Abstract

Academics need to address the facilitation of nurses in practice to research and develop the care given to patients if nursing is to move closer towards a research-based profession. This paper describes a project involving collaboration between an academic department of nursing and nurses working in clinical practice providing care at home for children with cancer. The project involved an audit of the nursing care records for the service, and the development of a new style of record-keeping which described and quantified complex nursing care. The authors discuss the method and results of the project, describing the benefits of research and practice collaboration.
