<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Research methodology is a dynamic enterprise. Even after writing 10 editions of this book, we have continued to draw new material and inspiration from ground-breaking advances in research methods and in nurse researchers' use of those methods. It is thrilling to share many of those developments in this new edition. We expect that many of the new methodologic and technological enhancements will be translated into powerful evidence for nursing practice. Four years ago, we considered the 10th edition as a watershed edition of a classic textbook, having added two new chapters. We are persuaded, however, that this 11th edition is even better than the previous one. We have retained many features that made this book a classic textbook and resource, including its focus on research as a support for evidence-based nursing, but have introduced important innovations that we hope will help to shape the future of nursing research"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Whether used to help students learn how to perform research or how to critically appraise research reports for use in practice, this authoritative, approachable textbook shows how nursing research is applicable across today's changing healthcare field. AJN award-winning authors Denise Polit and Cheryl Beck detail the latest methodologic innovations that have arisen in nursing, medicine, and the social sciences in their signature user-friendly style, accompanied by the helpful learning features, pedagogy, and clean design that have made this book a classic. <p/> The updated 11th Edition adds two new chapters designed to help students ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of research methods and the relevance and applicability of nursing inquiries.
