patient focused care As changes in technology, policy and management put an increasing emphasis on processes and procedures in nursing and health care, how do we continue to make room for compassion, the ancient human value that calls most nurses to the profession? In Spiritual Care in Everyday Nursing Practice, Janice Clarke argues that it is compassionate care of the whole person, body and soul, which is at the heart of nursing practice that values the individual and respects their dignity. Rather than seeing spiritual care as an addition to what nurses already do, this new approach considers it a natural part of compassionate care which doesn’t present the nurse with an extra ambiguous burden to deal with.
Spiritual Care in Everyday Nursing Practice A New Approach Janice Clarke, is a Nurse, Midwife and Senior Lecturer for the Institute of Health and Society, University of Worcester, UK. She is also on the board of British Association for the Study of Spirituality. Janice has published and researched critiques of the current approach to spiritual care for many years.
10
A brief historical introduction to the concept of spirituality, Clarke examines the ways in which our spiritual life - a source of strength and meaning - can be influenced by factors such as age, illness and suffering, and mental illness, as well as our religious beliefs. Providing a practical guide to talking about and working with spirituality, she explores how nurses might imbue all their practice including the physical aspects of care - from use of touch, to helping patients to move, bathe and eat - with an attention to spiritual needs. A timely, accessible and practical introduction to a concept that is under-explored in contemporary nursing literature, this book will be of great value to students and professionals alike.

John Cromby, Senior Lecturer, Loughborough University, UK, David Harper, Reader, University of East London, UK and Paula Reavey, Professor of Psychology, London South Bank University, UK
Over-reliance on biological models in mental health practice has resulted in growing discontent from practitioners and service users, who know that social factors also have a major impact on people’s mental health. Social approaches enable practitioners to promote recovery in ways that move beyond the limitations of biomedical treatments.
‘This book is perfect for anybody who wants to understand - and do something about - psychological distress without falling into the fallacies of the disease model of mental illness. We need to move assertively beyond criticism and offer a genuine alternative to diagnosis and medication...and this book does exactly that.’ Peter Kinderman, University of Liverpool, UK
Championing a range of innovative approaches, this timely book offers a holistic model for understanding and responding to mental distress. It places mental health within its broader social context, encouraging engagement with not just the person experiencing mental distress, but also their family and wider social world.
The first mainstream text to reconsider the traditional emphasis for what is commonly known as ‘abnormal psychology’. Providing a comprehensive account of mental distress, this text challenges our preconceptions about what we think we know about mental health. Includes a foreword by award winning Richard Bentall and a chapter from service users.

Nursing Research Principles, Process and Issues 2nd edition
Coming soon
Kader Parahoo, Professor of Nursing and Health Research, School of Nursing and Institute of Nursing Research, University of Ulster, UK ‘Kader Parahoo’s text offers a clear and thorough introduction to the many principles and processes involved in research. Nursing Research: Principles, Process and Issues is excellent and has much to offer practitioners from all clinical disciplines. This work clearly reflects how attitudes and approaches to research have changed since the first edition was published. Most, if not all, researchers will agree that they need one good research methodology text on their shelves, and it is increasingly becoming the case that clinicians also need to have a research text available to them in their evidence-based working lives. This revised edition, like its predecesor, meets the needs of both groups - an achievement that is managed by only a few of the great many research texts available. This book is easy to read for novice researchers and students, and yet is also covers the material in sufficient depth to be of value to seasoned researchers and experienced clinicians. I would recommend this book to all involved in health and social care research - and not only to nurses.’ - Leslie Gelling, Times Higher Education Supplement This popular text provides a clear introduction to the principles and processes of nursing research. It is a comprehensive and well-trusted text which explains and guides its readers. Contents: Research and Nursing Practice • Knowledge, Science and Research • Quantitative Research • Qualitative Research • Combining Quantitative and Qualitative Methods • The Research Process and Ethical Issues • Literature Reviews • Research & Theory • Research Questions and Operational Definitions • Research Designs • Experiments • Samples and Sampling • Questionnaires • Interviews • Observations • Making Sense of Data • Evaluating Research Studies • Utilising Research in Clinical Practice • Evidence Based Practice 496pp Paperback Ebook
