Nursing Research: Theory and Practice

by Michael Hardey

Historically, nursing research has struggled to establish its theoretical roots and legitimate place within the wider arena of the Health Sciences. However, today, nursing and nurses recognise the diversity and richness which reflects nursing practice and research. By providing readers with an understanding of the current issues in this area, the book aims to raise awareness of the opportunities and constraints of different approaches and of the current milieu of nursing within the NHS. Studies, which have been conducted by the authors, illustrate the realities of the research world and how it functions in today's society.
