Von der hinteren Coverseite

'Clinical context for evidence-based practice' is the second of three books on implementing evidence based practice in the Evidence–based nursing series published jointly by Blackwell Publishing and Sigma Theta Tau International. Implementation research is increasingly demonstrating that for evidence to be successfully implemented into practice, wider issues such as contextual elements need to be considered. Consequently it is important that contextual factors are explored in relation to the different healthcare settings that exist worldwide.

'Clinical context for evidence-based practice' provides insights into the key contextual issues to be considered in the implementation and assessment of evidence-based practice. It addresses professional, educational, and organizational obstacles to the implementation of practice change in a range of healthcare settings and explores practical strategies that have been used effectively to overcome them. Specific contextual issues in different care settings e.g. acute care, primary health care, peri-operative settings, paediatrics, aged care, mental health, midwifery are also addressed.
Each chapter is written by an internationally known and respected author, with experience of developing or reviewing contextual strategies/factors related to the impact of implementation. They reflect the international context, explore how gaining a better understanding of context made a difference to the implementation outcome or process and address the potential to transfer different approaches to a range of healthcare settings.
