Summary

Perfect for BSN-level Nursing Research Courses! Rather than introducing nursing students to how to conduct research, Introduction to Nursing Research illustrates to students how they can incorporate research into their daily practice and how research relates to hospital policies and procedures. The book alerts the reader to focus on potential weak areas within the dissemination of the research project. Each chapter provides numerous clinical examples demonstrating the evidence-based application. View Sample Chapters! Are You Interested in Using this Text but Need More Information?
