| Summary |
"Theory and Nursing: Integrated Knowledge Development offers a comprehensive review of nursing's fundamental patterns of knowing and the methods for creation of knowledge within each pattern. Written in a clear, accessible, and interesting style, this new fifth edition includes the valuable information on theory development that was presented in previous editions, but now also includes individual chapters that address ethics, personal knowing, aesthetics, and the processes for developing knowledge in each of these domains. The addition of this new information places empiric theory within the context of a broader sphere of knowledge that includes all four patterns of knowing."--Jacket |
