The need for all health care professionals to develop research appreciation skills has been recognized and emphasized. Otherwise, research remains irrelevant and unrelated to practice. Traditional research textbooks have used the format of the research process which makes research seem even more difficult and remote. This book is different. Because the purpose of research appreciation is to enable practitioners to use research to develop and improve practice, it focuses instead on the skills of research appreciation and application which are distinct from the skills necessary to undertake research. It prepares you to access, critically evaluate, understand and use research-based literature within the multi-disciplinary context of today's health services, and emphasises:The range of sources of knowledge which inform nursing practiceContemporary research and the context in which health care research and development takes placeCritical evaluation of research reports and research-based literature, examining the implication of project design and conductThe range of skills needed for the application of research findings and innovation within practice

The primary aim of Writing Research is to create a frame of reference for writing research from a number of approaches to inquiry; and for a number of purposes. The content is directed to identifying principles for writing from within commonly used methodologies and methods in health research, which will guide writers to transform research data into written forms. The emphasis will be on the writing task, not on how to conduct the research, which follows after research data has been collected. The explanatory aspects of the content of the book will assist researchers in the development of research proposals and those who critique or review research for any purpose.

The importance of evidence-based nursing and the need to be research-minded means that all nurses must be aware of research and use it to inform their practice. But how can you find out what research is available? How do you find your way around reports? And how can you decide what research is relevant to your practice? This book will help. Thousands of nurses found the first 2 editions' down-to-earth style and step-by-step guidance invaluable. The new edition will retain and enhance this straightforward approach, but reflect changes in locating and reading research, including the impact of new technologies such as CDROM, Medline and the Internet.
