The collaborative process in generating a nursing research study.
The chronicle of a cooperative research venture is presented in three sections: the sequence of events and the system within which the collaboration was sponsored, the pilot study and the actual cooperative research proposal, and the stresses and strains of the collaborative process. The vagaries of events, people, and places leading to the scientific review are described. Previous research on which the study proposal was based is described so that the natural evolution of a study which extends previous work may be depicted. Interpersonal problems, opportunities, and challenges of collaboration in research are described.
