Research Methods in Nursing and Midwifery is a clear introduction to the principles used in research and systematic reviews for evidence-based practice.

Beginning with the foundations of the research process, each chapter builds upon knowledge to cover specific research methods, population, sampling, data collection and analysis.

This user-friendly text is rich with learning support for nursing and midwifery students, including easy-to-read flowcharts, practical examples and tips, practice exercises and additional resources to expand their knowledge of the research process and methodology and their application to evidence-based practice.

The second edition has been substantially restructured and refocused to provide students with new chapters and pedagogy to provide nursing and midwifery students with a clear and accessible guide to all aspects of the research process and the skills to confidently apply research to their professional practice.
