To examine those sources of information which nurses find useful for reducing the uncertainty associated with their clinical decisions.Nursing research has concentrated almost exclusively on concept implementation. Few, if any, papers use knowledge in context decision-making. There is a need to establish how perceive are, uncertainties they face when making decisions.Cross-case analysis involving qualitative interviews, observation, documentary audit and Q methodological modelling shared...
The accessibility of research‐based knowledge for nurses in United Kingdom acute care settings Background. successful dissemination the results National Health Service (NHS) research and development strategy evidence based approaches to health rely on clinicians having access best available evidence; fit purpose reducing uncertainties associated with clinical decisions. Aim. To reveal those sources information actually used by nurses, as well which they say use. Design. Mixed method case...
To ensure effective utilization of research in nursing more evidence is needed which illuminates the way nurses think about research, value they put on it, and how envisage that it may help or hinder them their everyday work. This English study aimed to meet these objectives by describing culture practising nurses, health visitors midwives, managers. It rests two assumptions. Firstly reasons why practitioners do, do not, base practice are complex, secondly, interventions increase must be...
The incidence of dose related chloramphenicol toxicity was determined in 64 neonates from 12 hospitals. Ten the exhibited symptoms attributed clinically to toxicity. Nine received prescribed and one an overdose. Symptoms grey baby syndrome were observed five 10 babies; four babies suffered reversible haematological reactions; described as very grey. Peak serum concentrations these ranged 28 180 mg/l trough 19 47 mg/l. Serum above therapeutic range (15-25 mg/l) a further 27 (two had 10-fold...
Why has research-based practice become so important and why is everyone talking about evidence-based health care? But most importantly, how nursing best placed to maximise the benefits which care can bring? Research been used legitimise as a profession, education radically reformed reflect research base, academic nurses have built their careers around it. However, despite length of time that on agenda influential bodies involved, only moderate proportion use basis for practice.1 What gone...

While neglected Irish male poets of the mid century have seen some recuperation in recent decades, work women still languishes obscurity. A growing body scholarship has identified need to bring critical attention bear on this substantial work.
