Teaching research methods to nursing students.

This article addresses the teaching of research methods to student nurses. An eclectic approach is advocated within which traditional, experiential and action-oriented methods are used. This approach is illustrated by means of an example in which it was used to help students understand the analysis of qualitative data. Suggestions regarding the integration of research within nursing courses are also given.

Voluntarism and health education in nursing.

The concept of voluntarism, as it applies to models of health education, underpins the nursing care of people who are chronically confused and their relatives. This article argues that voluntarism needs to be balanced by the notion of collectivism which takes full account of the contribution made by sociopolitical determinants of health. The central concepts of voluntarism and health education are defined and then the article proceeds to examine the extent to which voluntarism has underpinned various models of health education which can be used to support nursing practice. A critique of the concept of voluntarism, as used in health education, is provided. It is argued that models of health education which are polarized towards either voluntarism or collectivism are based on an inadequate understanding of human social action and that this polarization undermines the usefulness of these models of health education.
