Product Description

Product Description

The role of nursing within mental health care has changed and increased tremendously in recent years. With this greater role goes an increase in responsibility for our actions with clients. In our experience, the single greatest concern of clients is whether the interventions offered to them would be effective in addressing their life problems, and when. Often in the past, lack of evidence has led to unsubstantiated advice on best clinical practice. This book marks a significant departure. The practice of evidence-based care is at least as much about avoiding harm through inaction or inappropriate action as it is about appropriate interventions. By enabling us to question practice, evidence can be used to empower patients by insisting on care which is based on evidence rather than simply custom and practice. With the emphasis on EBP, this text will become a core resource for nurses at pre and post-registration levels as well as providing a significant resource for practitioners.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and user friendly text, 31 May 2001
By A Customer
This book is user friendly for the nursing student but has so much depth for the experienced practioner.

The list of contribors is simply stunning and this is reflected in the quality of evidence based information and the wide range of Mental Health issues presented.

The arrangement of key points and excercises makes this text a valuable reflective tool for nurses and other proffessionals

2.0 out of 5 stars Another British Mental Health Nursing book with no depth., 27 Feb 2001
By A Customer
As a recent newly qualified staff nurse, I thought, with a slight amount of disposable income, I'll invest in a new textbook. Stupid really I should have known that the majority of recent mental health nursing text books from the U.K. are lightweight.

Writers like Newall & Gournay, Dexter & Wash etc,continue to churn out books that completely fail to tell you how to nurse people. After spending three years training and not learning anything I did'nt already know, I wanted a new book that would provide evidence-based care to enhance my care-planning, this did'nt provide. Don't get me wrong, its fine for students with plenty of time on the their hands to follow up research cited in the book, but for a busy "D" grade who can't just [leave] the ward and be supernumery like our higher grade collegues its no good. The book just dosn't provide the depth, needed or the "this is how you nurse someone with schizophrenia" approach. British Nurse Academics appear terrified to actually show you how to provide a particular nursing intervention, they just cite some research that is time consuming to find or is largely incoherant or unusable.

Good for first year branch students who are fairly clueless about mental health, bad for busy staff nurses. I'd recommend The American care-planning books, they have the guts to tell you the best approaches to use and back it up with clear rationales.There are a few about, the two I have are invaluable.
