DEANNE K., Hilfinger Messias  and  JEANNE F., DeJoseph. Feminist Narrative Interpretations: Challenges, Tensions and Opportunities for Nurse Researches. Aquichan [online]. 2004, vol.4, n.1, pp.40-49. ISSN 1657-5997.

An affinity for narrative is shared by researchers across a broad range of disciplines. Narrative inquiry is an option for nurse researchers who are interested in using qualitative methods to explore experiences with nursing, health and illness. In this paper, we discuss the methodological and epistemological challenges, tensions and opportunities we encountered in the process of developing feminist narrative interpretations, an approach to narrative inquiry grounded in both nursing and feminist perspectives.

Keywords : Feminist research; narrative; narrative interpretation; nursing research; qualitative research methods.
