The Research Process in Nursing

The Research Process in Nursing serves as an introduction to both critically appraising published research and implementing research findings in practice and to undertaking empirical research. The fifth edition provides a comprehensive overview of how to critically appraise published research, systematic reviews, the main research designs and methods of data collection and analysis used in nursing research, together with an examination of evidence-based practice and the implementation of research findings. It also meets the needs of those seeking to undertake research by providing a comprehensive account of the stages involved in the research process, including preparing research proposals, research designs, methods of data collection and analysis and writing research reports.
