This accessible textbook introduces a wide spectrum of ideas,
approaches, and examples that make up the emerging field of
implementation science, including implementation theory, processes
and methods, data collection and analysis, brokering interest on
the ground, and sustainable implementation. Containing over 60
concise essays, each addressing the thorny problem of how we can
make care more evidence-informed, this book looks at how
implementation science should be defined, how it can be conducted,
and how it is assessed. It offers vital insight into how research
findings that are derived from healthcare contexts can help make
sense of service delivery and patient encounters. Each entry
concentrates on an important concept and examines the idea's
evidence base, root causes and effects, ideas and applications, and
methodologies and methods. Revealing a very human side to
caregiving, but also tackling its more complex and technological
aspects, the contributors draw on real-life healthcare examples to
look both at why things go right in introducing a new intervention
and at what can go wrong. Implementation Science: The Key Concepts
provides a toolbox of rich, contemporary thought from leading
international thinkers, clearly and succinctly delivered. This
comprehensive and enlightening range of ideas and examples brought
together in one place is essential reading for all students,
researchers, and practitioners with an interest in translating
knowledge into practice in healthcare.

Research is increasingly important in health and social care, and
is becoming central to evidence-based and best practice. This
edited volume brings together innovative contributions from a range
of health and social care professionals and research scientists who
are interested in introducing new approaches to qualitative
research into the world of health and social care.
The book covers a range of methodologies including discourse
analysis, imagework, cut-up technique, minimalist passive
interviewing technique and social action research. The histories of
these new methodologies are discussed, and the methods and their
applicability to practice outlined. The book also explores recent
developments and their implications for, and impact on, delivery
and good practice evaluation in health and social care, illustrated
throughout by examples drawn from clinical and practice settings.
"New Qualitative Methodologies in Health and Social Care Research"
aims to encourage an in-depth appreciation of the concept of
evidence - what it means, how it is arrived at and the consequences
of it being applied - and will:
* Enable health and social care professionals, academics and
students to learn more about new qualitative methodologies
* Broaden understanding of notions of good practice
* Encourage new thinking about the application of methodologies to
practice
This book is important reading for anyone involved in health and
social care research, including practitioners, primary care
professionals, social scientists and researchers. It will also be
invaluable for those teaching and studying health and social care.
This book contains a foreword by Elliot G Mishler - professor of
Social Psychology, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical
School. Patients' views of their identity change with illness, as
do health professionals' views of them. This book discusses how and
why this happens, and examines how more awareness of this
phenomenon can lead to better care. Providing examples from diverse
clinical settings, "The Self in Health and Illness" brings together
writers from a range of backgrounds including health science,
anthropology, sociology, psychology, nursing, medical ethics and
healthcare. It considers the narrative self (or constructions of
identity) and its place within healthcare and the medical
humanities, and assists in clarifying the understanding of 'self'
in the context of illness, health and medicine. An enlightening
read for all doctors, especially those with an interest in medical
humanities, this anthology is also invaluable for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of medical humanities, researchers in health
sciences and medical ethics. It will also be of great interest to
medical anthropologists, psychologists, psychiatrists and other
healthcare professionals. 'If you ask people questions about their
lives they tell stories that express some version of "who" they
are. Within the healthcare field, narrative researchers from
various health professions and social science disciplines have been
particularly interested in the potential impact of disability and
illness on patient identities. What we find here is an array of
quite systematic approaches to the complexities with which people
narrate, perform, and possibly transform their identities through
their stories. This is a serious undertaking and the editors and
authors of these papers treat it with deep respect for our common
struggle to make sense of our lives by achieving identities we can
live with.' - Elliot G Mishler, in the Foreword.
Drawing on the knowledge and experiences of world-renowned
scientists and healthcare professionals, this important book brings
together academic, medical and health systems accounts of the
impact of applying qualitative research methods to transform
healthcare behaviours, systems and services. It demonstrates the
translation of tried-and-tested and new interventions into
high-quality care delivery, improved patient pathways, and enhanced
systems management. It melds social theory, health systems analysis
and research methods to address real-life healthcare issues in a
rich and realistic fashion. The systems and services examined
include those affecting patient care and patient and professional
wellbeing, and the roles and responsibilities of people providing
and receiving care. Some chapters delve deeply into the human
psyche, examining the very private face of health and illness.
Others concentrate on public health and how people's needs can be
met through health promotion and new investments. From real-time
case studies to narratives on illness to theories of change, there
is something here for everybody. Transforming health systems needs
ingenuity - and the drive of individuals, the staying power of
systems and above all the involvement of patients. Full of novel
ideas and innovative solutions from around the world, all
underpinned by qualitative methods and methodologies, this book is
a key contribution for advanced students, practitioners and
academics interested in health services research, research methods
and the sociology of health and illness.
