Nursing Research: Methods and Critical Appraisal for Evidence-Based Practice

This book discusses the research process for integrating evidence-based practice into clinical practice, as well as some of the techniques used in quantitative research for qualitative research.

Abstract

Nursing Research continues its tradition of offering an introduction to the research process to help nurses understand research and its relevance to nursing practice. This eighth edition reflects the new terminology and ties to health care reform, the move from disease management to care coordination, and the need for outcomes-based research. The book explains the role of nursing theory and its importance to new knowledge development.
