Evaluation of the research agenda for rehabilitation nursing.

From 1993 to 1995, under the direction of the board of directors of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN), the Rehabilitation Nursing Foundation (RNF) created a research agenda for the field, which was published in 1996. The goal of the agenda was to identify a broad range of issues in rehabilitation practice that could be examined to advance the scientific knowledge base. Ten years later, the board of directors of ARN directed RNF to evaluate and update the agenda. A committee of three ARN members was formed to undertake this task. This article reports the committee's evaluation of the 1996 Rehabilitation Nursing Research Agenda. A separate article reports on the process of revising the agenda.

Revision of the Rehabilitation Nursing Research Agenda.

In 2005, the board of directors of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses (ARN) directed the Rehabilitation Nursing Foundation (RNF) to evaluate and revise the Rehabilitation Nursing Research Agenda. Following a review of the processes used by other nursing organizations to evaluate their research agendas, RNF first evaluated the effectiveness of the agenda, and then RNF embarked on a process to update and revise the agenda. The process included generating new and revised statements of research priorities based on the evaluation process, followed by a survey of members of ARN to rate the relevance of each statement to the profession. The results are a new Rehabilitation Nursing Research Agenda consisting of 19 statements of research priorities grouped into four categories. This new agenda has the potential to drive rehabilitation nursing research for the next 10 years.
