Summary:
Lubkin's Chronic Illness: Impact and Intervention, Tenth Edition continues to distinguish itself as the only nursing text that systematically addresses not only the physical aspects of chronic illness, but also the psychosocial effects on individuals and families. Blending discussions of evidence-based practice interventions with deeply personal anecdotes, the author illustrates how patients, families, and caregivers can come to terms with the "new normal" of chronic conditions. The perfect reference for students and clinicians alike, the Tenth Edition presents the experiences of patients and families through the context of current research, nursing theories, and healthcare systems and policies. The text is divided into two parts: the first covers the impact of chronic illness on the individual and family, and the second covers the impact of the healthcare system. Major updates include thought-provoking case studies, detailed study questions, evidence-based practice summaries, and research highlights. In addition, the chapters covering the illness experience, psychosocial adjustment, loss, intimacy, palliative care, complementary integrative therapies, and culture and diversity have been extensively revised. New to the Tenth Edition, Updated research study highlights, Two new case studies in every chapter, New evidence-based practice boxes Book jacket.
