<br/><br/> By embracing the major conceptual and theoretical contributions to nursing research that are outside of "traditional" nursing theory, this is a vital resource for nurse researchers, and one that is indispensible for doctoral nursing students. The book examines in-depth the components of nursing theory and the types and uses of theory in nursing research and practice.
