Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses: Appraisal and Application of Research, Fifth 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 authors employ a fresh and updated approach to teaching nursing research using evidence-based practice. This text is incredibly inclusive and a terrific fit for undergraduate classrooms. The Fifth Edition features a new chapter on evidence hierarchy, new information on mixed-methods research, updated "Apply What You've Learned" articles, and more. Additional content has been added on the evolution on nursing science, quality improvement projects and how they relate to evidence-based practice, and search strategies and authentic web content. Chapters throughout the text have been updated, with significant changes made in chapters on evidence appraisal, quality and outcomes, and change theories. This new edition pays a great detail to the Magnet Recognition Program, which is becoming increasingly important for hospitals.
