The sixth edition of this book reflects significant developments in nursing research in recent years, ensuring the reader is provided with the very latest information on research processes and methods. It continues to explore how to undertake research as well as evaluating and using research findings in clinical practice, in a way that is suitable for both novice researchers and those with more experience.

Divided into six sections, the chapters are ordered in a logical fashion that also allows the reader to dip in and out. The first two sections of the book provide a comprehensive background to research in nursing. The third section presents a variety of qualitative and quantitative approaches,  both new and well–established. The final three sections then look at collecting and making sense of the resulting data and putting the research findings into clinical practice.

• Summarises key points at the start of each chapter to guide you through
• Includes contributions from a wide range of experts in the field
• Accessible but doesn t shrink away from complex debates and technical issues

About this title

Review:

"This new edition is worth buying, too." ( Nursing Standard, July 2010)

The first edition of this book was published 20 years ago and I wish I had seen it then. It is only over the last 10 years or so that I have actively become more interested and this book would have certainly stimulated my interest much sooner.

If you are undertaking a research activity it is a book that helps you each step of the way. A very understandable and enjoyable publication.
