Psiko-Sosyal Boyutuyla Sağlık (Health with its Psycho-Social Dimension), edited by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zahide Ayyıldız Onaran, is a comprehensive study that scrutinizes not only the physical but also the critical social and psychological aspects of health. Compiled from selected papers from the ICDAH2020 International Conference on Health with its Different Dimensions , this volume focuses on the micro-level reflections of health on the individual and society. It addresses the foremost global trauma of our time, the Covid-19 pandemic, by examining crucial topics such as the restriction of free movement in the European Union and societal attitudes towards vaccine candidates. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to addiction, one of modern society's most severe challenges. Within this framework, it deeply analyzes the psychosocial status of families with young adults with substance use disorder , substance use among children and adolescents , and internet addiction , all from psychiatric nursing and social work perspectives. The work also investigates the prevalence of orthorexia nervosa (an obsession with "healthy" eating) among academic staff , alongside the relationship between peer bullying, stress-coping skills, and social support mechanisms among university students. Finally, the book explores broader social health dynamics by analyzing seasonal birth trends in Turkey and the profound anxieties of mothers with disabled adolescent children , encapsulated by the question, "What about after me?". This collection is a rich resource for anyone seeking to understand the deep-seated psychological and social foundations of health.
