{"product_id":"9780627041778","title":"Nursing sociology 7\/e","description":"\u003cp\u003eSociology will always remain a dynamic and living social science due to its roots in the study of the human condition with reference to human action and interaction. Nursing sociology takes an in-depth look at society and how individuals function within it, within the health sector and specifically within the current nursing scenario, in order to provide a basis for more holistic patient care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNursing sociology presents a multicultural perspective, reflecting on South Africa's diversity and explaining complex sociological ideas in a way that is easy to follow. This revised edition includes sections that focus on contemporary debates on the social determinants of health and the contrast between biomedical and social models of health. It also touches on the impact of population growth and changes with a specific focus on the impact of urbanisation. It considers contemporary social issues such as gangs, cyber-bullying and the challenges faced by child-lead households, orphans, fostering, and other stressors confronting families such as ill-health and household dissolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents include the following:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-    An introduction to sociology for the nursing profession\u003cbr\u003e-    Culture \u003cbr\u003e-    Socialisation \u003cbr\u003e-    Social interaction, social structure, and social relationships \u003cbr\u003e-    Social stratification and mobility \u003cbr\u003e-    Social groups \u003cbr\u003e-    Group dynamics\u003cbr\u003e-    The family and domestic life\u003cbr\u003e-    Institutions and organisations \u003cbr\u003e-    Social change and social movements\u003cbr\u003e-    Social issues\u003cbr\u003eNursing sociology is aimed at nursing students as well as practising nurses who would like to improve their skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+D.+du+Toit\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eD. du Toit\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+E.+Le+Roux\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eE.
