• Balanced but distinct coverage of both the qualitative and quantitative approaches to nursing research acquaints students with the processes behind research and evidence-based/evidence-informed practice. • Complete, high-quality research examples, including four sample critiques, demonstrate how to apply the judgement and reasoning principles outlined in the text to published quantitative and qualitative research studies. • Research Vignettes introduce students to real-world practitioners of nursing research and help bridge the gaps among clinical research, academia, and clinical practice. Vignettes cover timely topics facing Canadian nurses. • Effective learning aids in every chapter include Key Terms, Learning Outcomes, Research Hints, Evidence-Informed Practice Tips, Appraising the Evidence, Critiquing Criteria, Critique of a Research Study, Critical Thinking Decision Paths, Critical Thinking Challenges, Critical Judgement Questions, and Key Points.
• Research examples updated throughout to reflect the latest applicable high-quality literature, with an emphasis on Canadian-authored studies. • NOTE: Additional changes will be identified in a Summer 2023 planning call based on planning surveys completed in late June.
