Full Description
Nursing Research: Reading, Using, and Creating Evidence, Sixth Edition is a foundational nursing textbook 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 Sixth 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 nursing textbook is intended to teach and support the clinical practice of nursing students, professional nurses returning to school, and practicing nurses that must apply evidence to patient care.
