      ab: Pediatric nurses have identified the importance of studying children within the context of their families. There have been calls for attention to the family as the focus of study and unit of analysis in nursing research. One of the most important strategies for designing a study that keeps the focus on the family is the maintenance of study integrity. All the strategic choices made by the researcher when developing the research design need to reflect the theoretical premises on which the study is built. Throughout the study design, components of well-constructed family research will demonstrate consistency with the overall conceptual framework.
