Applied Sociology for Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, 2/E for GNM and BSc Nursing Students | Society, Culture, Family and Community with Health and Disease Correlations

Applied Sociology for Nursing and Allied Health Sciences, 2nd Edition is a foundational sociology textbook written specifically for nursing and allied-health learners, applying core sociological concepts directly to health, disease and community practice rather than teaching sociology as an abstract subject. Across 16 chapters, it moves from the basics of sociology through society, culture, social processes, groups, family and marriage, rural and urban community, social stratification, social systems, race, population, social control and social problems. Each core sociology topic is deliberately extended with a health-practice lens - dedicated sections cover social factors in health and disease situations, cultural factors in health and disease, and the influence of family on an individual's health - so the theory consistently connects back to the nursing and allied-health context rather than staying purely academic. The text follows a structured, definition-led teaching style: each chapter opens with definitions and moves through characteristics, classifications, and named sociological perspectives (e.g. CH Cooley's classification of social groups, Horton and Hurt on assimilation), building the concept step by step through numbered points before moving to the next topic. Who This Book Is For: GNM Students: a complete foundational sociology course companion for the General Nursing and Midwifery curriculum. BSc Nursing Students: covers the applied-sociology component of the BSc Nursing curriculum with health-and-disease correlations built into each topic. BSc Allied Health Science Students: a shared foundational sociology text for allied-health programs, as named in the book's own title. Nursing Tutors and Educators: a structured, definition-led reference for teaching sociology within a nursing and community-health context. Why This Book Helps: Connects theory to practice: every major sociology topic is paired with its direct relevance to health and disease, rather than left as standalone theory. Builds community-health understanding: dedicated chapters on rural, urban and regional communities prepare students for community-health postings and public-health-oriented nursing practice. Simplifies a broad subject: definition-led, numbered-point structure breaks down wide topics (social stratification, social control, social problems) into study-ready segments. Covers the Indian social context directly: dedicated treatment of the Indian caste system, the joint family system, and population growth in India keeps the sociology grounded in the local context nursing students will actually practice in. Key Features: 16 chapters spanning the complete foundational sociology syllabus for nursing and allied-health courses. Dedicated health-and-disease-linked sections in multiple chapters: Social Factors in Health and Disease Situations, Cultural Factors in Health and Disease, and Influence of Family on the Individual's Health. Structured, definition-led chapters with characteristics, classifications and named sociological theory cited throughout. Dedicated coverage of the Indian caste system, joint family system, and population explosion in India. Complete treatment of rural and urban community sociology, directly relevant to community-health nursing practice.
