Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research
Authors: Nola A. Schmidt, Janet M. BrownOVERVIEW
Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research, Sixth Edition is an essential resource for teaching students how to translate research into practice. The text is based on the five step IDP process (knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation). The hallmark feature of this text is its presentation of content. Each chapter is divided into ‘bites’ which make the chapters quick to read and easy to understand. To bring content to life, the authors have woven the “Apply What You’ve Learned” case study throughout each chapter to illustrate the importance of hand hygiene. Lastly, the Sixth Edition features a hierarchy of evidence which helps students identify the types of evidence that fit within each level as well as the tools necessary to appraise evidence.
