Abstract

In 2003 the "discourse of science ", which developed while establishing nursing-research in Germany, was investigated by the Hessian Institute of Nursing Research. Ten narrative interviews with nurse scientists who particurlarly participated in this discourse were conducted. The interviews were analysed by means of a qualitative content analysis.
