Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0909 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Ethnography

Captions available

The idea

Ethnography studies culture — the shared patterns of a group — and comes to health research from anthropology.

In practice

A study of how a clinical unit's own culture shapes what happens on it.

Where people slip

Culture here means the group's own way of doing things, not nationality or ethnicity. A single ward has one.
