The myth of "captive subjects" in hospital-based nursing research.
The completion of data collection in an environment rich with potential subjects can be very challenging. The experience is somewhat like being thirsty and being surrounded by salt water. The strategies presented here represent the application of a wide range of strategies from the literature, peer consultation, and research team problem solving. These specific strategies can be adapted to a wide range of types of clinical research and clinical settings. The entire research team found solving each problem and obstacle as it arose to be challenging and rewarding. Sharing the work load and problem solving among the research team was both productive and enjoyable.
