  • Clinical Nursing Practices

    Guidelines for Evidence-Based Practice
    • 6th Edition
    • Sarah Renton + 2 more
    • English
    The new edition of Clinical Nursing Practices reflects the many changes in nurse education and practice. A team of clinical and education experts has updated the core practices contained within this text, while to ensure continuity the previous editors have acted as consultants in the development of this edition. To reflect the continuing evolution of nursing and nursing practice, this new 6th edition emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice, values-based care, person centred care, health and social care integration and interprofessional education. To encourage reflective practice, self-assessment questions remain at the end of each chapter for some of the practices. Where appropriate, certain practices are evidenced mainly by National Guidelines and Standards such as Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, Infection Control and Blood Transfusion; consequently, the presentation of the skill or procedure reflects this. The updated text addresses the wider issues which impact on everyday nursing and healthcare practice and is specially written to meet the needs of nurses today. The core philosophy of book, however, remains the same: to encourage its readers to deliver the highest quality care to each individual patient, safely and effectively.

  • Réussir la démarche de recherche universitaire en kinésithérapie et thérapie manuelle

    Méthodologie. Lecture critique d'articles. Mémoire de fin d'études
    • 1st Edition
    • Arnaud Delafontaine
    • French
    La réforme des études de kinésithérapie a placé la méthodologie au coeur de la pédagogie. Les évolutions réglementaires des vingt dernières années ont fait évoluer les rééducateurs vers « l’evidence-based of physiotherapy » partout dans le monde. Cette évolution universitaire en masso-kinésithérapie / physiothérapie, en STAPS, etc., impose de repenser les modes d’apprentissage où la recherche façonne les pratiques. Ainsi, les processus de raisonnement scientifique deviennent la pierre angulaire de la pratique clinique. La réalisation du mémoire orienté « recherche » et le cheminement intellectuel, qui en découle, sont le point d’orgue de cette nouvelle pédagogie. La pédagogie par la recherche doit permettre à tous les étudiants de se familiariser avec les outils méthodologiques du meilleur niveau de preuve actualisé, cela en particulier par la recherche bibliographique afin d’acquérir une meilleure compréhension de la démarche scientifique. Cet ouvrage, premier dans le domaine, répond à ces objectifs en offrant aux étudiants toutes les clés pour acquérir une bonne base méthodologique. Ils pourront, entre autres, bénéficier de savoir-faire pour : acquérir et perfectionner la lecture critique d’articles en physiothérapie - construire un essai contrôlé randomisé- rédiger leurs mémoire de fin d’études, revue de littérature, articles en anglais, lettre d’intention, appel à projet, CPP, etc. ; - enregistrer un projet de recherche accepté sur ClinicalTrials- obtenir des financements d’études pour une activité professionnelle publique et/ou libérale. Le lecteur y trouvera aussi une réelle initiation à la démarche de recherche sur des axes fondamentaux/cliniqu... incontournables (contrôle moteur, thérapie manuelle, anatomie, pelvi-périnéologie, physio-échographie fonctionnelle, sciences humaines, neurophysiologie respiratoire, imagerie motrice, métrologie,...), ainsi que des conseils pour l’aider à développer un questionnement éthique. L’étudiant obtiendra des réponses pratiques relevant de domaines délicats tels que : comment argumenter son raisonnement, optimiser sa recherche bibliographique, réussir sa revue de littérature, améliorer son analyse statistique, maîtriser son oral de soutenance, perfectionner son « English touch », ou encore parcourir la database clinique ?
