title: Nurse teachers and research.
abstract: This paper explores issues relating to the role of the nurse teacher in teaching and supporting research activity. Drawing on results from a survey of nurse teachers in four colleges of nursing in England (n = 126), nurse teachers' attitudes to research are explored and the implications in developing research in nurse education considered. This exploration builds on a previous review of nurse teachers' roles in research in one college of nursing (Clifford 1993) and focuses on the implications of the findings in the context of the move of nurse education into higher education.
