Summary
Nursing research is often hidden within other disciplines, with teams failing to include nurses in relevant studies. This limits the benefit of transdisciplinary research for nurse researchers.
Area of Science:
- Health Sciences
- Social Sciences
- Nursing Research
Background:
- The Research Excellence Framework (REF) assesses the impact of research.
- Understanding nursing's contribution to research impact is crucial for the discipline's visibility and development.
- Previous analyses have not fully captured the extent of nursing's involvement or its 'hidden' contributions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and characterize nursing's contribution to impact case studies in REF 2021 and compare with REF 2014.
- To identify impact case studies relevant to nursing that excluded nurse researchers.
- To compare case studies with and without nurse researchers.
Main Methods:
- A desk-based analysis of published REF 2021 impact case study data.
- Searching the REF 2021 impact database using the term 'nurs*'.
- Categorizing impact case studies based on nurse involvement and developing variables for comparison.
Main Results:
- Approximately one-fifth of impact case studies involving nurse researchers are 'hidden' within other disciplines.
- Nurse researchers are frequently excluded from research teams working on topics highly relevant to nursing.
- Significant opportunities for transdisciplinary collaboration and benefit to nursing research are being missed.
Conclusions:
- Nursing research faces challenges related to disciplinary visibility and reputation.
- The potential benefits of transdisciplinary research for nursing are not fully realized due to limited nurse involvement.
- Strategies are needed to enhance the visibility of nursing research and promote effective interdisciplinary collaboration.

1.2K
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

2.2K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
2.1K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
