Foreword
During my long and ongoing ‘crusade’ to champion all things health promotion for nurses and nursing – several things have remained a constant to me. One is a distinct lack of nursing-specific quality texts that encompass how, why and where health promotion should most distinctly occur. While I have espoused the validity of ‘seamless services’, where health promotion crosses the traditional divide of acute and community provision, most will acknowledge that the majority of health promotion activity occurs in the community setting – and within a public health context. With the advent of this new edition the above-mentioned issues are addressed. It is a quality text aimed primarily at nurses with an interest in public health. Although much of the book is aimed at nurses working in a community environment, it has relevance for all nurses wherever they work.
Another constant for me has been the ability (or lack of it) for most nurses to both understand and engage in the political landscape that underpins most health promotion practice ( Whitehead, 2003a and Whitehead, 2003b ). Accompanying this, I have often been bemused by nursing's unwillingness to acknowledge and embrace the wider dimensions of health promotion that are more relevant for the practice of today's community-based health professionals ( Whitehead, 2004 , Whitehead, 2005 , Whitehead, 2006 , Whitehead, 2007 and Whitehead, 2008 ). This book directly faces up to those challenges. It espouses a much-needed awareness of the changing landscape of primary healthcare and public health. In doing so, it addresses the fundamental principles of a required wider agenda for health promotion through exploring dimensions such as population health, health and social policy and social capital – all correctly aligned to a socio-ecological model of practice. More importantly, this book does all
