journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-18, 18:56 authored by Cleary, M, Freeman, A, Walter, G, Hunt, GEIn recent years, efforts have been directed towards making mental health nursing more evidence-based. Making evidence based practice (EBP) a reality in modern health services requires due attention to service planning and management. It is acknowledged that there are many challenges and barriers to implementing EBP as outlined in this article. However, by using an example from our mental health service and drawing upon the literature, we show that a variety of techniques can be used to incorporate EBP into everyday practice. A combination of approaches is recommended, including education and training, leadership programs, research units, dissemination of research findings and structural changes to draw upon the expertise of key clinical, education, management and research staff.
