Bücher von Janice M. Morse

By embracing the major conceptual and theoretical contributions to nursing research that are outside of "traditional" nursing theory, this is a vital resource for nurse researchers, and one that is indispensible for doctoral nursing students. The book examines in-depth the components of nursing theory and the types and uses of theory in nursing research and practice.

This text considers the types of problems that can be tackled by qualitative approaches. Methods of participant observation, interviewing techniques and case studies are described in detail and the authors have expanded the section on how to report the research findings more effectively.

This book provides urgently needed standards for qualitative inquiry while tackling the significant issues of what constitutes qualitative evidence. In particular, the book will address the place of qualitative evidence in the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care.
