In this series you have learnt about research as it applies to researchers in general practice. You have seen how a research question is defined, examined how to search the medical literature to discover what is known about the topic, seen the use of qualitative and quantitative approaches to data collection and had explained to you some of the problems of data collection and analysis. As an active GP you may have found the topics interesting, but who has time for research? This final article in the series is titled 'Evaluating your own practice'. Every day you carry out this activity. Simple items like how long do your patients wait, or is there enough money earned to cover expenses? These are things you have been evaluating for a long time. You are an expert at evaluating many aspects of your practice. What I want to try and do in this brief article is to show you how knowledge of research approaches can help you by making it easier to carry out an evaluation and arrive at more accurate conclusions.
在本系列中，你已经了解了适用于全科医生的研究。你已经看到了如何定义研究问题，研究了如何检索医学文献以发现关于该主题的已知信息，了解了定性和定量数据收集方法的使用，并且有人向你解释了数据收集和分析中的一些问题。作为一名活跃的全科医生，你可能觉得这些主题很有趣，但谁有时间做研究呢？本系列的最后一篇文章题为“评估你自己的实践”。你每天都在进行这项活动。像你的患者等待多长时间，或者赚取的钱是否足以支付费用这样简单的事项。这些都是你长期以来一直在评估的事情。你是评估实践多个方面的专家。在这篇简短的文章中，我想尝试向你展示研究方法的知识如何通过使评估更容易进行并得出更准确的结论来帮助你。
