Brown’s Evidence-Based Nursing: The Research-Practice Connection continues to be a popular choice for graduate and upper level undergraduate students in an updated fifth edition. In an accessible and easy-to-read style, it introduces students to research methods and evidence-based practice. Students will understand research methods, how to appraise and use research evidence in clinical decision-making, and how to fully understand and engage in evidence-based practice. The unique Why-How-What format along with the exemplar studies throughout provide rich context for learning how EBP progresses from research results. The Fifth Edition was revised to feature LGBTQIA+ inclusive language and features a greater focus on information technology as it relates to EBP. Additionally, clear exemplars and appendices help fully explain key concepts while minimizing the potential for students to feel overwhelmed by the intricacies of scientific research jargon.
Brown’s Evidence-Based Nursing: The Research-Practice Connection, Fifth Edition is the clear choice for instructors seeking an application-focused resource for their students.
