It provides a comprehensive and holistic approach helping nurses, therapists and social care professionals to better understand the impact of ageing upon the person and wider society. A unique feature of this text is the focus upon positive ageing and the attempt to dispel and challenge some of the myths, prejudices and negative attitudes that still prevail towards ageing and older people. A key objective of the book is to introduce practitioners to some of the neglected or under-addressed aspects of ageing such as spirituality, sexuality, and LGBT. Chapters are written in an engaging and interactive style and where appropriate draw upon case studies and scenarios to maximize engagement developing competence, by informing knowledge, attitudes and skills. The text introduces the practitioner to key dimensions of what it is to be a person, physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually and how these contribute to the ageing process and can enhance the quality of life of older people. Irrespective of whether one cares for older people in an acute hospital setting or domiciliary, home care, this text will be of relevance. The material and content transcend health and social care boundaries, providing valuable, contemporary evidence that can inform and shape practice. Above all this text will encourage reflection, dialogue and engagement with some fundamental aspects of ageing, challenging, attitudes, values and behaviour so that a more positive and balanced insight towards ageing is fostered. This book will ensure that self-awareness and professional practice are enriched and informed and the practitioner has a holistic understanding of ageing that will enable them to care for older people with compassion, dignity and respect. 410 0$aPerspectives in Nursing Management and Care for Older Adults,$x2522-8846 606 $aGeriatric nursing 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aPalliative treatment 606 $aNutrition 606 $aEthnology 606 $aGeriatric Care 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aPalliative Care 606 $aNutrition 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aInfermeria geriątrica$2thub 606 $aPsiquiatria geriątrica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrņnics$2thub 615 0$aGeriatric nursing. 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 0$aPalliative treatment. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aGeriatric Care. 615 24$aPsychiatry. 615 24$aPalliative Care. 615 24$aNutrition. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 7$aInfermeria geriątrica 615 7$aPsiquiatria geriątrica 676 $a610.7365 702 $aRykkje$b Linda 702 $aThornton$b Susan 702 $aMcSherry$b Wilfred 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483025003321 996 $aUnderstanding Ageing for Nurses and Therapists$91963564 997 $aUNINA
