Scoping Report Nursing Research In Europe
This report arose from a European Commission ERA-CARE Network project funded for one year from October 2004, within the European Union’s 6th Framework Programme. It maps the current state of nursing research in Europe.
Chapter 1 gives an overview of nursing research, offering a broad definition of the term and explaining how developing nursing research can benefit patients. Chapter 2 explains the methodology adopted and how the authors gathered data about nursing research in Europe. The following chapters give the main findings of the scoping exercise, with a chapter devoted to each of the countries included. The conclusion chapter summarises the main findings and considers what has been learned as a result of the work to inform the further development of nursing research in Europe.
Nursing research
The report takes an inclusive view of nursing research as a term referring to all research relevant to nurses and nursing. Nursing research may be carried out by scientists from many different disciplinary backgrounds, as well as by qualified nurses or individuals with a nursing background. ‘Nursing research’ also refers to the development of research capacity, capability and culture in nursing as a profession. This typically involves training nurses as researchers, but may also refer to the development of research facilities that employ, develop and draw on the expertise of researchers from a range of academic backgrounds to develop the evidence base for nursing practice.
At present, much clinical research focuses on ‘hard’ evidence on the effectiveness of innovations such as new drugs and technologies, but there is often little or no evidence on effective strategies to promote their practical implementation. Nursing research can help address this deficit. Advancing nursing research therefore goes hand-in-hand with advancing a patient-led research agenda. Key nursing issues that matter to patients – caring for long-term conditions, palliative care and quality of health services – have an international dimension that might benefit from multi-national research commissioning and sharing of expertise.
