Designing a product evaluation project using research principles.
Critical care nurses are frequently involved in the evaluation of products used to enhance patient care. The authors discuss how research principles can be incorporated into the design for product evaluation to provide reliable information for purchasing decisions and add to the existing body of nursing knowledge. Because of the increasing number of products available to critical care nurses, the authors describe how to use research principles to design a product evaluation study for several examples.
