Health Promotion in Midwifery : Principles and practice by Jan Bowden
Health Promotion in Midwifery explores the principles of health promotion within the practical context of midwifery. It clearly outlines and discusses the midwife’s role in health promotion, making it essential reading for all student and practising midwives, as well as clinical practitioners. Emphasizing the link between theory and practice, the second edition incorporates chapters on domestic violence, sexual health, breastfeeding, and mental health promotion. Text boxes make the text accessible and user-friendly and case studies and summaries put the material in practical context. Additional readings encourage readers to further research and reflection on their own practice. Throughout the book, the importance of the role of the midwife in health promotion is emphasized. This second edition brings together contributions from a variety of experienced practitioners."This book provides a comprehensive review of the basic principles of general health promotion and also explores issues within the wider public health role of the midwife.. The chapters are all laid out in a similar format which leads the reader into and through each topic in a logical progression ... This text, like the previous edition, will be an invaluable resource for midwives and students alike. It is also appropriate for other health professionals; particularly those working with women, public health nurses and sexual health workers."
