Nurse-led intervention research is a core component of the
global initiative to improve quality of care. Though research
in this area has already contributed much to the advancement of
patient care, future strides depend on the dissemination of
practical, how-to instruction on this important area of
research. Design, Evaluation, and Translation of Nursing
Interventions aids in this endeavour by presenting both general
approaches and specific methods for developing nursing
interventions.
Logically organized to facilitate ease of use, the book is divided
into four sections. The introduction provides a firm
grounding in intervention science by situating it within the
broader topics of evidence-based practice, client-centred care, and
quality of care. Section Two describes each step of
intervention design, including correct identification of the health
issue or problem, clarification of the elements comprising an
intervention, and application of theory. Section Three is centred
on implementation, highlighting such topics as development of the
intervention manual, training interventionists, and intervention
fidelity. The book concludes with methods to evaluate
interventions enacted and suggestions for their translation into
practice.
Design, Evaluation, and Translation of Nursing
Interventions distills the authors’ years of expertise in
intervention research into comprehensive, easy-to-follow
chapters. It is a must-have resource for students,
researchers and healthcare professionals wishing to impact the
future of patient care.
