NURS285 - Winter 2024
Library Support for Nursing
The following Nursing Research Guide is intended to help students find information to support research and learning in nursing. Knowing how to effectively and efficiently find quality information is not only relevant to academic purposes (i.e. assignments and research papers). It is also essential for clinical practice.
"RNs demonstrate evidence-informed practice, and participate in and lead research, quality improvement activities, and policy development to promote quality client care by ensuring nursing interventions are supported by evidence-informed rationale." (p. 9).
Definition of Evidence-Informed: "The process of combing the best available evidence through a variety of sources such as research, grey literature, experience, context, experts, and client experiences and perspectives." (p. 12)
