The Practice of Nursing Research: Appraisal, Synthesis, and Generation of Evidence, 7e (PRACTICE OF NURSING RESEARCH: CONDUCT, CRITIQUE, & UTIL ( BURNS))
"This classic research text has been updated for nursing students and those in nursing practice. Though a substantial book, it is easy to dip in and out of, covering a wide range of topics from the research process and analysing data to sampling and seeking funding.This new edition places great emphasis on researchers generating  evidence and appraising existing evidence for its application to practice...The book moves with ease from the introduction to more in-depth subject matter. Research jargon and terminology are explained clearly and the comprehensive glossary is second to none. In this new edition, there is greater emphasis on evidence-based practice at all levels of nursing, and on making the point that an understanding of research is paramount for all nurses whatever their role."Nursing Standard, April 2013"This is the seventh edition of this excellent textbook. It is a thorough and practical text, which introduces the reader to the world of nursing research and then leads them through the research process in detail...The internet link gives access to a quiz, activities, and sample research proposals, which are particularly useful and a welcome added extra...this book could be read by people from any medical discipline in order to understand the workings of research. It would be particularly recommended to research nurses, student nurses and existing or potential nurse researchers."Nursing Times, April 2013
