Pain as a mutual experience for patients, nurses and families: a perspective from Shanghai, China.
The author of this article visited China for the purpose of helping the faculty of the School of Nursing learn research skills by participating in research--a kind of learn by doing. Both investigators had conducted quantitative studies in the US--one with children and one with adults--that were adapted for use in China. Seeking to also include a qualitative study, the investigators explored several possible research areas. Because pain is a universal phenomena, it was chosen as the subject for the study using the qualitative methodology reported in the first part of this article.
