The relatively recent big increase in funding by central government (both in the UK, as well as in other countries) of applied health research, has meant that many clinicians are having to engage in clinical research. Many of them will have no previous experience of doing their own research, and are likely to find the process completely baffling. How even to get started!

Produktbeschreibung
The relatively recent big increase in funding by central government (both in the UK, as well as in other countries) of applied health research, has meant that many clinicians are having to engage in clinical research. Many of them will have no previous experience of doing their own research, and are likely to find the process completely baffling. How even to get started! Moreover, there has been a rapid expansion in the number of clinicians doing Masters' degrees in health areas, of which dissertations are a large part. Increasing numbers of these people need research skills to enable them to do the required research and write these dissertations.

Additionally, the idea of EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine), is now widely accepted and is reasonably well established in the various disciplines of clinical practice. The "evidence" for successful and appropriate clinical practice is most frequently gathered from the research efforts of clinicians. One consequence of this is that it places a responsibility on all clinicians to, at the very least, understand research results.
By the time you've read this book, you'll be ready to design your own research project

Not everyone in clinical research is a scientific investigator. In fact, a large proportion of health professionals undertaking a research project are working in clinical care, as junior doctors, nurses or allied health professionals. For them a book that begins with the basics of study design and takes them through all the stages to data collection, analysis, and submission for publication is vital. Getting Started in Health Research is the answer. It provides fundamental information on:
Framing the research question
Performing the literature search
Choosing the study design
Collecting data
Getting funding
Recruiting participants
Writing your paper

Lively case studies provide a continuous narrative, addressing the pitfalls and problems that can occur.

Calling upon their vast experience of teaching health research methodology, these authors have turned a seemingly daunting task into a challenging and enjoyable prospect.

Rezensionen
"The purpose is to provide basic information for conducting a research project. This is a worthwhile objective, since many healthcare professionals who may not have a background in research have questions that need answers ... This will be a good guide as a starting point for conducting research." (Doody's, 20 January 2012)

"This is a well-intentioned introduction to health research." (British Journal of Cardiology, 2011)

"This book will appeal to students in all branches of the health profession and is warmly recommended." (Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2011)
