Communication Skills for Nursing Practice by Catherine Mccabe

Communication Skills for Nursing Practice by Catherine Mccabe

Communication Skills for Nursing Practice focuses on the application of communication theory to practice and provides students and junior nurses with the opportunity to study the subject in a comprehensive, skills-oriented way. Research evidence features extensively, with particular focus on the client's perspective, and the text builds on both psychological and nursing theories, to develop a patient-centred and therapeutic framework for communication. The result is a valuable new book that provides a helpful and practical introduction to the field.
