GNUR 5426 - Research and Theory for Nursing Practice

This course focuses on developing an understanding of fundamental aspects of research critique and common approaches to design and conduct of research relevant to nursing. While qualitative and quantitative approaches are introduced in this course, the understanding and use of statistics in the context of research and research critique is emphasized. The use of theory while focusing on methods underlying evidence-based approaches to nursing practice will be applied. Selected theories that are relevant to evidence based nursing practice will be critiqued for usefulness and application in an effort to link theory, evidence, and practice. Practice problems which form the basis for examining evidence application in nursing will be discussed.
