Produktbeschreibung
This book describes the latest advances in health education and patients' self-management, addressing core questions such as: How can you motivate a patient to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and how can you support their self-management? Though there is a broad consensus within the nursing profession on the importance of health promotion and the promotion of self-management, nursing professionals often struggle with the underlying theoretical and practical aspects involved, as well as the right type of intervention to use and how to evaluate the results.

The book departs from international trends, which primarily underline the importance of prevention and focus on such issues as the increase in the number of people with chronic health problems and co-morbidity, the empowerment of patients, and the technological developments in the health care system. In the first chapters, it examines health at the micro-, meso- and macro-level, combined with epidemiological health indicators. The following chapters focus on prevention, health promotion and self-management, while also broadly discussing prevention.

The book then turns to the development and purpose of, as well as plans for, health promotion and health education. The Intervention Mapping protocol is the starting point, addressing questions such as how to motivate a patient to other, healthier behavior. Subsequently, the field of health promotion is extended to disease prevention, patient education and self-management. On the basis of patients' needs, the book describes methods and interventions to promote self-management in detail. Self-management and chronic health problems are also highlighted, along with the patient's social network in connection with self-management and eHealth. Lastly, the book explores the relationship between nursing and health promotion, as well as disease prevention, nursing diagnoses, nursing interventions and care results.

Additionally, this edition includes two trainings on 'Promoting the self-management of the patient ' and on 'What is the role of the nursing professional in promoting self-management of the patient?'. This book is intended for bachelor and master courses for nursing professionals and is linked to the CanMeds competencies of health promoters and reflective evidence-based working professionals.

She studied health sciences, health promotion and health education at Maastricht University. She also followed the Master courses of the Master Educational Sciences at Utrecht University. Before this, she completed a Bachelor in Nursing with professional experience as a nurse in mental health and ambulatory home care. Her focus and interest is on integrating prevention through health promotion and health education in person-centred care. This involves the proper implementation of prevention, health education and health promotion, disease prevention and providing self-management support and lifestyle coaching by healthcare professionals. To properly implement prevention in healthcare, it is important that healthcare professionals take a professional view of person-centred care and the importance of shared-decision making, and take leadership in promoting health in the care-setting. That is why this book was written!

"This book covers different approaches to health management with a focus on prevention, health promotion, and patient self-management. ... This book appears to be intended for undergraduate and graduate nursing professionals and is suitable for both.
