520 _aResearch is now a fundamental part of midwifery practice. However, not everyone finds it easy to understand the basic principles, and particularly the language of research. This book offers an answer to these frustrations. The second edition of this introductory text explores and explains the world of research from the viewpoint of both those using it and those carrying it out. Using examples, Colin Rees demonstrates how quantitative and qualitative research projects are constructed, and how they are evaluated. The aim of the book is to enable midwives, midwifery students, and other health professionals, to apply research to their own practice. It should be useful for anyone, particularly students, who have to evaluate research articles or carry out a review of the literature, as it is packed with practical advice and tips.
