Description
The tremendous forces of political and social change experienced by women in the 1980s have altered their perceptions, expectations - and demands. In the medical arena, this has meant the advancement of a more proactive role for women in the choice and direction of their individual health care. Documenting the shift toward increased personal responsibility, Women's Health Care analyzes myriad women's health issues in a sociological context. Opening with the presentation of vital demographics, the editors structure their initial exploration within specific age groups. The second section focuses on women's experiences as recipients of nursing care, both receiving treatment and seeking preventive care. The next section addresses the promotion of women's health in terms of current theory and research, including such topics as nutrition, exercise, and fertility control. In the final section, the authors consider several common health concerns that are specific to women. Essential reading for practicing nurses and advanced students in nursing, public health, and gender studies interested in women's health issues, Women's Health Care provides an encompassing study of this crucial area.
