An invaluable tool for health and social work students and
professionals who want to improve their practice through
collaborative research with patients, clients, and colleagues.
Throughout history, some of the most prominent contributors to
health and social sciences have been men and women comfortable with
both practice and academia. But today, research in health-related
fields is increasingly conducted in specialized settings by people
who are first and foremost researchers. Critics bemoan this loss of
practice-based research, long considered a vital part of the
contribution that doctors, nurses, public health workers, and
social workers can make both to their field and the communities in
which they work. Unfortunately, the explosion of new discoveries in
health-related fields, along with the exponential increase in the
amount of knowledge being produced and the growing demands of
practice, have caused both the production and application of
knowledge to become highly specialized and increasingly complex.
This has resulted in a widening gap between research and practice.
Recognizing the need for a guide to this type of research,
Practitioner Research for Social Work, Nursing, and the Health
Professions is a thoroughly reimagined version of a book originally
published in 2011 in the Netherlands. Aimed at American
practitioners, it is a highly practical guide for anyone in social
work, nursing, and other health care and social welfare settings.
Its seven-step Practitioner Research Method offers readers a
tried-and-true approach to conducting research in their own work
environments, and the authors use real-world examples to highlight
strategies for overcoming barriers and incorporating research.
While leading practitioners through each stage of the research
process, the authors explain in detail how to apply a variety of
field-tested tools and techniques. A unique and indispensable
resource for students in undergraduate and graduate research
courses, as well as for seasoned professionals who seek a practical
guide for developing and implementing their own research projects
in social work, nursing, and the health professions, this book is
also the first textbook to introduce the concept and practice of
practitioner research to an American audience.
