Burns and Grove's The Practice of Nursing Research: Appraisal, Synthesis, and Generation of Evidence

Winner of the 1st-place American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year award in nursing research/evidence-based practice for 2021! 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 addresses 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 COVID era. 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. Increased use of visuals includes the addition of more illustrations, tables, and boxes and increased use of color to improve comprehension for today's more visually oriented learners of all levels. Coverage of certain qualitative research content has been deemphasized to reflect the increased use of additional methodologies that are growing in use.
