Abstract

"Research Literacy for Health and Community Practice introduces students to fundamental research concepts that will enable them to think critically about research and recognize effective methods for understanding and utilizing research for practice. Rather than outlining methods for conducting research, this textbook teaches skills for engaging with research literature, including how to frame and organize knowledge, interpret and evaluate evidence using qualitative and quantitative approaches, distinguish between research and other forms of information, and use this evidence in practice settings. It is written in a style that makes understanding basic concepts of research less intimidating and more user-friendly. This second edition features content on Indigenous knowledge and research, including contributions by two Indigenous scholars, as well additional examples of qualitative and quantitative designs, updated content on literature reviews, and updated exercises and examples throughout the text to balance the focus on medicine and nursing and broaden the scope to include different care providers in health, community services, and other fields."-- Provided by publisher

Abstract

Many researchers dread writing. They find it laborious - even painful - to put their scholarly work into words. They get bogged down in the study, and lose track of the story. And they produce uninspiring papers that fail to resonate with readers or reviewers. This book offers an antidote to this problem: brief, accessible lessons that guide researchers to write clear and compelling scientific manuscripts. The book is divided into three sections: Story, Craft, and Community. The Story section offers advice on getting the balance of study and story just right, introducing strategies for tackling each section of a scientific manuscript. The Craft section considers the grammatical and rhetorical tools of the trade, showing how they can be wielded for maximum impact. And the Community section offers suggestions for writing collaboratively, supporting other writers, and navigating peer review. Each section features multiple short and pragmatic lessons, peppered with illustrative examples. -- Provided by publisher.
