Research and Evidence-Based Practice

Perfect for nursing students.
‘I’m a second-year nursing student starting to prepare for 3rd year, this book is brilliant in so many ways:
1) The lay out is clear and simple. From the first page explaining what the book aims to cover and how each chapter can be read in any order.
2) The depth of information was ideal, enough to understand but not too much that you overthink what you are reading leading too misinterpretation.
This book is useful in helping me understand what I need to be looking at and for going into my 3rd year and preparing for my research project and write my dissertation. From reading the other reviews and reading the book, I'm glad that I have this to help me through my final year of adult nursing.’

‘I would definitely recommend this book to any student starting a research module or even to refresh your memories ready for your dissertations/literature reviews. The content included is everything I would want to know as a student starting a research module. The glossary at the back is great for understanding the research terminology, which can often feel like a brand new language when you first start reading research papers. There are also handy references which you can use to do further reading and enhance your critical discussion within your assignments.
The book lives up to its intention to act as a lead-in to the research topic and has a clear and concise style throughout, whilst explaining things in the amount of detail needed to fully understand them. A must read for any nursing or health and social care student!’

Highly recommended for nursing and healthcare students!
‘I am a third year nursing student and have found this book extremely useful and interesting to read. The book provides a lot of key information in regard to evidence-based practice and understanding research. The book talks about different aspects of nursing research, explaining each process clearly and in-depth, while also using experiences and case studies to make them clearer.
I have used this book while writing my dissertation, the content in the book had everything I needed to know, with a lot of useful references as well to be able to gain critique in my work.
I would highly recommend this book to any nursing and healthcare students and anyone who wants to refresh on their evidence-based practice knowledge or even improve their best practice. This is a book that I would be keeping and referring back to when I need.’

A key resource for any social work/nursing student and health care practitioners.
‘As a social work student, I have found this book explores the essentials of evidence-based practice, providing a rich, explorative and additional seam of knowledge which I have found to be extremely useful, informative and refreshing. This will no doubt help to inform my practice as I seek to prioritise the engagement and involvement of service users (as experts in their lived experience) in evaluation and audit processes.
The format in which the information is laid out makes it very easy to read and on many occasions, I found myself hooked for several hours totally engrossed in the book with so many interesting variations, key cases, methodologies and research approaches that are clearly laid out.
This book will remain on my shelves for many years as I feel it will be my go to book with its invaluable step by step research processes which will help anyone to develop in practice.
I would highly recommend this book to social work students, nursing and healthcare students, social care practitioners and anyone with a keen interest in research and evidence-based aspects of health, nursing and social care and specially at the very affordable price too.’
