title: Getting it right under pressure: action research and reflection in palliative nursing.
abstract: This article describes a qualitative research project using a combination of reflection and action research. Eight experienced registered nurses identified their need to 'get it right under pressure' in their work in palliative care. Participants collaborated in generating and evaluating an action plan to enhance the likelihood of getting palliative nursing care right, under pressure, more often.
