Rezensionen

"This book is aimed at students who are learning about
evidence-based practice and have little understanding of research
and research methods." (Doody's, 16 September 2011)

"A very well written book. Made me more aware of how evidence
based practice is important to clinical practice."
3rd year adult nursing student, Salford University

"I was very impressed with this book. I think the content
is very encompassing, and is a very good resource. I enjoyed
reading through this book and felt that I learnt a lot from
it." 2nd year nursing student, Keele
University

"This text book is aimed at first time students that have
never used evidence based practice and who may not understand how
to go about researching and understanding journals and other
research methods. It is also really good for those students that
may be more familiar with research methods but who may wish for
clarification. It is definitely a text that crosses different
academic levels and would be just as useful for a student
completing their dissertation as those just starting a
degree."2nd year nursing student, University of
Manchester

"I would certainly recommend the book to my fellow
students and lecturer and I am going to take the book into
university for them to have a look at." 1st year
nursing student, Huddersfield University
