Description
The new edition upholds the premise that knowledge about research process and design is mandatory in today's health care arena, and that
all nurses and midwives need to understand research findings and their implication for changing practice. It is completely revised with
many new chapters. The text has been restructured into three sections. Section 1 Research Awareness sets the scene for the importance
of nursing and midwifery research and provides an overview of research theory and practice as processes. Chapters on searching for and
reviewing the literature provide detailed advice for undergraduates and facilitate access to research articles online. One of the new
chapters discusses ethical issues in Australia and New Zealand. Section 2 Appreciation and Application provides a detailed discussion
of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research approaches with many useful examples from the clinical area. Section 3 Conducting
primary research is new and is designed to accommodate both undergraduate and postgraduate students in their research effort. Writing
research proposals may be a requirement for undergraduates in their research program and postgraduates will find the information useful
for undertaking a higher degree or applying for university or external funding. This final Section is also useful as a guide on disseminating
and publishing conducted research findings.
