SUMMARY
The Carnegie Report and the IOM Future of Nursing Report outline the necessary
improvements to nursing that are paramount for the advancement of health care. These
reports, along with the new health bill passed by Congress, reflect a strong movement
towards implementing effective teaching while managing evidence to ensure that there
is appropriate management of health issues in the United States. Because of this, the
demand for a text that creates the connection between evidence-based practice and
research is greater than ever. The Third Edition of Introduction to Nursing Research:
Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice meets this need. This edition emphasizes the
meaning of evidence and how it relates to research, and includes current information
and updated references. With brand new chapters and practical examples that provide
context for students, this text is surely the best available resource for nursing students
today.
KEY NEW CHAPTERS:


Chapter 2: Overview of Evidence - This new chapter addresses the qualities of
evidence, how it is used, the levels of evidence and strength of evidence
concepts, and the place evidence holds in management of patient care. It
addresses the different ways that evidence should be considered within health
care, and provides discussion about the demand from accreditation
organizations and Medicare reimbursement departments related to the need for
evidence-based practice.
Chapter 14: Translation Research and Application - Translational research,
sometimes referred to as action research, attempts to move research into the
practice arena and allow for the most up-to-date management of health issues.
This chapter explores this approach, discusses its application to nursing, and is
directed toward making research and evidence-based practice even more
practical for the nurses at the bedside.
