Reading, Understanding, and Applying Nursing Research PDF

If you have done research in most other fields of study, then much of this book's advice will be familiar and germane. Like analysing existing research efforts and identifying [or trying to at least] the hypotheses of those efforts, especially if these are not explicitly delineated.

Issues of sampling methods figure prominently in the book. Here you need some understanding of elementary statistics, and ideas such as purposive sampling and sample adequacy. The book has a concise take on key statistical ideas. Enough for a qualitative understanding. But you really need a more indepth text on statistics if you are actually going to conduct research.

Purchased this REQUIRED text for my nursing research class. We were instructed that the CD would be required to complete assignments. When I opened the CD packet (this makes the book non-returnable) I realized that it is a PC only CD. This will not work in my MacBook computer. It is also impossible to use this CD with a public computer becasue it must be installed. I emailed the publisher and received NO response. I then called them today and was told by customer service that I need to purchase the fourth edition. Great customer service! No explanation, no offer of a discount and no apology!
