Develop the knowledge and skills you need to become a research-literate,
evidence-based practitioner with this user-friendly book. Mirroring the
way practicing nurses read research reports, the book begins with a
research article's conclusion--the section that most directly addresses
the clinical meaning of a research study--and works "backward" through
each section in the research article.
Organized around user-centered questions, such as how conclusions were
reached, which patients the conclusions apply to, and how the study was
done, each chapter begins with a clinical case that identifies the
clinical question the nurse is seeking to answer and one or two
published research articles that directly relate to the clinical case.
