Critiquing Nursing Research

Current nurse training, irrespective of the academic level, includes course work focusing upon research, research methods and critiquing nursing research. Despite this need for nurses to develop their critiquing skills, there is a distinct lack of information for them to draw upon. This book fills that gap. Written in a clear and concise manner, it explains why critiquing nursing research is important and relevant to nursing, and highlights the key features of critiquing nursing research, including: theoretical, substantive, methodolodical and presentational dimensions. As nurse education increasingly moves towards an all-graduate discipline, it will be vital for nurses to have the ability to critique research in order to benefit practice.
