Turning clinical problems into research.
The nursing process is well known by practicing nurses. The model for approaching the development of nursing research using this process has been presented. The clinical arena is rich in data and problems worthy of detailed research work. The models provide structure and methods that are familiar to practicing nurses so that they may begin to work with colleagues and other researchers in the clinical setting. A nurse who wants to use this model to begin research efforts needs interested colleagues in nursing, friends with patient ears, superiors who value this type of work, and affable determination.
