{"product_id":"stories-of-being-old-von-lorraine-ritchie","title":"Stories of being old","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores themes arising from the analysis  of representations of old age in New Zealand poetry  and short fiction. It considers the usefulness of  these themes to the teaching of undergraduate  nursing students, particularly in relation to  attitudes towards older people.   An overview of current thinking in social  gerontology, literary and health and arts education  discourse is presented. Five major themes of old age  are identified and discussed through story and  poetry.  The final section of the book considers the  use of literature as a teaching method. The design  and implementation of an  Optional Paper for  undergraduate nurses is presented. Students found  the paper valuable, innovative and stimulating. It  enabled them to look at their nursing practice in a  more creative, original and insightful way,  particularly in relation to the ¿patient  perspective''. Educators in all health disciplines  who strive to encourage sensitivity, humanism and  creativity in their students'' learning will  recognise that by raising student awareness  of ¿other'' through story, an inevitable self- refection and practice examination is elicited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838317229\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLearning about old age through fiction and poetry\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838317229","offer_id":39497058025565,"sku":"9783838317229","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/69cff9e0-04ae-44a0-8afa-2958e063fd75.jpg?v=1775364501","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/stories-of-being-old-von-lorraine-ritchie","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
