- Coverage of quantitative, qualitative, and other research methodologies gives students a solid foundation to conduct, appraise, and apply research evidence to the realities of today's clinical practice
- Balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods addresses the qualitative research methodologies that are often the starting point of research projects, particularly in magnet hospitals and DNP programs
- Clear, comprehensive coverage is organized into five units that include: an introduction to nursing research; coverage of the research process; application for evidence-based health care; how to analyze data, determine outcomes, and disseminate research; and how to propose and seek funding for research
- Strong emphasis on evidence-based practice addresses this key graduate-level QSEN competency and helps students learn to generate research evidence and to appraise and synthesize existing research for application to clinical practice
- Rich examples from the nursing literature bring research principles to life
- Emphasis on the most currently used research methodologies focuses on the methods used in both quantitative research and qualitative research, as well as outcomes research and mixed-methods research
- Coverage of digital data collection guides students through the use of online research
- Quick-reference summaries include a table of research methods inside the front cover and a list of types of research syntheses (with definitions) inside the back cover
- Helpful student resources are included with each new text purchase on the companion Evolve website and feature 400 interactive review questions along with a library of 10 full-text research articles
