Focuses on the role of nursing professionals in promoting the self-management of their patients and becoming more patient-centered health professionals
Offers tips and tricks on how to motivate patients to a healthier lifestyle and strengthen their self-management

In the first chapters, it examines health at the micro-, meso- and macro-level, combined with epidemiological health indicators. The
