Produktbeschreibung

'Evidence Based Midwifery Practice' is an accessible and authoritative guide to implementing evidence-based care in midwifery practice. It identifies and explores recent evidence based midwifery initiatives, reflects upon current philosophical and methodological issues, and explores how midwives might best use the current evidence base to enhance their clinical practice. This text explores the current policy drivers influencing evidence based midwifery and covers topics such as problem-based learning, implementation of evidence-based guidelines and the role of the service-user and makes recommendations for future evidence based practice in midwifery. With the use of real-life examples throughout, this text will encourage midwives to reflect upon and critically analyse the evidence that underpins midwifery practice, and utilise it to develop their skills.
