2002 Research Study Report

Our first research study was titled "An Emancipatory Study of Nursing Practice."  The purpose of the study was to illustrate what it is like to practice nursing today.  Nurses sent us stories that represented what it is like for them to practice nursing.  We have received fifty-two stories from nurses using anonymous email messages.  From these stories the research team has developed metastories and artistic representations to reflect what the stories told.  Click here to see the original study proposal

The study also includes a phase of commentary in response to our synthesis.  If you wish to respond to what we have presented here, please do so by sending an email to peggy.chinn@uconn.edu.  You may remain anonymous. 

To view the metastories and artwork, click on the links at the top of this page.
