Clinical Context for Evidence-Based Practice

"This is an important area for nurses and an appreciation of the application of research is needed by all. A book such as this covering contextual issues of evidence-based practice should be available to all nurses, and this volume in particular is recommended." (Journal of Renal Nursing, 6 November 2011)

"The editors of this book, both heads of nursing research centers, gather international contributors to explore the professional, educational, and organizational context issues that influence how evidence is implemented in clinical practice. Each chapter considers a specific context, such as primary care, acute care, perioperative settings, aged care, pediatrics, mental health, and midwifery. Final chapters examine the place of evidence in policy making. Case examples detail implementation approaches. The book's audience includes nurses and other health care professionals."
