Nursing research in practice: the case study revisited.
This paper makes reference to some of the many issues and problems surrounding nursing research in the context of the rural and remote areas of Australia. The focus is on the use of case studies as an appropriate methodology for small-scale research projects and for students preparing for examinations at higher degree levels. Throughout this paper, the term rural will be used to denote rural and remote area nursing. This is for convenience and does not deny the special qualities of rural or remote area nursing.
