If you are a health care student just starting out in your training, or are returning to practice after a break, the Foundations in Nursing and Health Care series is for you!
In the only multiprofessional, introductory series for health professionals, each title is written in an interactive and accessible way from a shared learning prospective. This unique series can be used as a complete learning tool or each title can be used individually as a guide to a specialist area.
With the advent of clinical goverance and evidence-based practice, the ability to underatke research now takes an increasingly prominent place in your skills set as a health professional. With a clear and systematic approach, Introduction to Reserach is an introductory text that leads you through the whole research process. Mark Walsh and Lynne Wigens begin with the basics such as which models of research to use for different projects and then progress to developing the more advanced topics, including how to critique and evaluate someone else's research. A useful inclusion is a photocopiable checklist of points which you can write notes on and keep with every piece of reserach you critique.
Key Features:
- Provides all the relevant underpinning theory without assuming prior knowledge.
- Case Studies drawn from multi-professional settings and reflective activities demonstrate scenarios and encourage you to question how to practice and learn.
- Regular Top Tips and Key Points provide convenient signposts to good practice and summarise concepts under discussion.
- Chapters commence with Learning Outcomes and conclude with Rapid Recap short answer questions (answers are provided in an Appendix).
- Cartoons reinforce the theory and add to the attractive two-colour design.
