Nursing Research in Canada: Methods, Critical Appraisal, and Utilization

Nursing Research in Canada is the first Canadian adaptation of the popular text by Lobiondo and Haber. The Canadian editors, Cherylyn Cameron and Mina Singh, have fully revised this edition to provide nursing students with an introduction to nursing research specific to the Canadian context. Canadian research vignettes open each section of the text, setting the stage for learning about Canadian nursing research. The book examines the Canadian history and roles of research in nursing, the processes of qualitative and quantitative research, the application and analysis of nursing research, and evidence-based practice. A strong emphasis is placed on the ethical and legal issues to be considered within Canada. Interactive learning aids throughout the book, such as research articles, critical thinking challenges, and critiquing criteria, help readers master important material and learn to apply the principles of research to Canadian nursing practice.
