Synopsis

• Authoritative content is written by two of the true pioneers in nursing research, who offer unique, first-hand insights into the field.
• Research examples provide practice in working with published studies, with many of the examples including Critical Appraisal and Implications for Practice sections.
• Clear, step-by-step organization introduces the research process and demonstrates how this systematic framework relates to evidence-based practice.
• Strong emphasis on evidence-based practice helps you develop skills in studying and appraising published research, so you are prepared for your role in working with research evidence.
• Critical Appraisal Guidelines boxes provide step-by-step guidance in appraising published research studies.
• Emphasis on critical appraisal versus critique reflects contemporary usage in nursing research and evidence-based practice.
• Balanced coverage of qualitative research prepares you to approach research questions and clinical questions with an unbiased view of the researcher's methodology.
• Presentation of two different appraisal processes covers both the traditional in-depth critical appraisal process that prepares you for graduate-level work in research, and the concise, practice-focused research appraisal process that equips you for quick and accurate evaluation of the applicability of research findings to clinical practice.
