Full Description
Originally published in 1986 this book presents a review of specific international themes in nursing research, particularly methodological issues; policy and funding issues; preparation for nursing research and other perspectives such as publication and the role of professional associations in nursing research development. In the past, geographical political, cultural, educational and economic barriers all contributed to insularity in nursing, but the authors maintain that there are many common problems and the profession can benefit greatly by an exchange of ideas. The chapters were written by leading authorities in the UK, USA and Canada and the book will be of use to student and practising nurses.
