Riassunto

Midwives fulfil a major health promotion role in both the hospital and community settings, yet there are currently no specific texts available for them on this subject. Health Promotion in Midwifery explores the role of the midwife as a Health Educator, focusing on relevant models, the factors which influence health and topics including midwifery ethics, communication, counselling, the media and assertiveness.

Su questo libro

Recensione

A highly readable guide...a book that midwives have waited for, for a long time. I will certainly be making use of it in my own teaching and recommending it highly to both clinical and educational staff.
British Journal of Midwifery

...a readable and stimulating link between theory and practice. Unlike general textbooks on health promotion, it draws all its examples from midwifery...will inspire readers to evaluate and reflect on practice in their own units and develop effective health promotion interventions.
Midwifery Digest

The real joy of Helen Crafter's new book is that it is the first text which has been written specifically for midwifes. The clear structure of the book leads the reader gently from theoretical knowledge to practical application, and the use of graphic illustrations and photographs enhances the text...a book midwives have waited for, for a long time.
