Product Description
Winner of the 2008 AJN Book of the Year Award!
“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
Even as there have been many research texts in the nursing literature, and nursing history is both taught in courses and of well loved interest to involved nurses, there has never been a hands-on text that describes the administer 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
