How to Read and Critique Research
A Guide for Nursing and Healthcare Students



December 2022 | 160 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd

Do you find research challenging to read? Do you struggle to get to grips with a research paper?

Understanding, critiquing and using research is a key requirement of students studying nursing and healthcare. This bookwill equip you with the skills you need to understand research and use it in your practice and academic assignments.

The approach used in this book is unique: each chapter focuses on a published research paper – one you might be asked to read for a seminar or include in your academic work. In clear, straightforward language, the authors take you through each paper step by step, using it as a basis for exploring the underpinning research method or design, and how it has been reported.

Key features:

·       Each chapter focuses on a different research method by working through a relevant research paper

·       Identifies the main skills you need for your course: understanding research methods and critiquing articles

·       Written specifically for nursing and healthcare students by experienced nursing and health care lecturers

·       Develops your confidence in understanding research by helping you to apply your knowledge to real research papers.

The fact that this book clear covers the critique process for each methodology specifically, rather than generically, is extremely helpful for the students

Students struggle with critical appraisal of research so this is a very useful addition to their reading list. The book is well laid out and easy to follow for L6 academic writing.

Excellent book for undergraduate health and social care students. It will help them navigate researching for assignments in a well-organised way, and overcome the 'fear' of reading through articles.
