The Handbook of Midwifery Research

About this book

An accessible introduction to the spectrum of research in maternity care

The Handbook of Midwifery Research, Second Edition, enables midwives and student midwives to search and make sense of research evidence, write research proposals, and undertake and disseminate research studies. Written in a concise and accessible style, this book includes useful tools and techniques to keep readers up to date with the best available evidence to apply to their own clinical practice. This second edition has been extensively revised to reflect current midwifery research and involves a range of study designs. The book is divided into three parts: understanding research, undertaking research, and publishing research.

The Handbook of Midwifery Research includes information on:

  • Different types of reviews and steps to assess them when little information is published on a topic
  • How to use a search strategy and search terms, including the PRISMA guidelines and flowcharts to show search stages systematically
  • Critical analysis of reported research, and integrating results and findings
  • Quantitative and qualitative data collection methodologies, and mixed methods with specifics on convergent, sequential explanatory, exploratory, and hybrid study designs
  • The history and role of ethics in healthcare, midwifery, and research governance
  • The importance of the links between research, education, policies, and clinical practice

With case studies, learning objectives, and clear examples throughout, The Handbook of Midwifery Research is an essential learning resource for any midwife or student wanting to approach research with confidence.
