Hälsoarbete är en praktisk handbok som beskriver hälsoarbetets teori och praktik. Bokens första del utforskar begreppen hälsa och hälsofrämjande arbete, diskuterar värderingar och etiska överväganden samt identifierar organisationer och professioner som har en roll i det hälsofrämjande arbetet. Den andra delen behandlar teori och praktik utifrån behov och prioriteringar, evidensbaserat hälsoarbete samt planering och samarbete med andra. I den tredje och sista delen behandlas kompetensutveckling för hälsofrämjande genom kommunikation och undervisning samt stöd till förändring av levnadsvanor och arbete i lokala folkhälsoprojekt.Denna reviderade upplaga tar upp den senaste utvecklingen inom området. Liksom i tidigare svenska upplagor har informationen om hälsostrategier, omorganisationer och riktlinjer som rör brittiska förhållanden anpassats men också utvidgats till att inkludera information om svenska förhållanden.Hälsoarbete riktar sig till universitets- och högskolestuderande inom vårdvetenskap, medicin, folkhälsovetenskap och andra närliggande utbildningar samt till dem som arbetar med hälsofrågor för individer och grupper i kommuner och landsting med flera. Texten är en översättning av originaltextens 6:e upplaga och är sakgranskad av Nina Buer, med. dr och verksam som universitetslektor i vårdvetenskap vid Örebro universitet.
