Front Cover
Nelson Thornes, Jan 19, 1995 - Medical - 208 pages
Extensively revised and updated, this text considers the types of problems in nursing research that can be tackled by qualitative approaches, and focuses on the schools of thought to which these relate: phenomenology, ethnography and grounded theory. It then addresses the principles of carrying out research and collecting and analyzing data, and concludes with an expanded section on how to report the research findings more effectively.
