Reviews

'An excellent well established research text much valued not only by novice researchers and students but also by experienced nurse researchers and, indeed other clinicians as well. The third edition only serves to enhance this by a thorough updating of references, resources and research examples and the most effective introduction of three new chapters... All students of nursing should have this text recommended if not required for their research methods course and modules. This should prove particularly helpful for research proposal dissertations at UG and PGT level. It is also relevant for all clinical practitioners seeking to both understand and comment on research in the clinical settings.' - Tonks N. Fawcett, Professor of Student Learning (Nurse Education), University of Edinburgh, UK '...an extremely comprehensive, detailed yet lively book, which explains research in a way that students can understand and academics can enjoy.' - Dr Elaine Crisp, Lecturer, School of Health Sciences, University of Tasmania, Australia 'The new edition retains the tried and trusted ways of describing nursing research in a user friendly and precise way bringing with it a contemporary twist.' - Ian Peate, visiting Professor of Nursing, University of West London, UK and Editor in Chief, British Journal of Nursing. Head of School of Health Studies, Gibraltar
