Health promotion, both as a concept and as practice, is now firmly fixed on the nursing agenda. However, to date, most health promotion input to nurses has been directed at those working in community groups. This practical handbook is aimed specifically at nurses working in a hospital environment.

Using the same framework for each specific area, this section discusses the problem, the associated health risks, the physiological and psychological effects, healthier alternatives and hospital policies related to both patients and staff. The final section is a comprehensive source of further information aimed at all those with an interest in health promotion.
