Qualitative research, once on the fringes, now plays a central
part in advancing nursing and midwifery knowledge, contributing to
the development of the evidence base for healthcare practice.
Divided into four parts, this authoritative handbook contains over
forty chapters on the state of the art and science of qualitative
research in nursing.
The first part begins by addressing the significance of
qualitative inquiry to the development of nursing knowledge, and
then goes on to explore in depth programs of qualitative nursing
research. The second section focuses on a wide range of core
qualitative methods, from descriptive phenomenology, through to
formal grounded theory and to ethnography, and narrative research.
The third section highlights key issues and controversies in
contemporary qualitative nursing research, including discussion of
ethical and political issues, evidence-based practice and Internet
research. The final section takes a unique look at qualitative
nursing research as it is practiced throughout the world with
chapters on countries and regions from the UK and Europe, North
America, Australasia, Latin America, to Japan, China, and
Korea.
With an international selection of established scholars
contributing, this is an essential overview and will help to propel
qualitative research in nursing well into the twenty-first century.
It is an invaluable reference for all nursing researchers.
