Health Literacy in Nursing Book Awarded 3rd Place in AJN 2015 Book of the Year Awards

I am pleased to announce that my most recent book, Health Literacy in Nursing: Providing Person-Centered Care, has been awarded third place, in the category of Nursing Management and Leadership, in the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) 2015 Book of the Year Awards.

This prestigious competition has been recognizing and awarding the best in nursing publishing since 1969. The AJN Book of the Year program garners the attention of nurses, faculty, researchers, and librarians in hospitals and universities, and many make book-purchasing decisions based upon this award program.

Joanne Disch, PhD, RN, FAAN, professor ad honorem at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, was among the AJN panel of judges, and shared the following:

"This text provides a wealth of information on the history, multiple definitions, and models of health literacy; the implications of low health literacy; and the challenges of delivering person-centered care when illiteracy from any cause is present...the content would be useful to anyone working in health careā€”and there should be copies dog-eared from use in every clinical facility."

I wrote this textbook to promote verbal and written communication strategies that nurses can use to effectively meet the individualized needs of diverse patient populations. It provides key strategies for creating culturally appropriate written materials in plain language that patients can read and follow when they arrive home.

If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the book, Springer Publishing Company is currently offering 20% off. Click through to the order form

Thank you for sharing in this exciting news with me!
