Child, youth and family health : strengthening communities
"This book aims to: situate child and family health and nursing within the environmental, social, economic and political contexts; acknowledge diversity and difference as they influence child and family health and health care; critically analyse contemporary approaches to child and family health promotion; provide a practice development framework for improving effectiveness in child, youth and family nursing; provide evaluative tools for assessing health-promoting programs. This book takes a critical inquiry approach to encourage and facilitate analysis and critique of policy, practice and evidence. It is client-focused, change-focused and works from practice outward to consider education, service-planning, leadership and strategy as they affect practice."--Provided by publisher
