| Summary: | "Research methods in palliative care is the first book on research methods to be written specifically on this subject. It has been edited by four academics with acknowledged expertise and international reputations in this field. It encompasses methods used in both clinical and health services research in palliative care, with sections on clinical, epidemiological, survey, and qualitative research, as well as a section covering skills needed in any research project. Each chapter provides readers with an up to date overview of the research method in question, and an understanding of its applicability to palliative care, in particular the challenges of using it in this setting." "This book is essential reading for all palliative care researchers and academics; trainees and professionals working in the palliative care selling; undergraduate and postgraduate courses in palliative care, palliative nursing, or related psychosocial disciplines; and clinicians with an interest in research methods."--BOOK JACKET. |
