title: The narrative research trail: values of ambiguity and relationships.
abstract: Engle Angela Chan sets out the experiential function of ambiguity in nursing research through a narrative study of Canadian college nurse educators. Through the methods of conversation, journal writing and participation observation, the author, who was also one of the participants, explored with her colleagues the impact of nursing education and healthcare changes on their teaching lives. The article examines how researcher-participant relationships illuminate research outcomes.
