Additional Details
Chronic illness continues to be the leading cause of death and disability in adults in the United States. It impacts annual healthcare costs and significantly contributes to caregiver fatigue. Lubkin’s Chronic Illness: Impact and Intervention, Eleventh Edition provides a solid foundation for nursing students by teaching them the skills and knowledge they need to care for both patients and families impacted by chronic illness. The text takes a holistic and patient-centric approach in addressing the acute needs of patients and their families as they navigate the challenges of chronic illness. The hallmark feature of this text remains its keen focus on the psychosocial issues experienced by both the individual and families involved, an area of care that is often overlooked.
The Eleventh Edition has been substantially revised and will focus on population health including new and updated content on various populations. To enhance the learning experience, the author features real-life journal entries from both patients and caregivers providing a meaningful way for students to truly understand chronic illness from each unique perspective.
