  'It is an excellent book...very highly recommended.' The International Journal of Nursing Studies 'The authors of this book have made a very successful attempt at de-mystifying the process by unravelling the whole and revealing the stages involved.' Nursing Times First edition of Nursing Research in Action was published in 1990. Since its publication, nurse education has changed dramatically, with Project 2000 commencing, and most nurse education linked with colleges, further, and higher education. The second edition of this successful book is taking this into consideration. It now addresses both the needs of Project 2000 students and undergraduate degree students. It offers more details on how to do qualitative research. The revised edition offers more information on each of the topics in each of the chapters. The activities and exercises remain while some new ones are added. A wider range of research sources are referred to. This new edition is more comprehensive and appropriate to an even wider market.

  The book offers an explanatory approach to most aspects of the research cycle. Both quantitative and qualitative methods of doing research are addressed as are a variety of ways of collecting and analyzing data. The reader is encouraged to draw up a research proposal, identify their data collection methods and methods of analysis. They are then directed towards writing up the project. A series of information boxes is offered throughout the text to illuminate certain aspects of the topics under discussion. At the end of the book, as we have already noted, there is a compendium containing further information on all sorts of aspects of the research process.
