内容説明・目次
内容説明
Research Techniques for the Health Sciences focuses on pragmatic aspects of health science research. Underlying concepts and theory are explained and illustrated through a common-sense approach utilizing case studies.
All of the text's case studies are health-oriented in school, community, and hospital settings involving students, teachers, physicians, nurses, and health science researchers. New to this edition is an emphasis on online research, an Evidence Based Health Care approach to literature review derived from Evidence Based Medicine, and a reorganization of content presentation. These features allow students to dive into the research process sooner and approach ethical concerns within a more informed context.
