Identifying nursing research priorities in an acute care hospital.
The purpose of this study was to identify nursing research priorities for an acute care hospital. Using the Delphi technique, data were obtained from a panel of 52 nurses who held administrative, staff, or support positions. After three rounds of data collection, a prioritized listing of potential research topics was obtained. The study results have helped motivate and guide research efforts, stimulate formation of research interest groups, and attract local researchers to the facility.
