This book provides all the essential research tools for assessing and measuring caring for those in the caring professions. Watsons text is the only comprehensive and accessible collection of instruments for such measurement in clinical and educational nursing research. The measurements address quality of care; patient, client, and nurse perceptions of caring; and caring behaviors, abilities, and efficacy. Newly update, this edition also contains three new chapters, which document the most effective caring language and provide innovative methods of selecting appropriate tools for measurement based on validity and reliability.
