Translation of Evidence into Nursing and Health Care, 3rd Edition Doody's Expert Review Review Questionnaire ISBN: 9780826147363 ISBN-10: 0826147364 Copyright: 2021 Edition: 3rd Editor: White, Kathleen M., Dudley-Brown, Sharon, Terhaar, Mary F., Doody's Expert Review    Score: 92 Doody's Star Rating™ and Doody's Expert Review provide by Doody Enterprises, Inc. Reviewer: Lynne Kuhl,  MSN, RN  (Viterbo University) Description This third edition updates the 2016 second edition with "refreshed and expanded content" providing a comprehensive, introductory resource for the work of translation. The book enhances the understanding that nursing and nursing research professionals must incorporate diverse teams in order to impact and motivate patients and improve outcomes. Through the use of "translation" of evidence, the authors provide a framework that bridges the work of the PhD nurse to seek and describe new knowledge and that of the DNP to support effective practice and care. Purpose The book is focused on "planning, execution, and achievement of important outcomes rather than the development of the science of implementation." This approach adds to scholarship and implementation of the science of nursing in the rigorous DNP curriculum. This is significant for today's healthcare climate and the role of the DNP, as well as the educator. Outlining practice innovation provides a well-articulated framework of the role of partnership in research, evidence-based practice, and quality improvement. The book is a rudder for those working on translation teams and provides a supportive resource for interprofessional projects and collaboration. Audience The authors clearly indicate the book is for DNPs, serving as a "playbook" that scaffolds DNP education and scholarship. It provides clear, thoughtful direction and includes exemplars of projects that demonstrate the process of translation and sustainability of change to transform culture and practice. The authors and contributors are educators and scholars in both academic and practice settings. Features Among the many features in this book that will assist DNPs currently in practice or students is the outline and scaffolded approach to research translation, the intricacies of evidence-based practice change or development, and quality improvement. Tables, diagrams, the index, and a rich source of references add to the learners' experience. A key highlight is the translation exemplars, which were carried over from the second edition to give readers practical examples. Supplementary materials (including PowerPoints) are available to qualified instructors through the publisher. Assessment This book provides useful tools for practice and scholarship and can act as a guide and resource toward translation of research. It presents an excellent framework for innovation and discovery while supporting effective practice and patient outcomes. The book certainly guides translation in the way it "seeks to bring evidence to bear on challenges in the real world of practice using reliable and valid evidence to improve care and robust analytics to evaluate the impact." The third edition enhances the previous work with a book that is well crafted, pertinent to current educational and practice needs, and relevant for the DNP role.
