Description
Brown, a nurse and consultant, acquaints nursing students with evidence-based practice. She introduces them to research methods and different kinds of research evidence, including qualitative, descriptive, correlation, experimental, and cohort research and systematic reviews, incorporating seven research articles in the first section. She then discusses practice aspects like asking clinical questions, searching for evidence, and appraising research evidence, recommendations of clinical practice guidelines, the conclusions of integrative research reviews, and the findings of original studies, as well as how research evidence is combined with other types of evidence, scenarios for participating in an evidence-based activity, and research-informed practice. This edition has new information on evidence-based practice as a component of the safety and quality movement; research examining implementation of evidence-based changes in practice, such as translational research; standards for producing practice guidelines and systematic reviews; and evidence formatted for point-of-care reference. Online access to a glossary, flashcards, crossword puzzles, exemplars, appraisal guides, and student study guides is included. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
