Workplace Well-Being for Nurses, Health and Care Professionals (häftad, eng)

This essential guide for nurses and allied health and care professionals equips you with the tools and knowledge for self-care, mindfulness, and overall well-being, enabling you to continue providing compassionate care for others.

Caring for yourself enables you to provide the best care for others.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, communities'' health and well-being have been affected, especially those working in the caring professions, allied health professionals, support workers, social care professionals or charity and volunteer group members. For students and practitioners alike this book delves into important self-care research and how you can apply it to your personal and professional lives.

It is organised into three distinct well-being sections:

1. Physical (regular exercise, sleeping and eating well)
2. Emotional (clinical observation, counselling, peer support and relationships)
3. Psychological (financial well-being and mental health)

Written by a diverse group of contributors who work within the nursing and allied healthcare fields, this book shares their real-life experiences, expert knowledge, insights and relational-centred practices.

As it examines these three important pillars of self-care, it addresses the importance of establishing the relational aspects of caring as a process that requires as much attention as professional practice expertise.

Accessibly written, the book provides opportunities for self-reflection, and challenges assumptions and biases that can occur in professional education and training.

Practitioners and professionals can use this book as a personal self-help guide, as a learning tool with colleagues, or just as a discussion point with friends, helping strengthen their overall well-being, relationships and interactions with their peers and those in their care.
