Expanding Nursing Knowledge by Gary Rolfe
In order to give fully holistic and individualized patient care, the practitioner needs to constantly expand their knowledge-base. It is recognized that the value of scientific research alone is limited and it must be enhanced by knowledge gained through personal experience. This book will engage nurses and midwives in an exploration of their own clinical knowledge base, and demonstrate how to expand it through reflection and practitioner-centred research. Clear explanations are given of the different types of knowledge practitioners possess, and the book encourages them to consider the personal and experiential theory which informs their clinical decisions.
