Summary:

This resource offers an overview of how to incorporate research into health care practice, featuring sections on: "The Context of Research" and differing ideas that lead practitioners to become involved in the research utilization cycle; "Experience in Health Care "that focuses on the personal experience of practitioners and reports of project developments, from strategic planning to implementation; and "The Way Forward," with chapters on ideology and theoretical perspectives. Concluding chapters draw together current practice with examples and implications for future practice developments.
