Qualitative Research in Nursing: Advancing the Humanistic Imperative

Copertina anteriore
Lippincott, 1995 - 326 pagine
"Qualitative Research in Nursing: Advancing the Humanistic Imperative presents the essentials of qualitative inquiry as applied to nursing. All commonly employed approaches and methods are covered, as are a number of new generation approaches, along with a sound philosophical and methodological framework for each. Understanding is enhanced by the book's format of examining each approach within a discrete chapter, which is immediately followed by a related chapter containing research reports illustrating the application of the approach in three distinct areas: nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing administration." "Significantly, while the book presents the nuts and bolts of conducting and analyzing qualitative research, it does so within a context best described as humanistic and holistic. Insight and intuitive knowledge, rather than statistics alone, are the objectives of this unique and much-needed work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
