Evidence-Based Healthcare in Context
Critical Social Science Perspectives
AvJon Adams,Alex Broom
Inbunden, Engelska, 2012
2 542 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
With new methods of treatment standardisation resulting in various benefits for patient outcomes, evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice have emerged as defining features of western healthcare provision in recent years. Most health professions are now adopting some form of 'evidence-based' framework for clinical training and practice. However, the rise of evidence-based healthcare has drawn sustained criticism regarding the limits of trial based evidence, the reductive character of epidemiological study designs, and the potential for an erosion of the importance of lay perspectives and clinical judgement. Evidence-Based Healthcare in Context introduces readers to the social, cultural and historical underpinnings of 'evidence' in healthcare, critically examining questions about what constitutes ’evidence’ and ’effectiveness’ from perspectives outside medicine, including those of patients, complementary medicine and midwifery. It focuses on the application of contemporary theoretical debates around the nature of medical and health knowledge, providing readers with a series of critical analyses of the production, application and translation of 'evidence' in a range of healthcare contexts. Featuring cutting edge work from leading social scientists in the UK, US, Canada, Norway, Australia and New Zealand, this volume draws on the latest empirical research to provide a thorough critical overview of this important field of health research.

The Cruise of the Jest tells a story of coming of age at sea.The boy's father, a well-known anthropologist, doesn't think high school provides an adequate initiation process for an American adolescent, so he tells his sixteen-year-old son to sail Jest, a 35-foot boat, from San Francisco to Hawaii. In a newspaper interview, the father says that "e;our teenagers fail to undergo an adequate initiation. There's nothing dangerous about high school, except drunken driving. Look at the high school role model, the football star. He goes from high school to middle age. He never grows up."e;The boy doesn't want to do what his father tells him, so instead of sailing to Hawaii, he takes Jest down the California coast to Mexico. When his father follows him on his own boat, the boy is forced to sail west, across the Pacific Ocean to the South Seas. As the boy sails farther west, he tries to lose himself somewhere on the other side of the world, until eventually he meets a girl.The cruise around the world alternates between the sea and the land. So it is not just the demands of living at sea that forces the boy to grow up, but also the pressures of the land, where he confronts the assumptions and expectations of the adult world. As he learns, "e;The sea you can plan for: the land is a different matter."e;The novel is based on the author's experience. At the age of sixteen, he sailed from San Francisco for the South Seas with his family on the 57-foot schooner Fairweather. In Auckland, New Zealand, his father left the Fairweather and his mother became skipper, forcing the author, then at the age of seventeen, to take on more and more responsibility for the schooner, the cruise, and himself.
