Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is a pocket guide to psychological problems encountered by nurses when treating hospitalized patients in medical-surgical settings. It evaluates psychosocial responses to the stresses of illness, illness of a family member, hospitalization, or alterations in mental health, and provides clinically relevant interventions for dealing with them. Also considered is the relationship of psychological manifestations to the underlying disease process, and behavioural patterns suggesting a need to refer the patient to a psychiatrist, psychologist or clinical nurse specialist.
