Exploring evidence-based practice : debates and challenges in nursing / edited by Martin Lipscomb.

Contributor(s): Lipscomb, Martin [editor.]Material type: TextTextSeries: Routledge key themes in health and societyPublisher: London : Routledge, 2015Description: 240 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781138789906 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Nursing -- Study and teaching | Evidence-based nursing | Health and Fitness | Health and WellbeingDDC classification: 610.7'3 Summary: Despite sustained debate and progress the evolving thing that is evidence based nursing or practice (EBP) continues to dangle a variety of conceptual and practical loose threads. Moreover, when we think about what is being asked of students and registered or licenced practitioners in terms of EBP, it is difficult not to concede that this 'ask' is in many instances quite large and, occasionally, it may be unachievable. EBP has and continues to improve patient, client and user care. Yet significant questions concerning its most basic elements remain unresolved and, if nurses are to contribute to the resolution or reconfiguration of these questions then, as a first step, we must acknowledge their existence. From a range of international standpoints and perspectives, contributors to this book focus on aspects of EBP that require development. This focus is always robust and at times it is unashamedly provocative.
