Historical Research Methodology in Nursing
Main Article Content
Abstract
Historical research is a research process that helps researchers understand past events in order to better understand the present and future events. Conducting historical research in nursing is uncommon, since some scholars consider it as only data collection and organization but not research. However, other scholars are aware of its value and have founded associations in many countries. There are very few nursing researchers employing historical research methodology in Thailand. The purpose of this article is to present the basic tenets of historical research methodology, its critiquing guidelines, and potential scope for future historical research in nursing.
