Books in the Bibliographies and Indexes in Gerontology series

Section II (Special Issues in Geriatric Health Care) includes ethnic and minority health issues in aging, geriatric care and older women, medical ethics in geriatrics, and new reimbursement systems for medical care for the elderly.

This up-to-date bibliography of heretofore scattered references to nursing assistants includes literature pertinent to the construction of models to improve nursing assistant practice and emphasizes the psychosocial skills that are invaluable to the nursing assistant's work.

Until recently, older men were not a social phenomenon commanding great attention. They constitute a distinct minority of the elderly. This is a thorough bibliography on the topic, and it brings together more than 750 articles, organised by broad subject area.

It consists of 302 entries covering, assessment of chronic pain, the human body and chronic pain, perceptions of chronic pain, treatment of chronic pain, and correlates and consequences of chronic pain. This volume includes a select citation list of 150 articles that focus on older persons and cancer pain.
