Abstract
In the past, researchers were sometimes identified as being far removed from the ‘realities’ of nursing and the job that ‘needs to be done’. Accusations of working in isolation from the patient and clinical services where ‘real’ nursing takes place may be less overtly stated nowadays, but there are suggestions that these claims still linger among many who are less engaged in research and its impact on nursing and healthcare practice. However, as nursing research becomes more established in the professional development of individuals and the basic training of new recruits, the importance of evidence-based practice and research to underpin healthcare service becomes more widely accepted as an integral part of nursing’s future. A large proportion of this change can be accounted for not only by the number of nurses engaging in research but by the range of projects undertaken by nurse researchers.
