title: Perioperative nursing research in southern Africa.
abstract: 1. Botswana, a developing country in Southern Africa, is leading the way to higher education in nursing and nursing research. 2. Clinical research studies are a recent addition; to date, only four involve perioperative nursing issues. 3. Nurses need advanced education within universities where practice can be examined in relation to rigorous scientific inquiry--to replace decisions made solely on the basis of culture, tradition, or economics.
