"This is a valuable text that will prove useful for nurses who are planning to write a systematic review of the literature, whether as part of an academic assignment or for publication. The book is clearly written, easy to follow and comprehensive, taking readers through all of the key steps in a literature review. It offers a range of case studies and examples that will help to contextualise and clarify the steps of a review. The authors also signpost readers to a variety of resources and provide practical tips, summaries and templates to work through as part of the review process. This will be an important text for undergraduate and post-graduate nurses and I thoroughly recommend it." Professor Fiona Irvine, Head of Nursing, University of Birmingham, UK "This book is a very comprehensive, well written and illustrated key text on systematic reviews for anyone involved in research within nursing. Its strengths are its well laid-out format, mixing figures and tables with real examples throughout. It is a key resource for both the novice and more advanced researcher and will be a major support to students from basic degree right up to PhD level." Dr. Pauline Joyce, Academic Co ordinator, RCSI School of Medicine, Ireland "This timely second edition of this book will form a core text for many nursing and healthcare students and their lecturers. The book provides a highly practical, thorough and logical overview to enable even novices to undertake a systematic literature review. Unlike some other methodological texts, the book is written in an easily accessible style, yet provides the necessary theoretical underpinning presented in a non-threatening way. The reader is directed to useful resources and the Q&A sections that follow the chapter summaries are helpful for students to self-assess their learning. The key points keep the reader on track, and helpful practical tips are woven into the text throughout. It's a great book!" Dr. Debbie Roberts, Professor in Nurse Education and Clinical Learning, and Head of the Research Centre for the School of Social and Life Sciences, Glyndwr University, UK
""The book is much more than a simple 'introduction' to practice
development; it provides an in-depth analysis of the governance
challenges and should be read by all staff and indeed senior
managers tasked with such onerous responsibilities." ""I recommend it to all members of the multidisciplinary team in
any clinical environment, whether or not there is a practice
development presence. The book is well referenced, with useful
diagrams and signposts for further reading. This complete read
includes the application of practice development, how to measure
success, and public and patient expectations. It also addresses
litigation, changing cultures and how to motivate others." ""Rob McSherry and Jerry Warr provide essential information on
practice development in this excellent book. It is well referenced,
and includes many useful diagrams and signposts to encourage
further reading." The first in a new series, this introductory text outlines what is meant by excellence in practice and explores the core contemporary issues used to illustrate excellence, including evidence-based practice, clinical governance, and health and social care standards. McSherry and Warr offer simple and effective tools and techniques to support the development of excellence in practice. The book also provides guidance to support the individual, team and organisation in achieving excellence in practice. All topics covered are key to the Quality and Modernisation Agendas, and the book includes coverage on: Reshaping healthcare delivery Clinical governance Responsibility and accountability Implementing government targets and National Service Frameworks Public confidence Partnerships and collaborative working Equality and diversity Autonomy Recruitment and retention Real life practical examples and reflective exercises are used throughout to help the reader explore what excellence means in their everyday practice, as well as enforce the theory needed to inform delivery of excellence. "An Introduction to Excellence in Practice Development in Health and Social Care" is key reading for nurses and health and social care professionals, both in training and in practice.
