Riassunto

This book is part of the Transforming Nursing Practice series, written specifically to support students on pre-registration nursing programmes.

The need for an evidence base for nursing practice is widely accepted. However, what evidence is and how nurses might appraise and apply it to their practice is still a matter of some debate. This book guides the student nurse through the process of identifying, appraising and applying evidence in nursing practice. It first explores differing sources of evidence and information, and guides the reader in understanding what are valid sources. Next it explains the key skills of critiquing research in order to choose the right research to apply to practice. It considers also how subjective experience and working with others can contribute to an evidence base for practice. Finally the book considers how the nurse can apply evidence to practice - both in clinical decision making and in making positive changes to practice.

This book is an invaluable tool for the student nurse who is trying to make sense of the complexities of providing evidence-based care to their patient.

Transforming Nursing Practice links theory with practice, in the context of the skills and knowledge needed by student nurses to be fit for future healthcare delivery. Each book has been designed to help students meet the requirements of the NMC Standards of Education, Essential Skills Clusters and other relevant competencies. They are accessible and challenging, and provide regular opportunities for active and reflective learning. Each book will ensure that students learn the central importance of thinking critically about nursing.
