Description: The primary objectives of the book are to impart knowledge and skills central to parent- child nursing practice, to foster the development of meaningful and creative ideas and approaches to the care of children, and to cultivate an appreciation of the complexities and wide dimensions of this special area within nursing. From the following pages, the reader will come to appreciate both the art and science of child health nursing.

This book also puts child health nursing in its proper perspective by offering a balanced approach, which includes the care of the well child and his family as well as the child with altered states of health. It represents a careful distillation of the variety of approaches that nurses, as members of today's health care team, employ. Use of the book will undoubtedly lead to a deeper awareness of the full scope of the pediatric nursing role.

Family-Centered Care of Children and Adolescents makes excellent use of the latest research. On the one hand it includes well- established findings and familiar concepts in child health nursing and related disciplines. Linkages have been established with numerous other fields, including sociology, anthropology and developmental psychology. In addition, extensive references to studies carried out within the last year or two, those less familiar to child health nurses, are included. These are of fundamental importance and serve to make the book valuable to both students of child health nursing and practicing child health nurses and educators.
Notes: Includes bibliographies and index.
