Altered Body Image: The Nurse's Role


Add your own review!

Overview

This handbook for nurses attempts to explain how accident, disease and surgery (such as mastectomy and burns) can effect patients' image of their body and cause psychological stress. The nurse is seen as having a key role in combatting the shock and possible despair in such cases. The book is intended for nurses at all levels to raise their awareness of the problems of altered body image and provide guidance on how best to care for, communicate with and counsel patients and their relatives. This second edition has been revised and updated and new chapters are included on: measuring body image; cultural issues; spinal cord injury; and body image and HIV/AIDS.
