Synopsis

"Research is now a crucial function of health and social care practice. All professionals in these fields need to understand research and be able to apply it in their daily care. Making Sense of Research demystifies research by introducing the essential elements. The authors provide a foundation of research knowledge by explaining its role in health and social care, giving an overview of the research process and presenting a range of approaches both quantitative and qualitative. There is an emphasis on the development of critical skills and how to implement research findings in practice. Additionally, they cover ethical issues involved in research and the dissemination of evidence gained through research." This book is an invaluable introduction to research for students and qualified practitioners in the health and social care professions who have no prior training or experience in the area.
