title: Replication strategies for nursing research.
abstract: Implementing research findings into nursing practice has been seriously hampered by the lack of replication studies. One deterrent to replication is the vague and scant treatment that replication methodology has been given in the nursing literature. Knowledge of different replication strategies will enable researchers to choose the most appropriate approach. Four of the most frequently cited classifications of replication research are compared and a review of replication studies in nursing from 1983 to 1992 is included.
