Do you find research challenging to read? Do you struggle to get to grips with a research paper?
Understanding, critiquing and using research is a key requirement of students studying nursing and healthcare. This bookwill equip you with the skills you need to understand research and use it in your practice and academic assignments.
The approach used in this book is unique: each chapter focuses on a published research paper – one you might be asked to read for a seminar or include in your academic work. In clear, straightforward language, the authors take you through each paper step by step, using it as a basis for exploring the underpinning research method or design, and how it has been reported.
Key features:
· Each chapter focuses on a different research method by working through a relevant research paper
· Identifies the main skills you need for your course: understanding research methods and critiquing articles
· Written specifically for nursing and healthcare students by experienced nursing and health care lecturers
· Develops your confidence in understanding research by helping you to apply your knowledge to real research papers.
