This straightforward guide to evidence-based practice helps you to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to challenge practice that is not underpinned by research and evaluate if interventions are working.Providing a basic introduction to both quantitative and qualitative research, Debra Evans explores how to find out ‘what works best’, what might do harm, the impact of something and what requires more research.

Packed with examples from practice across the nursing fields and at different levels, this book is essential for nurses – both student and qualified – who want to increase their confidence when it comes to research appraisal.
