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, Womens Health Care analyzes myriad womens 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 womens experiences as recipients of nursing care, both as patients receiving treatment and as "well" patients seeking preventive care. The next section addresses the promotion of womens health--including such topics as nutrition, exercise, and fertility control--in terms of current theory and research. In the final section, the authors consider several health concerns that are specific to women, but common among them. Essential reading for practicing nurses and advanced students in nursing, public health, and gender studies interested in womens health issues, Womens Health Care provides an encompassing study of this crucial area. "An excellent guide to all aspects of womens health." --The Bookwatch "An impressive collection showing conclusively that womens health can no longer be viewed as some kind of minor deviation from the norm of mens health. The range of topics covered in the 29 chapters is immense, as one would expect a book of over 700 pages, but this breadth is never achieved at the expense of detailed research-based exploration and exposition of the issues. The scope is a real strength in that there are discursive socio-political, feminist and philosophical considerations to compliment the more clinical aspects of womens health discussed. . . . This must be the most comprehensive and vital book on womens health today. It should be in every nursing library, ward or clinic where women are cared for and in the hands of every nurse practicing in this area." --Nursing Times
