Are you struggling to make sense of complex research papers and craft insightful critiques for your academic assignments? Then look no further!

Critical Appraisal Skills for Healthcare Students is your indispensable guide to understanding research papers, mastering critical appraisal, and most importantly, succeeding in your summative assignments. While this text is written with Level 5 students in mind, you will find it is a useful text at any academic level when required to engage in evidence-based practice.

In today’s ever-evolving healthcare system, the ability to critically appraise research evidence is crucial. In pre-registration programmes, this core skill is often assessed through written assignments. However, students can struggle not only to interpret research papers and evaluate their quality, but also to write about this appraisal in an academic way. This comprehensive textbook equips healthcare students with the evidence skills they need, while also enhancing their ability to produce high-quality assignments.

Authored by experienced academics with over two decades of teaching research and evidence-based practice, this text covers core topics such as:

  • The significance of evidence in practice, locating and selecting appropriate literature, and navigating assignments based on the appraisal of research
  • Strategies for reading research papers and understanding them before appraisal
  • The fundamentals of critiquing research, with Key Fact sheets summarising the design issues of specific types of research
  • How to move beyond EBP for academic assessment, towards using evidence in everyday professional practice

Critical Appraisal Skills for Healthcare Students is an excellent core text to master the art of critical appraisal and enhance academic performance.
