Understanding Nursing Research: Reading and Using Research in Practice

by Carol L. Macnee

Unique in its full-color design and reader-friendly conversational tone, this text links understanding of nursing research directly with evidence-based practice. The text begins with the results of the research and explains the steps of the research process to answer key questions about how the conclusions were reached, how the study was done, who was in the study, and why it was done that way. Distinguished by icons, qualitative and quantitative research are integrated throughout the text. Each chapter includes clinical vignettes and highlighted key concepts and ends with an out-of-class exercise referencing the clinical vignette and stimulating critical thinking for the next chapter. A Connection Website features student study activities(connection.LWW.com/go/macnee).
