Development of a research committee at a community hospital.
This paper describes the process undertaken in setting up a nursing research committee in a community hospital in British Columbia. The primary goal of the committee is to increase awareness among bedside nurses of the value of research in their practice. This goal is based on the belief that research conducted by practicing nurses validates existing practice and promotes quality patient care, important concerns for nurse administrators.
