Nurse's Handbook of Complementary Therapies by Denise F Rankin-Box

The first section of this handbook identifies key areas that nurses should consider when attempting to successfully integrate complementary therapies into health care practice. These include choosing a therapy, managing change in the workplace, policy development and research issues to be aware of when critically evaluating or planning research studies. Section two of the handbook is designed as a guide to provide nurses with a concise, substantiated introduction to the complementary therapies most commonly used in nursing practice. Throughout the text, the implications for nursing practice are paramount, and each therapy identifies both indications and contraindications for use. The book is presented as a guide to key issues that are central in the debate concerning complementary therapies in nursing practice. The intention is to facilitate future studies and research. The book is designed to be a working text to be carried around, with at-a-glance boxes highlighting key issues and with some blank pages at the back for notes.
