Abstract:
School nurses have demonstrated a keen interest in research and the research process with the purpose of generating evidence that supports their practice and increases the value of school nursing services. This article will help school nurses to formulate research questions and to identify the components of the research question that delineate the next steps in the development of a research study from such questions. School nurses benefit from collaborating with experienced nurse researchers in order to gain competence in defining research questions.
