Product Description
Essentials of Nursing Research: Appraising Evidence for Nursing Practice, Tenth Edition, by Denise F. Polit and Cheryl Tatano Beck, is the Wolters Kluwer paperback that teaches nursing students how to read, appraise, and apply research evidence in clinical practice.
Polit and Beck are the names behind the research methods texts most nursing programs use, and Essentials is the undergraduate and RN-to-BSN version. Rather than training students to run studies, it trains them to be intelligent consumers of research: how to tell a strong design from a weak one, what a p-value or confidence interval means for a bedside decision, how qualitative evidence is judged, and how to move from an appraised article to an evidence-based practice change.
What's included
- Essentials of Nursing Research: Appraising Evidence for Nursing Practice, Tenth Edition
- Authors: Denise F. Polit and Cheryl Tatano Beck
- Paperback, new
- Publisher: Wolters Kluwer
- ISBN-13: 9781975141851
- Critical appraisal guidelines and chapter study aids
Who it's for
BSN and RN-to-BSN students taking the required nursing research or evidence-based practice course, ADN graduates bridging into a baccalaureate program, and practicing nurses on unit councils or Magnet committees who need to appraise literature for a practice project. It is also the lighter alternative for graduate students who do not need the full Nursing Research text.
Why this edition
The Tenth Edition keeps the appraisal framework instructors rely on and updates the examples and research evidence throughout. If your course lists Polit and Beck Essentials, buying the edition on the syllabus keeps your chapter numbers and appraisal exercises aligned with the assignments.
