Description

The title of this text "Navigating the Maze of Nursing Research": "An Interactive Learning Adventure" is an accurate description of just what this book is. To counter the negative connotation of this subject, the book presents nursing research as an adventure that has many rewards for students once they experience it. Students navigate this maze, beginning with the foundational tools used to acquire knowledge and ending with chapters that address whole research articles. The approach is fun and casual, to make the student feel comfortable with the content. A CD-Rom with many interactive exercises is included inside the textbook. This package places a primary focus on the ability to read, understand, interpret and apply research results in multiple clinical settings. This total learning package is intended to teach the students about research information and application using hands-on activities.
