title: [Cooperation between practice and academia: the self-concept of nursing and scientific experts].
abstract: The term best-practice stems from industry and administration vocabulary, meaning improvement of processes regarding quality, efficiency and output. Nursing output of healthcare institutions are nursing outcomes gained for patients. Research results are their basis. In research literature exemplary best-practice projects can be found, which describe conceptual models for the transfer from research to practice as well as specific projects in which these theories were used. These projects identified different obstacles and solutions for research transfer, each for scientists, nursing staff, institutions and the nursing profession on the whole. The question remains why in Germany specific support programmes for colloboration between theory and practice are necessary, although nursing science is considered as a practical discipline. For further developments in nursing practice experts are required who show both nursing and scientific expertise and who are working directly with patients.
