Description
With an increasing emphasis being placed on the importance of therapists carrying out research, this book should prove invaluable. It provides the therapist with the information and understanding needed to set up a research programme, collect and analyse the data and write a project. Detailed examples of statistical methods relevant to therapists are included. Research in practice is essential, not only for the well being of patients, but also for the survival of therapeutic professions. Today there is great emphasis on value for money and thus it is important to demonstrate that our treatments work and are delivered in the most cost effective way possible. It is important in helping therapists to learn to evaluate the work of others in a critical and constructive way. Research is ultimately essential for the survival of the professions. This book should be of interest to occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech therapists.
