title: Helping students use nursing models to guide research.
abstract: This article describes a teaching-learning strategy that was used to help third-year undergraduate BSN students understand the importance of situating nursing research questions within a nursing theoretical framework. Examples of student-generated research questions and their transformation into questions that reflect explicit nursing frameworks are provided. Common difficulties encountered by the students are also discussed.
