This book is the first ever to offer a contemporary collection of
different perspectives on person-centredness in international
doctoral nursing research. The research in the book is based on the
ideas and values of personhood and person-centeredness, which have
been used and can be seen to guide research approaches, inform
research designs and theorize research findings. Further, a
specific framework for person-centred nursing is embedded
throughout the research studies presented in the text. The
Person-centred Nursing Framework (PCNF) developed by Brendan
McCormack and Tanya McCance in 2010, is recognized as a nursing
theory and this book further develops it as a basis for research
and for advancing person-centredness in nursing. The framework
informs all stages of the research process, from design through to
dissemination.The book is structured into a number of highly
engaging chapters written by doctoral candidates, and recently
graduated candidates. The opening and closing chapters, written by
the editors, place the subsequent chapters in a global context of
person-centredness and nursing. The potential for person-centred
nursing research to be a global movement is recognized and debated.
The subsequent chapters lead readers through philosophical ideas,
methodologies and methods whilst also offering reflective and
honest insights into learning how to become a person-centred
researcher. This field is growing and developing but yet there is
no specific book available. As a result, researchers spend
considerable time and effort translating existing research
methodologies into person-centred perspectives. This book fills
this gap and acts as a key resource for future nurse researchers.
The text is intended for, and benefits nursing doctoral candidates,
masters candidates and academic staff who teach and supervise
research candidates; it may also appeal to other graduate learners.
The book has international contributions which makes it appealing
internationally.
