Evidence-based Practice in Nursing & Healthcare: A Guide to Best Practice is an exemplary text that spans the continuum of nursing evidence to support best practice. Utilizing this text with undergraduate, RN to BSN, and graduate nursing students is the ONLY text that demonstrates how to retrieve, read, and analyze evidence whether it is published as an individual study, systematic review, meta-analysis, best practice guideline, or outcomes management report.
Students learn how to utilize multiple complex databases and websites as they move through each chapter. And they experience dissemination of evidence through the development of presentations, publications, posters and grants.
This is truly a remarkable book that embraces evidence as the basis for nursing practice and patient centered care and safety. Having used this text with more than 1000 students over the past five years, I can honestly say that I have found no other text that facilitates learning and development of clinical judgement that is grounded in valid, reliable, and applicable evidence. This is a keeper!
