Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Healthcare / 5th Edition by Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt

Evidence-based practice fails in most organisations not for lack of evidence but for lack of a method. Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt’s Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Healthcare is the text that supplies one, walking the full path from a clinical question to a change that survives contact with a real unit.

What the book covers

• Framing answerable clinical questions using the PICOT format
• Searching the literature efficiently and knowing when to stop
• Rapid critical appraisal of quantitative and qualitative evidence, with checklists
• Levels of evidence, systematic reviews, and interpreting statistics you did not run
• Implementing and sustaining practice change, including overcoming staff resistance
• Outcomes measurement, dissemination, and building an EBP culture

Who it’s for

BSN, RN-to-BSN, MSN and DNP students, and clinical educators or quality-improvement staff leading practice change on a unit.
