UnderstandingResearch for Evidence-Based Practice
helps develop
the knowledge and skills you need to become a research-literate,
evidence-based practitionerwith this user-friendly book. Mirroring the
way practicing nurses read research reports, the book begins with a
researcharticle’s conclusion— the section thatmostdirectlyaddresses
the clinical meaning of a research study — and works “backward”
througheach section in the researcharticle.
Organized around user-centered questions, such as how conclusions
were reached, which patients the conclusions apply to, and how the
studywas done, each chapter beginswith a clinical case that identifies
the clinical question the nurse is seeking to answer, followedbyoneor
twopublished researcharticles thatdirectly relate to the clinical case.
