Women's Gynecologic Health includes the following features:
-
Organization of the book moves from health orientation as a basis for understanding common gynecologic problems to management of gynecologic conditions. Emphasizes normal while identifying the abnormal. For example, Chapter 20 reviews normal bleeding variations, and the provides discussion about bleeding abnormalities that are pathologic.
-
Framework is feminist, which means health care for women is approached within a perspective that is relational and based on more recently developed feminist theories about women's growth and development.
-
Evidence-based approach with Chapter 3 clarifying what best evidence and best practice means in an evidence-based practice approach.
-
Includes detailed chapters on areas too often overlooked or addressed only briefly in other texts such as gynecologic health care for lesbian and intimate partner violence.
