Free Nursing Research: Methods and Critical Appraisal for Evidence-Based Practice, 7e
It seems that the negative customer reviews of this textbook have focused on it being dense and hard-to-understand. I believe that this is true, but it's not because of the content of the ideas; indeed, I've found this textbook to be a pretty darn good introduction to research. Many topics are introduced and explained at length, and I'd be a liar if I said I didn't learn anything from reading it. I have a better understanding of research methods, terminology, and techniques for appraising various types of research coming out than I did going in.
The book's big problem- its most basic flaw- is that much of the writing is jargon-intense, academy-approved academiababble. It's not that the words are too large all of the time; they're not. In fact, important new terms are highlighted and explained quite coherently. However, there are more than a few passages containing sentences in excess of three, four, even five dozen words or more. I'm talking paragraph-length sentences, here. In places, the text looks like so much word salad. It's all a little hard on the eyes.
The authors are in love (and rightly so!) with the law of triple, which all of us use all of the time when writing in good English; here, however, they don't want you to forget that they are talking about "an idea, concept, or theory," so instead of coming up with a way to state what they mean in a way that avoids repeating those terms, they will simply say "idea, concept, or theory" every time they refer to an idea that could apply to all three of those things. It seems like a small, silly thing when I explain it like this, but they way they do it adds dozens and dozens of words to the text; brevity was not their goal.
