`This is an ambitious contribution to the ever-growing market for
research textbooks. The book concludes with an excellent appendix
on sources of literature... useful for postgraduate students and
staff wishing to fill gaps and/or double-check their facts' -
Physiotherapy `In lieu of serving up the usual fare of methods and
applications to be chosen from at whim, it concentrates on
clinicians with limited time who wish to evaluate research rather
than necessarily do it themselves.... If you already have a book on
research methods...this book will still fine-tune your antennae to
the good, the bad and the cant' - The British Journal of Healthcare
Computing and Information Management 'Recommended reading' - Oxford
Brookes University, Oxford Practitioners across the caring
professions increasingly need to know where evidence can be found
and to evaluate different forms of evidence with a critical eye.
This invaluable collection includes exemplars of a wide range of
research techniques and provides a critical commentary for each.
The commentary is designed to tackle jargon and demystify the text,
highlighting the compromises that need to be made in real world
research designs and the complexity of controlling relevant
variables. The book seeks to underline the challenges of
interpreting and generalising results both for the researchers and
for those who fund their work. This is a set book for the Open
University course K302 Critical Practice in Health and Social Care.
