Sociology is a continually evolving field, rooted in the study of human conditions and interactions. Nursing Sociology specifically focuses on understanding how individuals function within society, particularly within the healthcare sector, to provide holistic care to patients. This subject helps nursing professionals gain a deeper understanding of societal factors affecting individuals’ health and how these factors influence their interactions and behaviour within healthcare settings.
This book offers insights into how sociology can improve nursing practices by emphasising the interconnectedness of health, society, and the role of nursing in addressing broader social issues.
