Connections: Nursing Research, Theory, and Practice

by Anne Young, Katherine McLaughlin Renpenning

This new text brilliantly discusses theory and research, the importance of the connection between the two, and the interlinking cyclical connection between clinical practice, research, and theory. Core chapters review major nursing theories, research tools related to each theory, review of research conducted to support or advance each theory, and ideas for continued research. Finally, the text includes select reliable and valid nursing theory research tools to be used for research. More than just a theory and research text, this valuable resource helps students in the research process make the connection between a real world clinical question, nursing theory, appropriate research tools, and actual research.
