About the Book:
Social and Cognitive Pharmacy: Theories and
Case Studies is a practical handbook designed to
help students and practitioners with the applications of psycho-social
knowledge. Social and behavioural sciences are relatively new to pharmacy
education, having been introduced after 1989, While there are textbooks that
cover some aspects of social and behavioural knowledge relevant to pharmacy,
none provide an easy-to-use medium for understanding how to apply psycho-social
knowledge to everyday pharmacy issues. This book aims to do just that.
Chapters include:
·
The importance of sociology and
psychology to pharmacy practice
·
The generation of pharmacy-related
sociological and psychological knowledge
·
Underpinning psychological theories
·
Psychological models of illness behavior
and behavior change
·
Psychological Models of Illness Behaviour
and Behaviour Change
·
Communicating for Effective Outcomes
·
Patient Case Studies
·
Research Case Studies
The chapters focus on key concepts relating to social and
cognitive pharmacy, and each concludes with self-assessment questions. Case
studies aim to help readers move from mere knowledge acquisition and
comprehension to application of knowledge, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. |
