905b. Creating Method: Issues in Nursing Research. This doctoral seminar explores the “cutting edge” of methodological development in nursing research, through illustration of how methodological perspectives are conceptualized and systematically analyzed. The focus is on areas in which research leaders have not achieved consensus, areas in which existing consensus may be challenged, and areas of newly recognized needs for which appropriate methodology has not been developed. Special issues related to validity and threats to validity in clinical research and the experiences of participants in these studies are addressed. Three hours per week. J. Dixon.
