Kielhofner's Research in Occupational Therapy

Methods of Inquiry for Enhancing Practice
A comprehensive guide to conducting applied research in the field from qualitative, quantitative, and mixed perspectives for students and clinicians.
RenÉe Taylor and an international team of contributors carry on Gary Kielhofner’s innovative vision to demystify the research process and demonstrate that research is essential to occupational therapy practice. They present a comprehensive guide to conducting applied research in the field from qualitative, quantitative, and mixed perspectives for students and clinicians.

You’ll begin with a grounding in conducting evidence-based practice in OT and an explanation of the six broad components of the research process. Then you will explore research designs, measurements, and statistical analysis for qualitative and quantitative studies. You’ll examine the steps and procedures required to conduct research and how research can be used to shape professional practice and improve patient care. Additional topics include needs assessment research, program evaluation research, mixed methods research, outcomes research for evidence-based practice, writing a literature review, and obtaining funding for research.
