Notes On... Nursing Research - (Notes on (Nursing)) by Dominic Roche & Clare L Bennett (Paperback)

About the Book

"F. Nightingale wrote two health focused books, Notes on Nursing and Notes on Hospitals. This proposal is to develop a series of short, affordable books that address nursing-specific topics in note form. Each book will address a key nursing topic in a concise form, with short chapters covering relevant and central issues that nurses and nursing students will find helpful and informative. The proposal is for Notes On... Nursing Research. This book aims to inspire and support undergraduate nurses in both understanding and undertaking nurse-led research. It also aims to serve as a useful resource to nurses who are more advanced in their careers who require an update in research methods. It is a contemporary introductory text which links current key debates in nursing research to research practice. Throughout, the authors will provide vignettes to share their personal experiences of nursing research in order to illustrate particular topics"--
