Are you struggling with relating evidence to your practice?
Do you want a straightforward, clearly written and practical guide to evidence-based practice?
A Beginner's Guide to Evidence-Based Practice in Health and Social Care, 4th edition is the book for anyone who has ever wondered what evidence-based practice is, or how to relate it to practice or use it in academic work. Thoroughly revised with two new co-authors this brand new edition uses simple and jargon-free language to help those new to the topic. It provides an accessible step-by-step guide to what we mean by evidence in practice and how to apply this concept to learning and practice.
This new edition features:
• New explanations with examples from both health and social care practice, using a wide range of research that is also relevant outside of the UK
• Coverage of new discourse on the use of evidence generated by COVID-19
• Coverage on the role, need and quality of rapid reviews
• New end-of-chapter questions to help assess how much you have learned
This book provides an inter-professional approach and is key reading for both students and professionals who need to search for, appraise and apply evidence across nursing, allied health care or social care.
