This textbook explicitly links understanding of nursing research with evidence-based practice, and focuses on how to read, critique, and utilize research reports. Organized around questions students have when reading reportsâ€”how the conclusions were reached, what types of patients the conclusions apply to, how the study was done, and why it was done that wayâ€”the text explains the steps of the research process to answer these questions.,Chapters include clinical vignettes, highlighted key concepts, and out-of-class exercises. Appendices present a variety of research examples. This edition includes significant new material on evidence-based practice and more distinction between qualitative and quantitative research.
