title: [Research in theory and practice].
abstract: By means of a survey of international articles, the authors propose to demonstrate some factors which bear an influence on the development of research and investigation in nursing, some problems which affect it, and some strategies for its development inside a clinical-teaching environment. DEVELOPMENT OR RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION IN NURSING: In the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, other European countries, especially Spain, the authors observed the strong relationship which exists between the development of research and investigation in Nursing and its incorporation in universities. RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION IN CLINICS: In the opinion of many authors, the main field for research and investigation lies in clinical practice. The authors analyze seven basic requirements: academic curiosity; education in research and investigation; investigative activity; climate conducive to research and investigation; funds for research and investigation; dissemination of the results of research and investigation activities; and making use of the discoveries. TEACH AND INVESTIGATE: The authors point out strategies which enable a teacher to teach from an investigative approach and to stimulate students towards investigation at various levels according to the circumstances involved.
