"This well written and well edited book fills a unique gap....
one of the] precious few books] that focus on science or medicine
and one of] even fewer that cover the history of nursing."(Three
Stars)--"Doody's Book Review Service"
While there have been many research texts in the nursing
literature, and nursing history is both taught in courses and of
popular interest to practicing nurses, there has "never" been a
hands-on text that describes the process of doing historical
research in nursing. This book, contributed by well-known and
respected nurse historians, provides the necessary direction,
guidance, and examples needed to conduct historical research. It
covers such topics as historiography, biographical research, using
artifacts in historical research, doing archival and other data
searches, doing international historical research, and locating
funding sources for historical research. Case studies will be used
throughout to illustrate various methods and describe how, why,
when, and where historical research is used in nursing.
Features of this edition:
Provides direction and tools for conducting historical research
Describes types of research, including biographical and oral
histories Covers frameworks used to study historical events, such
as social, political, feminist, intellectual, and cultural
Addresses contemporary issues such as preserving and storing
digitalized and tape-recorded data and obtaining institutional
review board (IRB) approval for research, and addressing ethical
and legal issues in historical research Includes case studies that
provide a "how-to" guide to conducting research
