Abstract:
A research utilization forum for clinical nurse specialists was initiated in the early 1990s in two service settings. The primary purpose of this voluntary, small-group strategy was to help master's-prepared clinicians gain knowledge and skills regarding the systematic use of research findings. This article describes the forum strategy and its conceptual base. It also reviews outcomes related to program objectives, utilization competencies, and case reports of subsequent clinical nurse specialist research utilization behavior.
