title: Research utilizaton: an evaluation and critique of research related to oral temperature measurement.
abstract: The problem addressed was whether a research-based protocol on oral temperature measurement could be developed and used in the practice setting. The first phase of the study proposed to (a) identify research articles related to the subject; (b) evaluate the quality of the research; (c) assess the adequacy of the research base; and (d) select areas for future study. The results indicated that further clinically-based studies are needed before a protocol can be designed and tested in clinical practice.
