Concentrating specifically on research into midwifery and related
disciplines, Appraising Research into Childbirth is designed to
equip midwives and midwifery students with the necessary tools to
navigate the maze of evidence-informed practice and the very
different kinds of research that are published in midwifery,
medical and related journals. The book appraises eight previously
published research articles that present both qualitative and
quantitative research studies. Each of the various elements is
analysed - from the methodology through to the interpretation of
the results. Each article is annotated with notes and questions,
thereby enabling the reader to actively participate in the
appraisal. Tips, tools and checklists aid orientation and quick
recall of salient advice and a guide to statistics helps to
demystify what is generally considered to be a daunting element of
most research. Each chapter is pulled together by the ongoing
discussion about how we can "find out" and "know" by doing research
and the advantages, disadvantages, potential for philosophical and
methodological bias and political ramifications of such work.
Presents a range of quantitative and qualitative research articles
relevant to midwifery practice in a unique workbook format Enables
readers to gain hands-on, practical experience of critiquing
research Supplementary tools, checklists, mnemonics and tables
