Synopsis

The Evidence-Based Nursing Series is co-published with Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI). The series focuses on implementing evidence-based practice in nursing and midwifery and mirrors the remit of Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing, encompassing clinical practice, administration, research and public policy.

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. Increasingly, implementation research is demonstrating that for evidence to be successfully implemented into practice, the context of practice needs to be considered.

Clinical Context for Evidence-Based Practice addresses professional, educational, and organizational contextual issues that impact on the implementation of evidence into practice and the bringing about of practice change. Practical strategies that have been used effectively to overcome these contextual issues in a range of healthcare settings are identified. Specific contextual issues in different care settings are also addressed e.g. acute care, primary health care, peri-operative settings, paediatrics, aged care, mental health, midwifery.

Each chapter is written by an internationally known and respected author, with experience of developing or reviewing contextual strategies that have an impact on the implementation and utilisation of research in practice. They explore how gaining a better understanding of context made a difference to the implementation process or outcome and address the potential to transfer different approaches to a range of healthcare settings.

• An informative, practical resource for nurses and other health care professionals
• Explores context-related models and approaches to implementation
• Informs implementation and enables effective decision making
• Critically appraises contextual factors across the spectrum of care
• Explores future directions and implications
• Includes case examples

From the Back Cover

'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.
