Bridging the gap between research and clinical practice: a collaborative approach.
In nursing, a gap sometimes exists between research and practice. This paper discusses how a group of 11 nurses successfully bridged this gap. The group was composed of nurses from a large teaching hospital, a regional outpatient cancer center, and a university. The result of the group's work over a two-year period was an externally funded research proposal. This paper discusses the strategies that led to the group's success and provides specific recommendations for nurses who want to form similar groups.
