[Support Strategies and provincial survey on nursing research]

The Board of Directors of the Nurses College of Venice has started a promotional strategy in order to stimulate the nursing research that will be developed in the next two years. There will be five different actions. Among them, an annual meeting on this subject. During the first of these meetings, a questionnaire has been given to the participants, to evaluate their interest for specific topics and investigate on their previous research experiences. The results show a variety of interests. Nevertheless the main topics are sanitary management and work safety. Furthermore, by splitting the preferences by subjects, it has been observed a greatest interest for organizational activities, the quality of assistance, the clinical nursing and the personal relationship with the customers. The collected data show also that only a small amount of participants has already managed some research projects that ended up with a scientific publication.
