Applied Psychology for Nurses
About this book
Applied Psychology for Nurses is a comprehensive guide authored by Mary F. Porter, designed to introduce nursing professionals and students to the essential principles of psychology as they relate to the practice of nursing. The book delves into the fundamental aspects of human behavior, mental processes, and emotional responses, emphasizing their direct application in patient care and the nurse-patient relationship. Through clear explanations and practical examples, Porter explores topics such as perception, attention, memory, emotion, and personality, highlighting how an understanding of these psychological concepts can enhance communication, empathy, and therapeutic effectiveness in nursing practice. The text also addresses the psychological needs of patients, the impact of illness on mental well-being, and the importance of recognizing individual differences in temperament and coping mechanisms. Special attention is given to the psychological challenges faced by both patients and nurses, including stress, anxiety, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Porter provides guidance on fostering a supportive environment, managing difficult behaviors, and promoting mental health and resilience among patients and healthcare teams. Applied Psychology for Nurses serves as both an educational resource and a practical manual, equipping nurses with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand and respond to the psychological dimensions of health and illness. Its accessible language and real-world focus make it an invaluable tool for enhancing patient care, improving nurse-patient interactions, and supporting the overall well-being of those in the nursing profession.
