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.
Topics Covered
• Practical and Practice Knowing
• Communication and nursing relationships
• Praxis: the essential nursing construct
• The Nature of Nursing Work
• Translation of evidence into practice
• History of nursing informatics
• Nursing research and generation of evidence
• Ethics in nursing and nursing informatics
• Humanization of Health Care
• Telenursing
• Rural and Remote Mental Health
Preface
This is the first edition of this innovative text that considers the field of
nursing informatics within the broader field of nursing knowing and hence information
generation and evidenced based practice. Some of the work is an update of where
both nursing philosophy and nursing informatics is currently at. This will be
of interest to a broad range of readers from undergraduate to postgraduate students
and clinicians. Most chapters are not a quick and simple read as they present
challenges to the reader to critically think about not only the possibilities
afforded by the informatics technologies but also how the use of technologies
fits, or not, with nursing practice. Nursing practice is of course underpinned
by nursing thinking. It is tempting for the reader to shy away from the challenge
presented in the book in the pretence of the demand for simplicity. If ideas
are not quickly grounded in recognised like ideas it is easy to blame the author’s
writing style. Philosophy is often on the fringe as it falls prey to the reluctance
‘to’ reader tenacity. Many of the ideas presented challenge the
reader to really become mindful of what they think and know of nursing, the
language used and the origins of the words, and how this thinking and speaking
is channelled into practice. The tools of informatics are tools of communication
and practice and come into this musing at the level of communication and practice.
It would be fine to write of theory, as the kind of theory in this book is of
course the most practical kind of theory that drives to the route of what nurses
do, but this book goes further with examples of application. In line with evidenced
based practice this book explores not only informatics in practice but the evaluation
of the practice. This is book is not aiming to present the definitive description
of all informatics projects in nursing but a selection from across the globe
to demonstrate the possible. We hope you enjoy this book that brings together
this challenging, but extremely worthwhile thinking.
