Nursing Research: Generating and Assessing Evidence for Nursing Practice , Tenth Edition has been updated to incorporate new methodological advances and, to the extent possible, substantive examples used to illustrate concepts will be from articles published in 2013 to 2015. The organizational structure introduced in the 9th edition will be maintained — i.e., content focusing on quantitative research will be in Part III, and content on qualitative research will be in Part IV. Features • NEW! Chapter on conducting a pilot study (Ch. 28). The literature is full of articles reporting the “findings” from pilot studies, but a lot has been written in the past five years about (a) how little guidance there is for designing and reporting pilot studies; and (b) how poor the quality of many pilot studies is, in part because researchers misunderstand their purpose and fail to establish important benchmarks. This new chapter will present cutting-edge guidance on undertaking pilot studies for nursing intervention research. • NEW! Chapter on a hot new topic, clinical significance (Ch. 20). As a gold standard text, Polit & Beck are at the forefront of trends by being the first to cover clinical significance. • Research Examples. Each chapter concludes with one or two actual research examples designed to highlight critical points made in the chapter. In addition, many research examples are used to illustrate key points in the text and to stimulate ideas for a study. • Critiquing Guidelines. Most chapters include a section devoted to guidelines for conducting a critique of each aspect of a research report.. • Clear, “user friendly” style. The authors paid special attention to writing in an easily digestible and non-intimidating manner. Concepts are introduced carefully and systematically, difficult ideas are presented clearly, and readers are assumed to have no prior exposure to technical terms. • Specific practical tips on doing research. The textbook is filled with practical guidance on how to translate the abstract notions of research methods into realistic strategies for conducting research.
