In the drive to evidence-based practice, mental health nurses may be doubly disadvantaged. They lack both a strong research culture and the political power to influence large-scale developments. One approach to overcoming this hurdle is the evaluation of innovative treatments through the experimental evaluation of single cases and case series. This article explores the rationale and requirements for single case experimental designs and gives an example of the use of the approach in service development.
在循证实践的推动过程中，心理健康护士可能处于双重劣势。他们既缺乏浓厚的研究文化氛围，又缺乏影响大规模发展的政治权力。克服这一障碍的一种方法是通过对单个病例和病例系列进行实验评估来评价创新治疗方法。本文探讨了单病例实验设计的基本原理和要求，并给出了该方法在服务发展中的应用实例。
