(BOTH VOLUMES BLURB VERSION 2)For years the field of nursing science has needed a resource that clearly links theory to research. Answering this need are two exciting volumes... volumes that scholars, nurses and students of nursing shouldn't be without. Advancing Nursing Science Through Research Volumes 1 and 2, are complete research tools that clearly address advanced research methods and modes of inquiry to test or generate theories. They offer scholars, practitioners, and students pluralistic research paradigms that facilitate study of the complex, human phenomena of concern to the field of nursing science. Volume 2 supports a theory - research course at the doctoral level. Part One deals with statistical approaches for theory building and includes discussions on randomized clinical trials, meta-analysis, causal modelling, and the design and analysis of time series studies. Part Two considers nonstatistical approaches for theory building, focusing on the case study approach, foundational inquiry and sociolinguistic inquiry.Moody, Linda E. is the author of 'Advancing Nursing Science Through Research, Vol. 2 - Linda E.
