Overview
Introduction to Nursing Research: Incorporating Evidence Based Practice, Second Edition teaches students how to incorporate research into their daily practice, while incorporating all the newest trends and issues, with a focus on evidence based practice. The Second Edition has been updated to include sections on theoretical frameworks, translational research, sampling for longitudinal studies, and a larger focus on Institute of Medicine (IOM) competencies.
Synopsis
Rather than introducing nursing students to how to conduct research, Introduction to Nursing Research illustrates to students how they can incorporate research into their daily practice and how research relates to hospital policies and procedures. The book alerts the reader to focus on potential weak areas within the dissemination of the research project. Each chapter provides numerous clinical examples demonstrating the evidence-based application.
