This nursing research text focuses on how to read, understand,
analyze, and evaluate research for utilization in clinical
practice. Acclaimed for its readability, clear presentation, and
balanced coverage of quantitative and qualitative nursing
research, the text provides in-depth research utilization and
utilization models in current practice. Four chapters of the
award-winning 5th edition have been fully revised to reflect the
needs of the Canadian market. Revised features include: a focus
on the political and economic realities affecting Canadian
nursing research; Canadian, United Kingdom and Australian
research examples added throughout; and aspects of Canada's
historical background, legislation, codes of ethics, principles
of justice, policy statements, guidelines and other documents.
Student Objectives and New Terms at the beginning of chapters,
as well as Summary Points, Suggested Readings and Critical
Thinking Activities at the end of chapters, provide students
with sound learning techniques and challenges to further develop
cognitive skills.
