Understanding Person-Centred Care for Nursing Associates
Understanding how to deliver effective, person-centred care is vital for a future career as a Nursing Associate. In this book, trainee nursing associates are introduced to the principles of person-centred care, with case studies from a variety of healthcare settings and guidance on caring for different patient groups, from acute care to long-term and palliative care. This allows TNAs to see how the theory can be directly applied to their daily practice, regardless of where they work. The book also covers key issues in relation to providing care, such as inclusivity, ethics, legal issues, and health inequalities.
Key features:
- Fully mapped to the new NMC standards of proficiency for nursing associates (2018)
- Case studies, activities and other learning features help TNAs understand the theory and apply it to practice
- Designed around a Nursing Associate course, this book demonstrates how person-centred care feeds into each core module
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Understanding Nursing Associate Practice series (UNAP) is a new collection of books uniquely designed to support trainee Nursing Associates throughout their training and into a professional career.
I am thrilled to see this text written specifically for Nursing Associates. Aligning to the NMC Standards of Proficiency and with reference to a wide variety of patient/client considerations across the lifespan, this is an invaluable read for any Nursing Associate student embarking on their educational journey.
Developing the Nursing Associate Programme at the moment and looking at all resources to support the modules.
Excellent book. Pity the e-version is only available through a hefty subscription.
This book presents a comprehensive, culturally appropriate view of person centred care. It is easy to understand and written at a level that is relevant to the learning needs of Nursing Associate students. The examples used are applicable to practice and correlated to the NMC Code of Conduct. A very useful book for students to use for their essay and for classroom discussion. One of the biggest selling point of the book is, it can be easily understood by readers who are not native English speakers.
Clear language that students will understand.
Linked well to NMC standards and gives context with case studies
Students from a range of backgrounds can relate to this text and the practical scenarios within
Good basic information, however use of Mind Tools as a reference source has undermined adoption; we discourage apprentices from using on-line sources that may not be academically robust.
Liked the mapping to the NMC standards for Nursing Associate but would have been enhanced by also mapping the apprenticeship standard (Ofsted requires integration into curriculum)..
