With deep gratitude for all the comments, ideas, suggestions, and contributions from friends, colleagues, students, reviewers, and JBL editors. And I also want to express my appreciation for fellow researchers, whose efforts have done so much to improve our lives. Your work has greatly enriched the content of this book. Many, many thanks.

Special thanks to Jeaneen Muller for her assistance in preparing this manuscript.

This third edition of Advanced Nursing Research: From Theory to Practice reflects the continuing increase in the complexity and sophistication of nursing research. New and expanded topics include the use of big data, mixed methods, increased emphasis on protected health information and data security, the Revised Common Rule, translational research, implementation science, predatory publishing, research priorities from the National Institutes for Health (NIH), and many other emerging topics. The addition of a new chapter on mixed-methods research reflects the growing interest in hearing the voice of the participant (often a patient), even in our most positivistic quantitative research.

The emphasis on learning how to conduct nursing research has not changed, nor has the perspective that engaging in nursing research is an exciting, challenging, and ultimately very rewarding endeavor. Mixed methods continue to emerge as a valuable approach, combining the best of both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Finally, a big thank-you to all of the readers of the first and second editions who have made suggestions for improving this book. I am especially grateful to the students who have said, I keep your book by my side, as they worked on their research studies, although still a bit puzzled but appreciative of the student who told me, I sleep with your book under my pillow. (Did that help?)

I hope that you will find this book useful for planning and conducting research and helping others learn how to do nursing research. Your comments and suggestions for future editions are always welcome. Please email me via the publisher at .
