Synopsis

While often greeted with trepidation, the importance of a research project―how it is conducted and its significance to practice―is an essential aspect of nursing and other healthcare arenas. This innovative resource is a user-friendly introduction to evidence-based practice and other types of research-based initiatives that improve patient outcomes. Using a method formed through years of teaching experience, Brenda Marshall translates the difficult and sometimes confusing language of research into everyday vocabulary, linking complicated concepts with easily understood scenarios.

Each chapter opens with learning objectives that unfold into new concepts, followed by everyday life examples.
