The book includes all basics concepts that every person need to understand, concept and go on with a nursing researcg project. In my career as a nuring research teacher this has been our "bible" (mine and my students').

"We have never been so enthusiastic about any of the earlier editions of this book..." and "introducing important innovations" is written in the preface of the 6th edition of this well known and highly appraised textbook. New to this edition are: Enhanced Assistance in Critiquing Studies, More Emphasis on Evidence-Based Practice Implications, Better Coverage of Qualitative Research, Greater Facilitation in Learning the Basics and Enhanced Support for Instructors!

However, probably because of the greater facilitation in learning the basics and enhanced support for instructors, the book now looks like a school book for primary schools! Lots of "consumer tips", "examples", "how to tell" and "additional questions" etc. in colourful boxes, the writing in too many different colours and stiles and a terrible layout! For me this is not helpful at all and I regret not having purchased an earlier edition!

Maybe all those changes support learning on a very basic level, but it is certainly most disturbing for learning and use on a higher educational level!

I do not recommend this edition of a formerly excellent book!
