title: Bedside nursing research. A new category of research?
abstract: A new category of clinical nursing research, labeled "bedside nursing research," is proposed and described in this article. Justification for this research category is based on its particular characteristics, such as its narrow focus on direct care procedures that have well-defined parameters and the patient outcomes of those procedures. Findings from this type of research have high clinical relevance and can directly influence nursing practice at the study site.
