Abstract:
Clinical nurses are responsible for ensuring their practice aligns with current evidence-based practice (EBP). They are also increasingly involved in participating in and leading research. Hospital-based nurse scientists help bring EBP to clinical nurses and engage clinical nurses in research. Ensuring robust access to current literature and building upon the current evidence by further scholarly dissemination requires close collaboration between nurse scientists and medical librarians. Expanding opportunities for clinical nurses to participate in evidence-based inquiry and research can be realized through strong collaborative relationships with nurse scientists and medical librarians. However, significant barriers impede nurses from participating in or leading research. Here, we describe several strategies we implemented at our academic level 1 trauma center to ensure clinical nurses can participate and lead nursing research.
