Riassunto

This important book confronts the epistemological problems with which nursing as a discipline is struggling - most particularly with regard to the notion of truth in nursing inquiry. The book is divided into three parts: Part One is devoted to the kinds of truth in nursing inquiry; Part Two examines measures of truth; and Part Three explores expressions of truth in nursing inquiry. Section introductions and guiding questions assist readers in identifying and clarifying the issues and concepts being discussed, thereby helping them to focus on their own concepts of truth.
