Thus it necessarily shares aspects of their human frailty and apparent fickleness: it refuses to be bound by the conventional methods used to create boundaries in scientific research. In these days of clinical governance, action research provides a valuable means of developing responsible and reflective practices that takes into account the different stakeholders within a public service environment.  \u003cp\u003eAction research in health care is something of a 'new age' approach, and as such it is only beginning to be recognised and acknowledged for its tremendous potential in bringing professionals and their patients and clients closer together. This book is written in response to all those of you who have struggled in vain to find a practical, concise and yet insightful account of the use of action research methods in health care practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Principles of action research design\u003cbr\u003e Preparing a proposal\u003cbr\u003e Managing action research\u003cbr\u003e Writing a valid account\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: Guidelines for critiquing action research\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Further reading\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Nursing \u0026amp; ancillary services\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Nursing%20\u0026amp;%20ancillary%20services%20%5BMQ%5D%22\"\u003eMQ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52515969138968,"sku":"9780632040919","price":51.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780632040919.jpg?v=1786674267","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/action-research-in-health-care-paperback-softback-9780632040919","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
