Abstract
This volume aims to explore research in community nursing from a range of different perspectives, focusing on the way in which the research is developed, conducted and used. Rather than presenting a series of straightforward ‘accounts’ of research studies, the intention within the volume is to explore the context in which research takes place, to illuminate important aspects of the research process that present challenges to the researchers concerned and finally to highlight the knowledge-building potential that research in community nursing offers.
