Descriere
This text offers presentation and utilization strategies that help make the research process more “do-able” and exciting. It provides a theoretical basis in processes and principles, while highlighting the role of the researcher in advanced practice. More emphasis is placed on implementing research in a variety of settings than on undertaking original research. Norwood helps to reinforce the critiquing and implementing skills learned by students at the undergraduate level, and introduces the skills needed to assist in the research process. Current research and guidelines for writing and conveying research results are incorporated throughout.
