This book 'Assessing and Measuring Caring in Nursing and Health Science' provides all the essential research tools for assessing and measuring caring for those in the caring professions.

  • Chapters outlining instruments for care measurement, including Holistic Caring Inventory, Peer Group Caring Interaction Scale, and many more
