| Synopsis: |
The relationship between social support and health has attracted tremendous research interest during the past few decades. This book is the newest addition to the literature with an emphasis on the study of diverse populations from a global perspective. Aiming at theoretical and methodological advancement, it also makes a significant contribution by addressing some fundamental issues in social and behavioural sciences inquiry. The book is written for everyone who is interested in gaining an international (particularly East-West) knowledge of the subject, with a masterful understanding of the general issues involved. It contains detailed case studies as well as comparative material along with thought-provoking theoretical and methodological efforts to guide research. Policy and practice can also benefit from culture- and population-specific knowledge about the issues and strategies related to the provision of social support. For students in health and social-behavioural science fields, the book may serve as a comprehensive introduction and ongoing guide to research on social support and health.It should be useful for professors, researchers, and practitioners in social medicine, public health, nursing, gerontology, social work/welfare, psychology, social psychiatry/mental health, sociology, public policy, and administration-management sciences as a key reference in social support and health research. Other relevant fields include international studies, developmental studies, cultural study, immigration study, womens study, family studies, community studies, urban studies, comparative social and health research, and research methods. Many in these fields share an interest in health promotion and maintenance via informal caregivers, professional services, and government aid. As more and more colleges and universities respond to rapid globalisation by developing course offerings in non-Western experiences or perspectives, this book offers optional readings that not only cover a major part of the non-Western world but also offer important understanding in comparative inquiry. |
