Product Description

This Resource Manual with its accompanying "Toolkit" CD-ROM is a study guide that provides abundant research tools unlike any on the market! The Resource Manual provides exercises corresponding to each chapter from Polit and Beck's Nursing Research, with a focus on critiquing actual studies. Students will find such comprehensive assets as 11 complete research reports covering a range of nursing research endeavors; full critiques of two systematic reviews providing models for a comprehensive research critique; and a never-before-published funded NINR grant application.

The free accompanying Toolkit CD-ROM offers dozens of resources for conducting research that can be downloaded and used directly or adapted. The resources reflect best-practice research material, most of which has been pre-tested and refined in the authors' own research, including such tools as: templates for wording research questions; informed consent forms; a confidentiality pledge for research staff; literature review protocols; content validity forms; and much, much more.

Required for MSN quantitative research class. Each chapter has big crossword (we don't do ) plus lots of questions applying to the chapter or examples given. Lots of studies in the appendices that questions are based on. Many sections also have answers to application questions in the back. Haven't used CD yet. I'm not big on workbooks but as far as this one goes I have found it useful so far.

This is a great book if you have trouble with termiology or need a boost in understadning of research for nurses, otherwise...the text book is great without this addition.

If I didn't need it for a class...I would never have bought this.

It hurts my soft-science brain to read.

I bought this manual hoping to help me in a graduate level course on Scientific Inquiry. I did not find that it was particularly helpful in preparing for my tests and quizzes. I am hoping that the different forms that are included might help me as I prepare to do my own scholarly project next semester.

I never got this book and I am pissed. The class is half way over and I got screwed out of my money.
