Research Methods and Audit for General Practice

Beschreibung

This book is the third edition of a highly successful book in the Oxford General Practice Series. The aim is to provide practical guidance to get you to the point where you will be able to complete and publish a research project of your own. In this respect the book is intended as a basic research primer. The book is organized to follow the research process, from the initial formulation of a researchable question, through the process of deciding on a plan (the design), choosing a sample, and devising appropriate measurement instruments, to the data analysis and final writing up of the project. The book is appropriate for individuals planning research and groups. The text has been extensively revised, in part as a response to the increasingly important part played by computers in research. But also research techniques are in a constant state of development so it was opportune to update sections on research design and statistics. The last chapter on audit has now been placed in the context of clinical governance.

Autor

David Armstrong wrote his first poem as a teenager, for personal satisfaction, but like so many young writers, he ended up putting his writing on the back burner until much later in life. Having recently retired from Ontario Hydro after forty-four years, he has been enjoying the opportunity to revisit past interests, like writing poetry, motorbiking, wildlife, fostering dogs, and taking care of the world's largest perpetually full bird feeder/bees nest, which is in his own backyard. David's wife passed away in 2003 after a long battle with cancer, but he enjoys spending time with his two children and five grandchildren, and looks forward to meeting his first great-grandchild, who is on the way. David lives in Scarborough, Ontario with his foster dogs....
