Evidence-based practice is a concept and theme that underpins all modules across the nursing and healthcare curriculum and will come to the fore for healthcare students when taking their research methods, dissertation or literature review modules. However, despite being a term that is widely used and regularly cited, students often fail to fully grasp what it is, why it is so important and how it applies to the practical, non-academic world. This book bridges that gap by introducing concepts in a very basic way to help those without much clinical experience to understand what is at the heart of good evidence-based practice.
"This is a must-read for a range of professionals, offering a balanced yet critically aware appraisal of the significance of evidence-based/informed practice in a complex professional world."
Dr Steve J Hothersall, [Formerly, now retired] Head of Social Work, Mental Health and Learning Disability Nursing Education and Practice, Edge Hill University, Ormskirk, UK.
"I would highly recommend this book to any clinicians or students looking to improve the way that they integrate evidence into their professional practice."
Professor Liz Halcomb, Professor of Primary Health Care Nursing, University of Wollongong, Australia.
"Aveyard, Greenway and Parsons have provided an excellent guide to evidence-based practice in this updated edition which is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students and for practitioners."
Dr Hazel Partington University of Central Lancashire, UK
