Description
Research is now a fundamental part of midwifery practice. However, not everyone finds it easy to understand the basic principles, and
particularly the language of research. This book provides an answer to these frustrations by helping readers apply research to their
own practice. The second edition explores and explains the world of research from the viewpoint of both those using it and those carrying
it out. In simple language and with clear examples, Colin Rees demonstrates how quantative and qualitative research projects are constructed,
and how they are evaluated.
Audience
Undergraduate midwifery students and practising midwives.
