Editorial Review:
This introductory nursing research text assists consumers in evaluating research findings in terms of their scientific merit and potential of utilization. The text compares naturalistic inquiries (qualitative studies) and traditional scientific research (quantitative studies) with regard to each aspect of a study. In-chapter research examples, both fictitious and actual, provide the student with opportunities to critically read and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the studies in relation to concepts presented in each chapter. Two full research reports included at the end of the text facilitate the development of critical reading skills. The fourth edition features a stronger balance of qualitative and quantitative research and increased coverage of Research Utilization content -- the steps in a research utilization project are identified and an example is provided.

Rating:  - terrible text
This text is horrible. Its disorganized. Has many run-on sentences and you'd have to reread the whole sentence to figure out what you were trying to comprehend in the first place. Not at all concise. The examples or horrible to follow. One has to flip back and forth through pages to figure out what exactly its talking about because the paragraphs changes topics in mid sentence...literally!! It begins on one topic and jumps to an entirely new subject and then ends with..."we'll discuss this topic ... Read More
Rating: - Was ok
I bought this book to help me with my class. There were some helpful items in there. But most things were in the form of crossword puzzles - who feels like doing that! So I ended not really this book much before my final. I don't think it help me to better comprehend the material
Rating:  - Read this when you can't sleep.
I truly think that this book was my cure for the occasional insomnia that comes with nursing school. I found it dull and not too spectacular. THe examples are boring and the terminology went over my head a couple of times. Otherwise it was fine for a book on research basics, but I;m sure there must be something else more exciting out there... Of course, we are talking about research here... :) (just kidding)
