About this title

Synopsis

"The reality is that there is still no provision for services or programs to improve men's health. The people who make the decisions about funding are men and these men are often unwilling to confront the issues in men's health". What is there about men that makes them careless of their own health? Men die younger than women and they often die violently or by their own hand. Are men forced into situations which damage their health? No one book can provide a complete answer, but this book starts at the beginning by exploring the question. This book spotlights the overlooked but vital issues involved in men's health and wellbeing. Nurses are a group well placed to promote good health practice for men - and nurses can spearhead a change in men's attitude to self-care. But the book is not just an instructive text for nurses, it also tells men's stories: stories of facing death but triumphing, of looking at life through new eyes and realising that the health of men is a barometer of society's health. Old men, young men, fathers and sons - this book is about all of them and about how nurses can make their lives better.
