Abstract:
The theoretical benefits of engaging in quality and research activities are readily apparent; however, engagement of clinical nurses in these pursuits remains challenging. In addition, the separation of quality improvement and research as distinct endeavors can impair desired improvements in patient outcomes. We propose that employing a clinical governance framework to inform nursing research in the clinical setting enhances the engagement of nurses in the generation and utilization of evidence to improve the quality of care.
