Ethnographic research and older people.
It may be argued that groups of older people share a common culture. They develop similar values and communicate customs, social mores and beliefs that help them make sense of their situation. To understand this, researchers need to adopt an approach that focuses on the ways in which meanings and values are communicated. This article provides an introduction to ethnographic research, the focus of work and the classic challenges that await the nurse researcher. It recommends additional reading and explains what is typical of field research using this approach.
