Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research

Empower nurses to translate research into practice through a structured five-step process exploring evidence hierarchies, quality improvement, and research design. Concisely segmented chapters and real-world case studies bring core concepts to life, guiding clinical decision-making.
Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research continues to be an essential resource for teaching students how to translate research into practice in an updated sixth edition. Built upon the foundation of the five step IDP process (knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation), this comprehensive resource guides students through the hierarchy of evidence while interweaving concepts such as the evolution of nursing science, quality improvement projects and how they relate to evidence-based practice, as well as search strategies and how to choose a specific research design.

Both students and instructors alike praise the organization and presentation of content from authors, Schmidt and Brown.

Chapters have been divided into 'bites', breaking down larger core concepts into smaller, easily digestible parts of the whole, ensuring nursing students grasp a key concept before progressing to the next. Furthermore, to bring content to life, they've woven the Apply What You've Learned case study throughout every chapter to illustrate the importance of hand hygiene. Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research, Sixth Edition delivers a solid introduction to nursing research and substantive strategies that will prepare nursing students for evidence-based point-of-care in their clinical careers.
