It teaches qualitative and quantitative research methods of finding evidence to help students make informed decisions in their practice and for their clients. This new edition has been updated to reflect the increasing importance of evidence-based practice. It questions what type of evidence we need in health-care practice and explains how a research approach can help acquire the most suitable evidence for the situation. This book also addresses timely changes in conducting research, including internet and social-media research, research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and making sense of research data in a meaningful way.
