Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one of the driving forces in
current healthcare practice. Occupational therapists recognise the
need for research and for an evidence-based approach to
interventions, but can need guidance on how to do this. This book
aims to make evidence-based practice accessible and relevant to
occupational therapists using examples from therapy practice. It
will provide them with the skills to search for and access the
required evidence to underpin or question practice.

Publication of the first edition of this book in 2000 signaled
the receptiveness of the occupational therapy community toward
evidence-based practice. This second edition, as well as providing
practical information on EBP, also addresses how it has evolved
within the culture of occupational therapy. The author considers
the definition of evidence-based occupational therapy, the impact
of research governance, and social care influences on suitable
evidence. Implementation issues are covered in more depth,
including change management and practice guidelines. Three new
chapters have been added on evidence from other sources; carrying
out a review of the evidence and developing and using guidelines
for practice.
