title: Data collection as an educational process.
abstract: Data collection, an experiential method for learning about the research process, may affect the attitudes and future research involvement of nurse data collectors. This study describes the effects of the data collection experience on nurses' perceptions of nursing research and the research environment and on their plans for research involvement. Implications of using the data collection experience as an educational process about research are included.
