title: Integrating research into practice.
abstract: Active involvement of students in research projects during implementation of the nursing role emphasizes regular implementation of this component in practice. Several examples of undergraduate research activities are described that developed out of the university based home health care agency and the faculty member's clinical practice. Some of these experiences not only met the educational goals related to research but also became the foundation for quality programs for clients in a variety of areas.
