Description
This course is designed as an introduction to the role of nursing
research within the profession. The two goals of this course are:
(a) to increase nurses' awareness, understanding and appreciation of
the principles involved in nursing research and (b) to prepare
nurses to better understand and utilize research findings in the
continued effort to improve nursing practice. Students will be
prepared to read reports of nursing research and critically assess
their value in practice. To make this learning more meaningful,
students will be encouraged to apply the knowledge gained to their
own practice.
