Advancing Nursing Science Through Research

by Elizabeth Aaronsohn and Linda E. Moody

This volume supports a theory-research course at the doctoral level and addresses statistical approaches for theory building. Numerous statistical applications are discussed and analyzed, including randomized clinical trials, meta-analysis, causal modeling, and the design and analysis of time series studies. Making this a well-balanced resource, contributors also consider nonstatistical approaches for theory building, focusing on the case study approach, foundational inquiry, hermeneutical inquiry and sociolinguistic inquiry.
