Description

While research texts abound in the nursing literature and nursing history fields, there has been no hands-on text for describing the process of doing historical research. This book, written by well known and respected nurse historians, will provide the necessary direction, guidance, and examples needed to conduct historical research.This title provides direction and tools for conducting historical research. It describes types of research including biographic and oral histories. It covers frameworks used to study historical events, such as social, political, feminist, intellectual, and cultural. It addresses contemporary issues such as preserving and storing digitalized and tape-recorded data and obtaining institutional review board (IRB) approval for research. It includes case studies providing ""how-to"" guidance in conducting historical research in nursing.Case studies are used throughout to illustrate various research methods and describe how, why, when, and where historical research is used in nursing.

Chapter 1: Why Do Historical Research?; Sandra B. Lewenson and Eleanor Krohn Herrmann; Chapter 2: Conceptual and Methodological Issues in Historical Research; Patricia D'Antonio; Chapter 3: Doing Historical Research; Sandra B. Lewenson.
