Evidence-Based Nursing: The Research Practice Connection: The Research Practice Connection

Evidence-Based Nursing: The Research–Practice Connection, Fourth Edition introduces students to research methods and evidence-based practice. The text helps students understand research methods, how to appraise and use research evidence in clinical decision-making, and how to fully understand and engage in evidence-based practice. By linking evidence-based practice to recent research in safety and quality programs, it provides timely information in both healthcare and nursing settings.

Dr. Brown taught research courses with an evidence-based practice emphasis to undergraduate and graduate students and consulted with hospitals and home care agencies to develop evidence-based care protocols and standardized plans of care.'In addition to being an evidence-based practice consultant,'Dr. Brown'has worked in clinical and academic settings. She enjoys devising ways to explain research in ways that engage nurses who have the preconceived idea that research is not relevant to practice or is too difficult to read and understand.'
