There currently is no clinical reference book that nurses can use for health promotion in general and health promotion for wellness in particular. Having such a reference is especially pertinent to nurses who learned about health promotion in academic nursing programs, but did not learn about health promotion in the broader context of promoting wellness.
Since Florence Nightingale, nurses have considered health promotion interventions - particularly patient education -- as an essential component of nursing care. Historically, these interventions traditionally focused on physical health concerns, such as nutrition, exercise, and fresh air, and more recently, on immunisations, and screening for disease (e.g., cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease). Because health promotion has expanded to include ""wellness,"" nurses now address issues related to broader aspects, such as stress reduction, body-mind connectedness, and self-responsibility.
At the same time that wellness has become an important focus of care, health care providers increasingly are emphasising cost effectiveness and use of advanced technology. As a result of these concurrent trends, nurses experience high levels of job-related stress and have less time to promote patient wellness as an integral part of their care, even though they recognise its importance. In addition, nurses increasingly recognise that job-related pressures negatively affect them personally and they are looking for ways to incorporate wellness in their work and personal experiences.
Fast Facts for Health Promotion for Wellness (FF HP) fills the need for an easy-to-use clinical reference that delivers a quick-access reference on ways to incorporate wellness into their work and throughout their daily lives.
Carol A. Miller, MSN, RN-BC is an independent care manager at Care & Counseling, where she focuses on promoting wellness for clients and their families. She has served many roles during several decades of her nursing career, including two years as a spokesperson for a national educational campaign about issues related to caregiving. Ms. Miller is author of Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults 6e (2012/LWW) and Nurse's Toolbook for Promoting Wellness (2007/McGraw-Hill rights reverted). Nursing for Wellness received the 1990 AJN Book of the Year Award in Gerontological Nursing and has been published in three foreign editions.
