Polit & Beck's Essentials of Nursing Research: Appraising Evidence for Nursing Practice (Eleventh Edition) by Jane Flanagan and Cheryl Tatano Beck
This trusted textbook offers nursing students a clear, practical foundation for understanding and evaluating research, equipping them with the skills needed to critically appraise scientific evidence and apply it confidently in clinical practice. The book covers the essential building blocks of nursing research, including study design, data collection, statistical analysis, and ethical considerations, all explained through accessible language geared toward students who may be new to the research process.
Now in its eleventh edition, the text continues to emphasize evidence-based practice, helping students bridge the gap between research findings and real-world patient care decisions. Clear examples drawn from actual nursing studies, along with critical-thinking exercises throughout, guide students through the process of reading research with a discerning eye, so they can determine which findings are trustworthy enough to inform their own practice.
Written by Jane Flanagan and Cheryl Tatano Beck, building on the foundational work of Denise Polit and the late Cheryl Beck's earlier editions, this edition continues to serve as a widely used resource for undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, published by Wolters Kluwer and valued for making research literacy approachable for nurses at every stage of their education.
