Academic and clinical collaboration.
Australian nurses have been slow to embrace and subsequently publish research that has been achieved through collaboration between academic and clinical nurses. If nursing is to continue its push towards greater professionalism, nurses from both areas must recognise the importance of collaboration in producing meaningful high quality research. Collaboration between nurse academics and clinical nurses has been advocated as a means of ensuring clinically relevant research. This paper explores collaboration and the issues that impinge on nurses conducting such research.
