Single case study and evidence-based practice With the current emphasis upon evidence-based medicine in statutory health care provision in the UK, mental health nursing is challenged to justify its approaches. Psychological theories, once taken for granted in mental health nursing, are now being challenged by new definitions of evidence. In this paper the authors focus upon the use of individual case study. The discussion questions the validity of applying the hierarchies of evidence proposed by evidence-based medicine to mental health nursing theory and practice. The role of case study as the prime source of evidence is argued and is justified in mental health nursing research and practice.
单病例研究与循证实践 在英国法定医疗保健服务当前对循证医学的重视背景下，精神健康护理面临着为其方法提供正当理由的挑战。心理理论曾在精神健康护理中被视为理所当然，如今却受到新证据定义的挑战。在本文中，作者聚焦于单个病例研究的运用。该讨论质疑了将循证医学提出的证据等级应用于精神健康护理理论与实践的有效性。文中论证了病例研究作为主要证据来源的作用，并在精神健康护理研究与实践中为其提供了正当理由。
