The Journal of Nursing Administration
|July 1, 1985
Summary
Nursing administrators require research for quality and cost decisions. A consortium trains nurses to conduct research, addressing the shortage of nurse-researchers and improving nursing service.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Administration
- Health Services Research
- Nurse Workforce Development
Background:
- Nursing administrators need evidence-based data for critical decisions on nursing service quality and cost.
- A significant barrier to obtaining this data is the limited number of qualified nurse-researchers.
- This necessitates alternative strategies to foster research capacity within nursing services.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a consortium of nursing service agencies to prepare nurses for conducting research.
- To address the need for objective, tested information in nursing administration.
- To explore a collaborative model for building research skills among practicing nurses.
Main Methods:
- Formation of a consortium involving nine nursing service agencies.
- Development of a program to train nurses in research methodologies.
- Focus on enabling nurses to investigate issues pertinent to their practice and service areas.
Main Results:
- The consortium provided a framework for collaborative nursing research.
- Nurses were trained to conduct studies addressing practical concerns within their agencies.
- The initiative aimed to bridge the gap between research needs and available expertise.
Conclusions:
- A consortium model can effectively prepare nurses to conduct research relevant to nursing administration.
- Collaborative efforts can overcome workforce limitations in nurse-researchers.
- This approach supports evidence-based practice and enhances the quality and cost-effectiveness of nursing services.
