Summary:

An AJN Book of the Year in its previous edition, this resource thoroughly explores how to conduct and use research in a variety of clinical settings. It begins with an overview of how research is used in practice and how it affects quality assurance and clinical problem-solving. Then, it discusses practice outcomes, examines the forces influencing today's focus on outcomes, and provides guidelines for evaluating programs and avoiding pitfalls in data collection. Finally, this new edition presents strategies for facilitating research, gaining access to a clinical setting, acquiring funding, collaborating with other researchers, and conducting a study. It concludes with chapters on writing the research report and disseminating research through presentation and publication.
