Product Description

Product 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. The second edition of this introductory text 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.

The aim of the book is to enable midwives, midwifery students, and other health professionals, to apply research to their own practice. It is useful for anyone, particularly students, who have to evaluate research articles or carry out a review of the literature, as it is packed with practical advice and tips that really work.

An essential purchase for any student beginning research, An Introduction to Research for Midwives 2nd edition will be equally useful for those who wish to broaden their understanding of the subject and improve their use of research in practice.


From the Author

The aim of this book is simply to dymistify research not only for midwives, but all health professionals. It is written in down to earth language, and sets out to develop skills such as how to critique articles, and undertake a review of the literature. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: An Introduction to Research for Midwives (Paperback)
This is an essential text for students of midwifery, wanting acomprehensive easy to read research book. This book is always high indemand at the university library, which is the reason I am investing in myown copy! A good basic grounding in the research process, which inspiresand increases confidence to delve deeper into the subject.

This is a brilliant book, especially for student nurses. I had to do an intergrated critique of a qualitative and quantitative research article, and of all the books that were recommended to me, this was my bibile. it had all the answers to my questions and was generally brilliant! would highly recommend it to anyone!

4.0 out of 5 stars introduction to research for midwives, 31 May 2009
By hedgie (England) - See all my reviews
this is a really good book for 2nd year midwifery degree students. It is written in an easily accessible way and clarifies 'jargon' used in research. It contains a big glossary which saves trawling through dictionaries ,and is relevant to medical research instead of general definitions.A well worth book to own
