title: [Participation of nurses in the execution of clinical research protocol about technological innovation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the nurse's experience of inclusion in interdisciplinary clinical study about technological innovation, involving people with spinal cord injury.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive experience report. The empirical support was based on notes about perspectives and practice of clinical research, with a multi-professional nursing, physical education, physiotherapy and engineering staff.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The qualification includes the elaboration of the document for the Ethics Committee, familiarization among the members of staff and with the studied topic, and also an immersion into English. The nurse's knowledge gave support to the uptake of participants and time adequacy for data collection, preparation and assistance of the participants during the intervention and after collection. Nursing theories and processes have contributed to reveal risky diagnoses and the plan of care. It was the nurse's role to monitor the risk of overlapping methodological strictness to the human aspect. The skills for the clinical research must be the object of learning, including students in multidisciplinary researches.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To qualify the nurse for clinical research and to potentialize its caregiver essence, some changes are needed in the educational system, professional behavior, attitude and educational assistance.
