A broad guide to nursing research and evidence-based practice

This tenth edition connects the main stages of nursing research: evaluating and synthesizing existing evidence, generating new evidence, and applying findings in clinical practice. It covers quantitative, qualitative, outcomes, and mixed-methods research, alongside quality-improvement projects and digital data collection. Examples from nursing literature, including international research, accompany the methods. The book’s scope makes it a reference for understanding how research approaches relate to evidence-based nursing practice, rather than a guide to a single methodology.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Nursing students and practitioners building a foundation in research methods
  • Readers involved in evidence-based practice or quality-improvement projects
  • Those seeking an overview of quantitative, qualitative, outcomes, and mixed-methods approaches
