Gerontological research. Evaluating the process.
1. Gerontological research is a nucleus for scientific investigations. Federal funding priorities include long-term care, iatrogenic complications, quality and continuity of care, self-care, and coping/adaptation of patients and caregivers. 2. Replication, meta-analysis, and synthesis of existing data are potential strategies for building on previous research. 3. Although the quantity of nursing research is limited, findings from nursing and allied health studies provide useful contributions to nursing practice.
