About this ebook
Nursing Research: Reading, Using, and Creating Evidence (6th Edition) by Janet Houser and Kenneth Oja is structurally designed around three core competencies: reading research, using evidence in clinical practice, and participating in or creating research studies. [1]
The textbook simplifies complex topics through a conversational and accessible approach. The core topics covered throughout its seven structural sections are outlined below: [1, 2]
Part I: An Introduction to Research
- Nursing Evidence: The critical role of systematic research in driving and improving professional nursing practice.
- Research Process: Foundational methodologies and standard "traditions of knowing" within scientific inquiry.
- Ethics & Legality: Comprehensive overviews of institutional review boards (IRBs), patient rights, legal frameworks, and historic ethical guidelines in clinical research. [1]
Part II: Planning for Research
- Hypotheses & Problems: Formulating searchable clinical research problems, focused questions, and operational hypotheses.
- Literature Reviews: Best practices for executing thorough, successful reviews of literature to locate existing evidence.
- Theoretical Frameworks: Utilizing conceptual structures to properly ground a new research study.
- Design Selection: Choosing the ideal qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods architecture for a project. [1, 2]
Part III: Fundamental Research Processes
- Sampling Strategies: Methods for identifying, selecting, and recruiting study populations.
- Measurement & Data: Fundamental principles of measurement tools and structured data collection methodologies.
- Study Validity: Proactive techniques used by researchers to minimize bias and maximize internal/external validity. [1]
Part IV: Research that Describes Populations
- Descriptive Procedures: Framing descriptive research questions to observe demographics, frequencies, or baseline metrics.
- Descriptive Data: Summarizing, visualizing, and formally reporting basic descriptive statistics. [1]
Part V: Research that Measures Effectiveness
- Quantitative Procedures: Constructing experimental and quasi-experimental clinical trials to measure the efficacy of interventions.
- Quantitative Analysis: Interpreting and reporting inferential statistics, p-values, and mathematical outcomes. [1]
Part VI: Research that Describes the Patient Experience
- Qualitative Procedures: Formulating qualitative inquiries (e.g., phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography) to capture human experience.
- Qualitative Analysis: Code extraction, thematic analysis, and structural reporting of qualitative data. [1]
Part VII: The Use of Research as Evidence
