Qualitative research for allied health professionals

About this book

"Qualitative Research for Allied Health Professionals - Challenging Choices is a practical text, which addresses the links between philosophy, research method and practice in an accessible, readable way." "The subtitle, 'Challenging Choices', carries a double meaning: qualitative research is both challenging (ie, demanding and stimulating) to undertake and likely to be challenged and contested. In particular, the choices researchers make when designing, carrying out and reporting research will attract scrutiny." "The book is structured in three parts. Part I sensitizes readers to the complex issues which challenge qualitative researchers at the planning stage of their projects. In Part II, the challenge of using different methodologies is critically explored by eleven authors who describe their individual research experiences. Part III examines the choices researchers make when they evaluate and present research."--BOOK JACKET.
