UnderstandingResearch for Evidence-Based Practice helps develop the knowledge and skills you need to become a research-literate, evidence-based practitionerwith this user-friendly book. Mirroring the way practicing nurses read research reports, the book begins with a researcharticle’s conclusion— the section thatmostdirectlyaddresses the clinical meaning of a research study — and works “backward” througheach section in the researcharticle. Organized around user-centered questions, such as how conclusions were reached, which patients the conclusions apply to, and how the studywas done, each chapter beginswith a clinical case that identifies the clinical question the nurse is seeking to answer, followedbyoneor twopublished researcharticles thatdirectly relate to the clinical case.
