This book describes each individual step of evidence-based practice from forming a question through to putting findings into practice and developing an evaluative culture within the organisation. It deals with each component of the process in sufficient breadth that the novice will understand most of the principles and in enough depth for it to be an aide-memoire and provide guidance to the professional who has already had some training in evidence-based practice. It uses multiple examples relevant to nursing, both within primary and secondary care, to illustrate points. Each chapter deals with specific aspects of the process and these are logically laid out to lead the reader through the process.
• A practical, step-by-step guide
• Designed specifically for nurses
• Features extensive use of case studies and scenarios from a variety of clinical settings
• Original papers included in online version
• Case studies now interactive
• Critical appraisals are all online with short exercises
• More emphasis on appraisal of guidelines, rather than how to write guidelines Features: The chapters are grouped into three parts: the context for evidence-based practice, skills for evidence-based practice, and the process for changing practice. Each chapter begins with a useful introductory section of key points and is organized with clearly delineated sections. The book includes many useful tables and appendixes and the references are extensive and up to date. The case studies are clear and relevant to current nursing practice.
Assessment: This is an excellent reference for practicing clinical nurses, both experienced and novice. The body of healthcare knowledge is constantly expanding and even professional groups find it difficult to keep current with all of the requisite knowledge and skills. This manual provides nurses with the tools necessary to incorporate evidence-based practice into their routine clinical practices. These advances in professional practice help to ensure the best quality of care for all patients. ISBN - 9780702041938
