthology uniquely connects health promotion with the salutogenic theory, broadening the understanding of health promotion beyond mere disease prevention to encompass a holistic view of health that includes physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.
