Reviews

"Having an understanding of evidence-based practice can be a daunting task for any undergraduate nursing student. An Introduction to Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare provides a simple overview of what this topic area encompasses.

There may only be 5 chapters but each are written in an accessible manner so that anyone can understand the purpose and intended outcomes. There are a variety of activities within each for the reader to assess their knowledge and they are encouraged to reflect on previous knowledge after reading to understand whether learning has taken place.

With an emphasis on self-directed study at university, this is a useful way for the reader to become independent and a reflective practitioner. Instead of the glossary being situated at the back of the book, each chapter has an integrated list of terms which allows the reader to have a greater understanding of the terminology and the context in which it is used." - Tianna Jarrett-Williams, Nursing Student

"A clear and concise handy little resource, that will lead students to expand their knowledge in other sources" -Patrick Webb, Institute of Health & Social Care, Anglia Ruskin University

"A useful stepping stone from which to embark on the EBP journey" - Joanne Cleary-Holdforth, School of Nursing and Human Sciences, DCU University
