An indispensable guide to understanding, applying and conducting research in practice

It is essential that nurses and midwives are able to understand, interpret, synthesise and apply research for effective practice. Nursing and Midwifery Research is a well-established, highly regarded and comprehensive resource that covers all the key fundamentals needed to become and be an evidence-based practitioner.

This book provides an accessible and user-friendly roadmap of the entire research journey, from the conception of a research idea or question through to planning, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of findings. Readers will develop strong skills in research literacy and critical appraisal, and thus build confidence to embark on research projects of their own – an aim of developing research awareness and knowledge.

Written by research experts in their fields specifically for undergraduate and postgraduate students and clinicians in Australia and New Zealand, and fully updated in its seventh edition, this book is a perfect introduction and long-term resource to support research methods and evidence-based practice throughout their professional careers.
