From the Back Cover:

Research can seem difficult to get to grips with. However, at the heart of this book is the view that research is essentially a simple activity, the principles of which can be readily understood by students new to the subject. Research is illustrated through examples of activities familiar to students from their daily lives, which help build confidence in undertaking research and evidence-based practice.

This book is designed for all students of nursing and healthcare who for the first time find themselves studying research. Each chapter guides the reader to uncover the ‘mysteries’ of research. The book exposes each aspect in turn, while demonstrating how research in nursing and healthcare is a practical activity, orientated directly to patient care.
