Description & Coverage
Description:

Because of the constant advances and dynamics within the nascent field of nursing informatics, many nurses struggle in practice as they continue to try and apply habitual communication practices in the new environment without any critical reflection on, and adaptation of, those practices.

Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing Informatics: Concepts and Applications serves as a valuable asset for nurses, administrators and practitioners who want to improve their understanding of nursing informatics. Critiquing fundamental concepts such as evidence based practice, and examining possible applications of such concepts in the contemporary context of nursing informatics, this text offers chapter and case studies focusing on technology’s contributions to nursing theory and practice, nursing systems management, and decision-support in nursing.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Communication and nursing relationships
  • Ethics in nursing and nursing informatics
  • History of nursing informatics
  • Humanization of Health Care
  • Nursing research and generation of evidence
  • Practical and Practice Knowing
  • Praxis: the essential nursing construct
  • Rural and Remote Mental Health
  • Telenursing
  • The Nature of Nursing Work
  • Translation of evidence into practice
Reviews & Statements

This book is about nurses' relationship with technology – in its widest possible sense. In what way does technology contribute to nursing theory; to nursing practice; to the management of nursing systems; to working out how nurses will know what to do when and how, even if they are not altogether sure 'why'. Technology has always been the brightest kid on the block and informatics represents the kind of intelligence we all might use – or be influenced by – which will make us more effective; more efficient; and, hopefully, more satisfied with a good job well done. ... This book ... certainly sparked my curiosity about where all this might be leading us; and what we should be doing to try to maintain a positive relationship with King Techno. If this book 'works' for an old Neanderthal like me, think what it might do for those who are natural members of the Myspace, Facebook, Youtube generation.
