Beschreibungen
<p>This book explores male health psychology in relation to chronic health conditions. Using data from men with rheumatic diseases as a starting point, this book draws on the wider literature to focus on how men talk about different aspects of living with long-term health issues. This includes how men discuss the impact of chronic illness on their sense of control and self-reliance, masculine identity, body image, mental health, sex and intimacy, and for those living with a life-limiting condition how they discuss facing their mortality. It also covers how men self-manage and what influences their help-seeking behaviours. Whilst men are often branded as ‘hard to reach’, the author argues that when given permission and provided with the right environment, men will talk about their health. This book takes the stance men are under-served by health services and includes suggestions for developing support services for health and mental health that meet men’s needs and preferences.<br>
Focussing on the experiences and support needs of men with long-term conditions, this is an ideal reading for clinicians, healthcare professionals, and practitioners working with men with long-term conditions, as well as early career researchers and students interested in male psychology, men’s health, and gender and society.</p>

Offers a fresh look at the health psychology of men in relation to their experience of chronic illness Provides an alternative perspective to the 'deficit model' previously prevalent in men's health and psychology Includes suggestions to increase men's involvement in discussions about their health and mental health
<p>“This book explores how men experience long-term health conditions. It challenges the stereotype that men are unemotional about their health and explores the impact illness can have on masculinity, mental well-being, body image, and intimacy. As a female researcher, Caroline provides a unique and nuanced perspective on how men cope with long-term conditions, from self-management strategies to navigating the sometimes difficult decision to seek help. Packed with practical advice, this book is an indispensable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for men with long-term health conditions.” (Mwidimi Ndosi, Associate Professor of Rheumatology Nursing)</p>
<p>“This will be a tremendous resource for both practitioners and researchers working in the field. Research has consistently shown that in issues such as coping, mental wellbeing, and self-management support, men who live with long term conditions often have specific needs and preferences and require a tailored approach. This text will provide nurses and allied health professionals with invaluable knowledge to better understand men’s needs and improve their delivery of person-centred care.” (Prof Paul Galdas, Professor of Nursing and Men’s Health, University of York, UK)<br>

“A very clever book that covers a breadth of important issues in relation to men’s health while also providing the critical nuance and depth that is required when considering the complex issues involved in this field. A must read for anyone with a genuine interest in moving men’s health forward.” (Prof Steve Roberson, Emeritus Professor of Men, Gender and Health, University of Sheffield, UK)<br>
<br>
“This is a very important book in the growing field of men’s health. Little has been written on the experiences of men with chronic ill-health and this text, based on interviews with men with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis, gives a clear indication of the challenges men face with life-changing conditions. The honesty with which the men open up to describe their day-to-day realities gives an insight that all working within the health and social care sector should read and learn from.” (Prof Alan White, Emeritus Professor of Men’s Health, Leeds Becket University, UK)<br>
<br>
“An engaging and accessible handbook to the many intricacies of men's health. Centering the words and experiences of male patients themselves, Caroline Flurey guides us deftly through the interplay of masculinity, male identity and men's relationship to their health and their bodies. A book that demands a place on the shelves of every clinician and academic with an interest in men's health and wellbeing.” (Ally Fogg, writer and co-founder of Men and Boys Coalition)<br>
<br>
“As a health researcher, I've come to understand that beneath the resilient exteriors society expects, men deeply desire understanding and support as they navigate their health challenges. This book is a pioneering testament to their stories, the first of its kind to call for dismantling the barriers of silence and stigma. It aims to foster environments where men can openly discuss their health, revealing their vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. By spotlighting men's unique experiences with long-term conditions, we challenge damaging societal narratives and advocate for health support systems that are both inclusive and effectively tailored to their needs.” (Prof Yeliz Prior, Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation, University of Salford, UK)</p>
