About this ebook
'Men's Health' will play a crucial role in promoting men's health and well-being, addressing health disparities and empowering men to prioritise their health and seek the care they need. There are manifold reasons why it is important to have a dedicated text focused on men's health care. Among others: -Men have specific health concerns and conditions that may differ from those of women. Including issues such as prostate health, mental health issues, erectile dysfunction and access to service. These are common in men and require tailored approaches to prevention, diagnosis and treatment. -Men often face disparities in health outcomes in comparison with women. They are less likely to seek health care, have higher rates of certain chronic conditions including heart disease and diabetes and have a shorter life expectancy on average. 'Men's Health' addresses these disparities and provides strategies to improve men's health outcomes. -Men engage less in preventive health behaviours such as regular check-ups, screenings and vaccinations. This new title emphasises the importance of preventive care and provides guidance on recommended screenings and health-promoting behaviours. -Men may be less likely to seek help for mental health issues due to stigma or social expectations. 'Men's Health' will help raise awareness about mental health concerns in men. The book provides information to health care providers on available resources and support services and, through them, encourages men to prioritise their mental well-being. Providing nurses and other healthcare workers with access to accurate, dedicated and comprehensive health information empowers them to help men to take control of their health and make informed decisions. This important new text will be indispensable for nurses and allied healthcare professionals, and will appeal to students needing to increase their knowledge in the field of men's health.• Underpinned by the best available evidence • Emphasises the need for interdisciplinary care provision • Predominantly reflects concerns associated with men's health in the UK • Alignment with UK pre-reg and post-reg curricula • Provides real-life case studies and clinical scenarios that illustrate key concepts in men's health. • Include discussion questions and prompts for reflection to help readers apply their knowledge to clinical practices. • Presents care specific boxes throughout • Breaks out specific issues and populations: • People with a learning disability • Adolescent • Adulthood • Middle age • Older people • Veterans • Incarcerated people • Homeless • Asylum • Vulnerability • Legal, ethical, professional • Medicine management • Public health/health promotion • Investigations • Procedures • Emphasises the need to relate the theory to practice, with examples accordingly
