Understanding attitudes and their effects on nursing practice

This module aims to enable you to explore your understanding of attitudes, how they affect professional care situations, and their significance for behaviour and helping others to think in new ways. While it is important for all members of the nursing team, and other healthcare professionals, to respect individual rights, there is an onus on the nursing team to promote more positive attitudes, for example in relation to healthy lifestyle, risk management, and effective and efficient ways of working.
