The Reality of Nursing Research - Politics, Practices and Processes (Paperback, New edition)

Nursing, midwifery and health visiting are relatively young disciplines and are shaped by their location at the interface of academia and practice. As a result, researchers are often unaware of and unprepared for issues which can have a major impact on their work.
Focusing on the nurse researcher's dual role as practitioner and researcher, as well as research ethics and the relationship between practitioner and academic agendas, "The Reality of Nursing Research" helps to:
- locate the practical dilemmas of nursing research in historical and policy context
- prepare those about to embark on research for some of the issues they will face
- reassure researchers that they are not the only ones to encounter the complexity of real life research
- support the research teacher or supervisor in preparing and mentoring their students
- share experiences of others who have encountered similar issues and provide some practical advice on their resolution.
This impressive and approachable text looks at the real life dilemmas faced by nurse researchers at key stages of the research process from developing a research question through to disseminating the findings. With illustrative case studies and practical advice for nurse researchers it will appeal to teachers of research, research supervisors and nurses undertaking research at diploma through to doctoral level.
