title: The initial RNF research survey: rehabilitation nursing research interests of ARN members.
abstract: The data from this survey provide baseline information for comparison with subsequent surveys. Respondents to this initial survey demonstrate involvement in research activities, primarily for the direct improvement of care. Findings from the data suggest that the research climate is right for collaborative efforts between rehabilitation nurses caring directly for clients and nurses with research degrees to conduct multisite research projects and to encourage enhanced research preparation, including computer literacy, for nurses at the graduate level.
