title: [Research lines proposed by Andalusian Association of Community Nursing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To define and prioritise the future research lines of the Andalusian Association of Community Nursing (ASANEC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Application of the Delphi technique within the members of the Working Group of the Research area of ASANEC, consisting of Community nurses from clinical and educational settings, as regards research in seven Andalusian provinces. Three rounds of participation were performed, with the last one being prioritised using a Linear Scale. Averages and standard deviations have been calculated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The total number of participants on this technique was 13 professionals (54.16%). The main research lines finally agreed and prioritised, were the following, in decreasing order: «care management», «quality of life», «lifestyles and health education in children and adolescent population», «design and validation of nursing assessment tools», «patient safety», «accessibility to healthcare services and development of self-care capacity».
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Research on the new model of care management introduced into Andalusian primary care was given priority, although there are more emerging research lines related to Health Promotion and Prevention of Health problems in the general population, children, young people and vulnerable populations. These results have been the deciding factors in the choice of the current research lines developed by the ASANEC Research Group.
