2021 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year winner — 1st place in Nursing Research/Evidence-Based Practice!
Burns & Grove’s The Practice of Nursing Research: Appraisal, Synthesis, and Generation of Evidence, 10th Edition, is the trusted resource for mastering the research methods that are foundational to evidence-based practice. This highly respected textbook covers how to appraise and apply existing research evidence, as well as how to participate in research and quality improvement projects. This edition has been extensively updated to reflect the most current research tools and techniques used in the digital era, and includes clear, step-by-step guidelines for all major quantitative and qualitative research approaches — including supporting examples from the latest high-quality literature.
Key Features
- Coverage of quantitative, qualitative, and other research methodologies provides a solid foundation to conduct, appraise, and apply research evidence to the realities of today's clinical practice
- Balanced coverage of qualitative and quantitative methods includes not only quantitative research methods but also the qualitative research methodologies that are often the starting point of research projects, particularly in magnet hospitals and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs
- Strong emphasis on evidence-based practice addresses this key concept from the 2021 AACN Essentials and reinforces how to generate research evidence and appraise and synthesize existing research for application to clinical practice
- Rich examples from nursing literature bring research principles to life
- Emphasis on the most currently used research methodologies focuses on the methods used in both quantitative research and qualitative research, as well as outcomes research and mixed methods research
- Coverage of digital data collection examines the use of online research tools, particularly in the post-COVID era
New Features
- UPDATED! Content reflects the most current quantitative and qualitative approaches to nursing research, evidence-based practice, and quality improvement projects, as well as the most current research tools and techniques used in the digital era
- UPDATED! Research examples throughout incorporate the best examples of current literature, with increased emphasis on international examples to reflect the increasingly global nature of nursing research
- EXPANDED! Additional visuals include more illustrations, tables, and boxes and increased use of color to improve comprehension for today’s more visually oriented learners of all levels
- UPDATED! Certain qualitative research content has been deemphasized to reflect the growing use of additional methodologies
