Essentials of Nursing Research: Methods, Appraisal, and Utilization

Rating:
Summary: A bible in nursing research
Review: The book includes all basics concepts that every person need to understand, concept and go on with a nursing researcg project. In my career as a nuring research teacher this has been our "bible" (mine and my students').

Rating:
Summary: Not all it is cracked up to be
Review: This book obviously rests on the laureates of Polit and Hungler who were once well known for their research texts. This is just a revision of the same old...same old. The chapter on qualitative research is incomplete, and the examples are outdated. There are many newer more up to date and creative texts that focus the students to CRITICALLY think about what they are reading as they read it. This text does not. Keep it on the shelf, or use it as a doorstop.
