Nursing research in context: appreciation, application and professional development

Let’s begin with what this book is not. This is, strictly speaking, not a ‘how to do research’ type book. It will not introduce the new researcher to the various research paradigms, nor will it explore the research process. This book will not take the reader through the different ‘ologies’ and ‘ographies’ to be found in research in any depth; neither will it examine, in detail, an assortment of different research methods that might be employed by a would be researcher.
