AJN award-winning authors Denise Polit and Cheryl Beck clarify the language of nursing research and instill a practical understanding of nursing research fundamentals and the research process for both quantitative and qualitative studies — including design principles; sampling and data collection; criteria for assessing data quality; appraising the quality, rigor, and trustworthiness of studies; and approaches to understand the statistical results.
This updated edition incorporates the latest clinical insights and approaches to research to familiarize students with increasingly important considerations in today’s nursing practice, including the involvement of patients and stakeholders in translating research evidence to local settings; the appraisal of not only the rigor of research designs and methods but also the relevance and applicability of practice-based evidence; and the effective use of research in local quality improvement (QI) projects.- UPDATED! New organization simplifies the presentation of complex topics and better facilitates the use of research evidence in nursing practice.

Doody's 4 Star! Review
"This book provides a solid basis for nursing students or practicing nurses for understanding and using research. Of particular significance is the learner-friendly format and depth of resources both in the text and online. The objectives and useful tools act as a guide for students of research and better prepare them for practice and future scholarship. By book design, a solid framework for learning is created, supporting the intent of the book of discovery and understanding of research. The 10th edition enhances the previous work of the book and is well crafted and pertinent to current educational and practice needs." - Lynne Kuhl, MSN, RN for Doody's Book Review Service
