The Sixth Edition of this classic text maintains its place as the "Gold Standard" of nursing research. Internationally known, respected and used, the text provides readers with the skills they need to design and implement a research investigation and critically evaluate published research reports. Now completely revised and updated to reflect the latest trends in quantitative and qualitative research, this classic offers a focused, "how-to" approach. New in this edition: expanded discussion of qualitative approaches; demonstration triangulation; stronger emphasis on the "hands-on, how-to" methodology; more in-depth examination of research differences; more powerful research utilization.
This book was required for a graduate-level statistics course. It is readable and helpful. I highly recommend it.
Great book!

I got this book for a graduate research class and it's great! It has an easy to understand language and the summary of important terms at the end of each chapter makes it easy to review. It is also a not-so-big book.
Excellent

Just what I needed for my master's course, and it was less expensive than the university bookstore!

Good text and reference

The book begins at a very elementary level and progresses systematically through topics that are more complex, providing the reader with a good understanding of the principles and practices of research and with tools for analyzing the quality of research. I'm sure I'll be referring to this well-written book for many years to come.
