Strengths-Based Nursing Care: Health and Healing for Person and Family  is now available in French ,Spanish and Portuguese

The following publications look at three different facets of Strengths-Based Nursing, in both educational and clinical environments: SBN-Care, SBN-Leadership & SBN-Pedagogy.

This is the first book that sets out the foundations of Strengths-Based Nursing Care (SBC) as an approach to practice to promote health and facilitate healing for persons and families. It is also the first practical guide for nurses on how to incorporate the knowledge, skills, and tools of SBC into everyday practice. The text builds on and further develops concepts in a model developed by the prestigious McGill University Nursing Program. SBC signifies a paradigm shift in nursing care from a model based on problems, deficits, and pathology to an approach to care that focuses on individual, family, and community strengths as a cornerstone of effective nursing care. The testimony of 46 nurses demonstrates how SBC can be effectively used in multiple settings across the lifespan.
