Description
This book has been written specifically for students of B.Sc Nursing as per their new syllabus by the Indian Nursing Council (INC).
Health is not simply the absence of disease—it includes mental and social well being. This book thus discusses the role played by social and cultural factors in health. The role of the family and how healthy socialization and strong positive relationships are essential for developing a healthy personality have been elaborated upon. The book also gives information about the structure of Indian society, social change, social mobility, social processes and social control. The book throws light on the various social problems which plague Indian society and are a cause of poor mental health. The book also includes the discussion on health problems of the rural, urban and tribal communities as well as the Welfare programs of the Government to help the underprivileged.
The sociological knowledge provided in the book will help nurses to relate to the culture and problems of the different patients that they encounter and care for in the community and the healthcare system.
