Description

About This Book Most complementary health care practitioners recognize the potential of scientific research to enhance the effectiveness of their work and further its public understanding, but they often have limited education in research literacy. Without this basic skill, the idea of finding and analyzing studies can be intimidating; understanding and using research studies to improve professional practice can seem like an intriguing but quite distant prospect. Making Sense of Research is written for just such individuals. It starts 'at the beginning' with an explanation of the scientific mindset and standards for classifying and evaluating research studies. The reader is taken step by step through the processes involved in locating studies and evaluating each aspect of a study, including the design, methods, results, and conclusion. An excellent resource for students, teachers, and clinicians alike, Making Sense of Research is a foundation text for complementary practitioners in the new millennium.
