Nurses work in complex situations with daily challenges, where the needs of each patient represent unique demands. Action research helps nurses to investigate their practices as reflective practitioners, allowing them to ask 'What is going on? How do we understand the existing situation? How do we improve it? With action research, nurses can do more than just understand the context of their profession: they can also change its future. The book encourages practicing nurses to take leadership of their profession in order to: Build practice around patients by developing a patient- centered focus where all are involved in their own healing. Generate theory from practice. Develop communities of enquiring practices." -- Provided by publisher.
