  Nursing Models for Practice is an outstanding textbook with an international reputation, which has retained its popularity with students for more than a decade. The third edition continues to offer an excellent introduction to the background theory and application of models in nursing practice. In a world where nurses are being asked to be more and more explicit about the contribution they make to health care, the evidence on which they base their practice, the actions they take, and the outcomes they are working towards with patients all have to be justified. The use of well-developed theoretical models is therefore becoming even more important. Critically, they help not only to plan care, but also to explain to others exactly what it is that they are aiming to achieve. This new edition will be welcomed as a vital introduction to the world of models for students of nursing, whether at an introductory level or for those returning to study in order to update their knowledge.

  In a world where nurses are being asked to be more and more explicit about the contribution they make to health care, the evidence on which they base practice and the outcomes they are working towards with patients, the use of well developed theoretical models is becoming even more important. Critically they help not only to plan care but also to explain to others exactly what it is that they are aiming towards. This popular classic text provides a clear introduction to models and their application in clinical settings. The book has not been changed for the sake of change and where ideas have stood the test of time they have been retained with only slight modifications. However, attention has been paid to the increasing interest in, for example, emphasis on public accountability, ethical debates around prioritising, what is and is not health care, developments in nursing theory and a wider perspective on the analysis of models. This revision ensures that Nursing Models for Practice will continue to provide a lifeline for any nurses learning about, or updating their knowledge about models.
