Type: Paperback Book
Evidence-based practice is now widely accepted as the benchmark of good practice in most healthcare disciplines. There is little evidence, however, that evidence-based practice results in better patient care. Furthermore, what makes up the evidence base is still contested is it only findings from randomised controlled trials, or the integration of such findings with professional expertise and the views of patients?
There is scant advice on how the health practitioner is to access the importance of evidence, understanding its basis and usefully inform their practice.
This innovative book strips the concept of evidence-based practice back to basics using deconstructive analysis, so that readers can move towards a clearer understanding of it. The practitioner is guided through a number of case studies in which the authors examine how the concept of evidence-based practice has been used in a variety of clinical settings. The book is divided into three parts, each providing a deconstruction of key texts related to evidence-based practice, weaving together contemporary themes in healthcare research.
Deconstructing Evidence-Based Practice is essential reading for nurses and other health practitioners who need to understand more about evidence-based practice and who want to learn methods of critical thinking that will be invaluable in judiciously informing their practice.
