- Clear, comprehensive coverage is organized into five units: 1) Introduction to Nursing Research, 2) The Research Process, 3) Putting It All Together for Evidence-Based Health Care, 4) Analyzing Data, Determining Outcomes, and Disseminating Research, and 5) Proposing and Seeking Funding for Research.
- Coverage of quantitative, qualitative, and other research methodologies gives students a solid foundation to conduct, appraise, and apply research evidence to the realities of clinical practice in today’s healthcare environment.
- Rich examples from the nursing literature bring research principles to life.
- NEW Mixed Methods Research chapter and emphasis cover the increasingly popular mixed methods approach to research, and this approach is threaded throughout the book.
- NEW! Expanded emphasis on qualitative research provides more balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods, addressing the qualitative research methodologies that are gaining in prestige and are often the starting point of many research projects, particularly in magnet hospitals and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs.
- ENHANCED emphasis on evidence-based practice addresses this key graduate-level QSEN competency — and the emphasis of many nursing research courses.
- UPDATED emphasis on the most currently used research methodologies provides a solid foundation in the methods students will see most often in the literature and in actual research and quality improvement projects.
- EXPANDED use of colorful tables and illustrations breaks up long stretches of unbroken text and facilitates learning by today's visually oriented learners.
- NEW! Quick-reference summaries are located inside the book's covers, including a table of research methods on the inside front cover and a list of types of research syntheses (with definitions) inside the back cover.
- NEW! Colorful RN design highlights key information such as tables and research examples.
- Emphasis on qualitative research includes phenomenological research, grounded theory research, ethnographic research, exploratory-descriptive research, and historical research.
- Emphasis on evidence-based practice equips students to generate research evidence and to appraise and synthesize existing research for application to clinical practice, using the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program criteria as a point of focus.
- Information on collecting digital data guides students through the use of online research.
- Reorganized Table of Contents reflects more accurately the sequence of beginning a research study.
