Balanced coverage explores both the nursing research process (including both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies) and the evidence-based practice (EBP) process
User-friendly writing style and engaging learning aids throughout the text include full-text research examples, Helpful Hints, EBP Tips, IPE Highlights, Research Vignettes, Clinical Judgment Challenges, Critical Appraisal Criteria, and more!
Innovative format integrates examples from current, high-quality, relevant full-text research articles
"All-star" team of contributors is a widely respected collection of experts in nursing research and EBP
NEW! Free downloadable Study Guide Worksheets (1 per chapter) provide additional support and practice in learning and applying nursing research and EBP content. No need to buy a separate study guide!
NEW! Expanded statistics content in Chapter 16 (Data Analysis: Descriptive and Inferential Statistics) includes additional content on common statistical tests (e.g., correlation, t-test, regression, chi square) to minimize the need for a separate statistics textbook or workbook
NEW! Research examples updated throughout to reflect the latest applicable high-quality literature
NOTE: Additional changes will be identified based on planning surveys due to be completed in early May 2023.
