Nursing research in the hospital and beyond.
Outside is conceptualized as (1) settings in a larger system of care and (2) ways in which nursing transcends roles and relationships traditionally found in hospitals. The hospitals is one of many settings in the continuum of care. Although episodic hospitalization may be required, the health experience involves interface with sites outside the hospital. Nurses transcend the conventional expectation that they are implementors rather than orginators and that they are interdisciplinary team members rather than team leaders. A framework is presented that is compatible with this conceptualization in terms of nursing research, and scenarios illustrate strategies for nursing research using integration and maximization of existing resources.
