Making Sense of Research in Nursing, Health and Social Care Reviews

A nice introductory text and an ideal starting point for someone who is feeling overwhelmed by research.

-- Katie Smith, BSc Hons Adult Nursing student at Coventry University

An essential learning resource for healthcare students. It facilitates their engagement in the importance of research, clinical effectiveness and applying evidence to actual practice.

-- Joan Cochrane, Senior Lecturer, Northumbria University
In the current healthcare climate it is essential that undergraduate nurses develop the skills for critical appraisal and are motivated to engage with existing research. This text does indeed make sense of research with an interesting and reassuring approach.

-- Karen Day, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, Health and Wellbeing, University of Wolverhampton
The book is divided into stand-alone chapters allowing the reader to easily dip in and dip out; however each chapter presents many useful points also making it beneficial to read from start to finish. The good sequencing of chapters and topics gives a clear structured flow to the book. Each chapter has learning outcomes to guide the reader and key points to reinforce the main issues. -- Lynne Partington, head of research, Evaluation and Technology, The End Of Life Partnership, Cheshire
