Overview

Doody's Review Service - 5 Stars! 

Basic Steps in Planning Nursing Research: From Question to Proposal is the perfect introduction to the research process. It demonstrates how to develop an effective research plan and guides readers through all stages of the process from finding a research topic to the final written proposal. With an in-depth focus on the planning process, this text is an excellent resource for both beginners and novices in developing a research plan.

The Seventh Edition continues to teach readers how to prepare an appropriate question and topic in addition to the steps necessary to formulate a conclusion. New to this edition are updated chapters, references, current information, and a renewed focus on evidence-based practice and research ethics. Included at the end of the text are proposals that engage readers in learning.
