Part I Nature of Research and the Research Process -- Part II Planning a Research Study -- Part III Utilization of Nursing Research.

"Research plays an integral part in determining the roles and responsibilities of nurses. Enhancing knowledge of research and practicing research skills can help nurses increase their appreciation of how research influences the quality of patient care. Reading, Understanding, and Applying Nursing Research is directed toward undergraduate students, RNs returning to school, and practicing nurses. This seventh edition continues to emphasize how to read research reports, evaluate them critically, and apply findings to practice by providing more examples of nursing research throughout the book. The steps of the research process are illustrated with excerpts from studies that have been published in nursing literature. The quality of patient care depends mainly on the quality of nursing research. Understanding the research process components and integrating scientific knowledge with practice to make informed judgments and valid clinical decisions are critical. Reading, Understanding, and Applying Nursing Research provides the skills to help students understand what researchers are trying to communicate in published research reports"--Provided by Publisher
