Series Information: Routledge Essentials for Nurses
This invaluable text on the design and analysis of clinical research studies explains the basis of experimental design and statistics in a way that is sensitive to the clinical context in which nurses work. It uses data from actual studies to illustrate how to: *design the study *use and select data *present research findings *use a computer for statistical analysis. The scope of the study designs and associated statistical techniques covered in the book allow both the beginning nurse researcher and the more seasoned professional nurse investigator to approach a research study with confidence and optimism. The authors show how qualitative data can be approached quantitatively, what the advantages of this are from the nursing viewpoint, and how quantitative methodology can help nurses to develop a common research language with other disciplines involved in patient care.
Part of the European Society of Cardiology series, the ESC Textbook
of Cardiovascular Nursing provides in depth learning for nurses
specialising in caring for patients with coronary heart disease,
heart failure, valvular disease, arrhythmias, congenital heart
disease and inherited cardiovascular conditions. The textbook
builds on the ESC Core Curriculum for the Continuing Professional
Development of Nurses Working in Cardiovascular Care. There are
fifteen chapters written by experts in the field. The pathology of
coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease,
arrhythmias, congenital heart disease and inherited cardiovascular
conditions are all discussed in great detail. Whilst tailoring
nursing assessment and interventions to the care of patients with
heart disease, the textbook emphasises high quality holistic care
taking account of the needs of patients with complex comorbidities,
as well as their families. The imperative of prevention and
rehabilitation in terms of both primary and secondary prevention is
described as well as educational, behavioural and therapeutic
interventions. The epidemiology of cardiovascular disease is
covered including disease burden and inequalities across European
regions. Chapters devoted to education and communication and
pharmacology are also included and the book concludes with a
chapter which discusses the future challenges and opportunities for
nurses in addition to the evolution of nursing in cardiovascular
care. The target readership of the textbook are nurses entering
cardiovascular specialisation and university students undertaking
specialist courses in cardiovascular care. The hope of the editors
is that the textbook inspires readers to ask questions, search for
answers and become the best cardiovascular nurses they can be.
There is a strong body of evidence showing that educational
provision for nurses increases patient safety and saves lives, the
ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Nursing aims to be an essential part
of this provision.
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals
outside of the United States. It is a comprehensive reference text
which covers all areas of cardiac care that nurses need to know
about. As well as the clinical conditions and syndromes, it covers
health promotion and rehabilitation. Nursing care in relation to a
variety of specific conditions is discussed together with current
changes and management in cardiac care provision. Contributions
come from clinical experts across the sub-specialties, and the book
is richly illustrated including a colour plate section. Content
completely revised and updated including the latest evidence base
and clinical guidelines. Three new chapters on: hypertension,
physiological assessment and palliative care. Additional material
on Evolve including heart sounds for clinical assessment and useful
web links.
