About the Author
"A very useful and helpful accumulation of tools not only to be used in instructing graduate students on research methodology, but also a text that could be utilized by hospitals and home health as well as long-term care agencies in evaluating their organizational needs as well as their staff’s attitudes and perceptions. I would highly recommend this text."
