– working collaboratively.
Taking you through the process step-by-step, Action Research in Healthcare explains how to tackle each stage of your project – from planning the study and undertaking a literature review, through to gathering and interpreting data and implementing findings. Examples of action research projects are included throughout to illustrate how the method works in practice.
