It is the text for nurse researchers, graduate nursing students, and practitioners interested in gaining a broad perspective on stress and coping and how they impact health outcomes. . . . has many, many strong points. Critique of models is also a strong point. Inclusion of research on stress and coping in various cultures is an important element in today’s society."  (Mariah Snyder, Ph.D.) About the Author Virginia Hill Rice, PhD, RN, CS, FAAN is Professor of Nursing at the Wayne State University College of Nursing and Professor of Oncology at the Wayne State University College of Medicine and the Karmonos Cancer Institute.
