Introduction to Evidence-Based Practice : a practical guide for nursing by
Employers expect new graduates to be well-versed in evidence-based practice--its theory and its implementation. Begin with a concise introduction to evidence-based practice to gain a full perspective of what it is and why it's so important. Then draw upon must-have guidance and tools that will help you immediately apply what you've learned in both classroom and clinical settings. This practical, step-by-step approach develops the critical-thinking and decision-making skills you need to effectively apply and deliver effective patient care. You'll find separate four sections that consider the context of evidence-based practice, theories and models, ways to find and implement the best sources of evidence, and the application of evidence-based practice to specific nursing specialties. Perfect for a stand-alone, evidence-based course or for integrating throughout the nursing curriculum.

Evidence-Based Practice in Action by
A growing number of empirically supported treatments are available to mental health practitioners, yet evidence-based practice requires knowledge and skills that are often overlooked in clinical training. This authoritative reference and text grounds the reader in the concepts, rationale, and methods of evidence-based practice. Clinicians and students are guided to consult and evaluate the research literature, use data to inform clinical decision making, consider the role of culture and context, craft sound case formulations, monitor progress and outcomes, and continuously develop their expertise. Of particular utility, the book includes rich, chapter-length case studies. Leading proponents of cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, behavioral activation, and other approaches make explicit the ways they draw on evidence throughout the process of assessment and treatment.
