Rezensionen / Stimmen
The book is suitable for newcomers to research with no prior knowledge, hoping to access an introductory guide as a starting point or useful overview. Undergraduates in health sciences wishing to access an introduction to the research process or anyone wishing to dip their toe into the field of research will find this book helpful. -- Liz Charalambous * Nursing Times * This is a real must have for anyone interested or completing a course on research at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Moule presents a very nice overview of the research methods with the methodologies detailed in a logical format. The presentation of the information which includes commencing each chapter with learning outcomes accumulating in key points adds to the readability of this book. -- Nerys Bolton This book will be useful to students undertaking professional degrees in the relevant professions, and particularly for nursing and other health professions. The content helps to de-mystify what research is, and why its findings are essential for professional practice. -- Patricia Higham
