Synopsis

Nursing Research: Reading, Using, and Creating Evidence, Fifth Edition is a foundational text for teaching and learning the basics of creating and using evidence in nursing practice. Written in a conversational tone, the hallmark of this text is its readability and the author's skillfulness in simplifying otherwise complex topics such as evidence-based care, qualitative and quantitative studies, and translation of research to practice. Nurses need to demonstrate proficiency in reading research, determining its use in their practice, and participating in the research process. The Fifth Edition is intuitively organized around the three main competencies - reading, using, and creating evidence - all of which enable the student to translate research into evidence in a practical way. This text is intended to teach and support the clinical practice of students, professional nurses returning to school, and practicing nurses that must apply evidence to patient care. Updated to reflect the newly released AACN competencies Feature boxes include new content on COVID-19Includes a discussion on the challenges of conducting EBP research during a pandemicCritical Appraisal Exercises connect EBP directly to nursing practiceEvery new print copy includes Navigate Advantage Access to unlock the comprehensive and interactive eBook, student practice activities and assessments, a full suite of instructor resources, and a learning analytics reporting dashboard Nursing Research Research & Theory © 2023 | 522 pages
