For undergraduate nursing students, RNs returning to school, and practicing nurses, this text explains how to use and read research in practice. Houser (Regis U.) describes the importance of evidence in nursing, the research process, ethical and legal issues, planning and design, and types, including descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative. She covers appraising research, using it in practice, and the skills needed to create projects and participate in research teams. Instead of focusing mostly on interpreting inferential research, she emphasizes imparting a fundamental understanding of all types of research that can be used as evidence.
