This book supports healthcare students and professionals to understand and respond better to the learning needs of patients.

Focusing on how patients absorb and retain health information, it promotes person-centred care in order that patients can participate more meaningfully in their treatment and care. Frequently, patients are expected to grasp a massive amount of information in a short period of time, when they may already be feeling stressed and overwhelmed, in order to participate in their care. Rather than focusing on the process of giving information, this book pays attention to how information is received, understood and acted on by the people who need it. It helps healthcare practitioners to develop the pedagogical skills they need to successfully pass on essential knowledge and competencies. Developing a new theoretical framework and an accompanying toolbox of practical strategies, it brings together the concepts of: - Health Literacy - an ability to access, understand, appraise, and apply health information in a way that promotes health. - Sense of Coherence - which refers to how a person copes when they are ill, looking especially at ideas about comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. - Salutogenesis - keeps the reader's focus on what causes and maintains health, rather than disease.
