A1 - Stacey, Colin A1 - Cork, Alison SP - 49 EP - 55 VL - 14 IS - 1 N2 - This paper examines issues involved in the debate regarding the role of research in nursing. The authors take the example of violence and aggression in the emergency field to discuss methodological, philosophical, professional, logistical, power differentials and leadership theory that influence and explain the process of conducting research surrounding violence and aggression experienced by nurses working in emergency departments.
