Geriatric nursing

Gerontological Care and Reflective Practice: Person-Centered and Caring Dimensions focuses on the significance of caring and humanistic approaches towards the health and wellbeing of older adults, guided by the World Health Organization's broad definition of health. With an emphasis on holistic nursing and person-centered care, the text addresses a variety of interwoven themes such as diversity, equity, inclusion, health literacy, healthcare disparity, and the importance of cultural and Indigenous beliefs in healing practices. Additionally, it discusses human dignity and empathy through life's transitions, including end-of-life care.

The book presents theoretical insights, including frameworks and models, and practical applications through exercises, case studies, and evidence-based tools. The instructional design is based on adult learning principles, which treat learners as autonomous individuals with unique knowledge and life experiences. The book lays out a path that guides readers from fundamental human aspects of aging to more complex concepts with a strong grounding in real-world experiences.

Gerontological Care and Reflective Practice is designed to help readers elevate the quality of life for older adults and encourages informed decision-making align with personal health goals. The book is intended for pre-licensure nursing students and can also be used by ancillary healthcare personnel, family caregivers, and community organizations servicing older adults.
