Nurse teachers as researchers - Sally Thomson

Research and education are becoming inextricably linked in nursing and health care. Educators are now expected to undertake research themselves, and more importantly, to implement these research findings into their teaching practice.



This edited text will be essential reading for all health care educators and researchers. It consists of a range of research projects undertaken by nurse and midwifery teachers and demonstrates how these teachers have developed their practice by implementing research findings. Each contributor offers a personal account of their research process, highlighting the pitfalls and advantages of specific techniques. Practical aspects of a range of research procedures from phenomenology to statistical analysis are discussed and the reader is given a first hand account of the theoretical and practical issues to be considered when undertaking research.
