Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Now in full color, the Sixth Edition of this highly acclaimed introductory research text continues to focus on how to read, understand, analyze, and evaluate research for use in nursing practice. This thoroughly updated edition has a greater focus on evidence-based practice, developing critiquing skills, and continued expansion of qualitative research. The text includes four full research reports, two of which have full written critiques. A new Instructor's Resource CD-ROM includes PowerPoint slides and actual complete critiques (done by the author) which help faculty guide students' learning of how to critique research articles. The Student's CD-ROM has review questions and activity sheets which help increase comprehension, strengthen recall, and develop critiquing skills.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Book came in very good condition. CD-rom was also in cover of book.
I was very impressed with the overall condition of the book also the fact that this seller had the CD rom included in the book which was also in good condition. Shipping was quick.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - RN
Not user friendly, however I saw the rating before I purchased so I had an preview. I have to agree still that the book is not user frienly.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - 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: 2 out of 5 stars - 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: 3 out of 5 stars - 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)
