Description
Nurse as Educator: Principles of Teaching and Learning for Nursing Practice, 6th Edition
Patient teaching, health education and health promotion are not add-ons to nursing work — they are a large part of it, whatever position a nurse holds. Susan Bastable, an award-winning educator, built this text around that reality, and it has become the best-selling title in its field as a result.
The book’s distinguishing feature is its breadth of audience. Rather than treating patient education and student instruction as separate disciplines, it develops the underlying principles of teaching and learning and then applies them across contexts, which is why it works equally well in an undergraduate course and a graduate nurse-educator programme.
What the Book Covers
- Principles of teaching and learning — learning theories and how they translate into practice.
- Assessing the learner — readiness, motivation, literacy and the barriers that quietly undermine teaching.
- Developmental stages — how teaching must change for children, adults and older adults.
- Diverse learners — culture, language, and teaching people with disabilities.
- Instructional methods and materials, including technology in health education.
- Evaluation — measuring whether the teaching actually worked.
- Behavioural objectives, ethics and legal considerations in health education.
Who It Is For
- Undergraduate nursing students taking a teaching and learning course.
- Graduate students in nurse educator tracks.
- Clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners with patient-education responsibilities.
