Riassunto

This accessible text supports health practitioners undertaking qualitative research to inform clinical practice, guiding readers through the decision-making process from planning and proposing, through data collection, to dissemination and impact. Qualitative research makes an important contribution to the health evidence base, including improving service provision, practitioner communication, and patient safety, as well as informing policies, generating important knowledge about health, and providing populations with a voice in the health context.

Balancing the need for practitioners to operate in an evidence-informed way, the increasing role of a research culture in the health service, and the everyday clinical demands faced in practice, this book includes strategies for managing the reality of undertaking qualitative research while working in clinical practice and includes a wide range of “bite size” chapters on topics such as:

• Quality improvement
• Evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence
• Managing dual roles
• Planning a project
• Working with stakeholders
• Ethics
• Data collection methods
• Conducting digital research
• Recruitment and sampling
• Data management
• Analytical approaches
• Thematic approaches
• Research with vulnerable groups
• Dissemination
• Translating research into practice.

This book is a practical resource for clinical researchers, designed to support the application of learning. Each chapter opens with learning objectives, and ends with a reflection on the chapter, integrating case examples and highlighting core issues. Practitioner experience boxes and reflective activities bring an invaluable real-world perspective to each chapter.

Qualitative Health Research is the ideal text for all healthcare practitioners and trainees new to qualitative research, including those from medicine, nursing, midwifery, psychology, allied health, and public health.
