Free Nursing Dissertations - (parker And Lawton 2003) Despite Being Both Authoritative And Informative,
(Parker and Lawton 2003)
Despite being both authoritative and informative, careful reading of the article shows that the authors only used a small cohort (nine). The analysis and presentation of the results appears to be rigorous. One of the most significant findings of this particular study is, arguably, the demonstration that web-based interventions have the potential not only to work and to support the patients in general terms but advice, such as dietetic advice, is actively sought and implemented by some patients. The authors conclude that the most important pre-requisite to obtaining a successful outcome, was the fact that the patients had the opportunity to discuss the shortcomings of the project before they entered it
