Abstract
The authors examine the nursing research priority statements of the American Nurses' Association in terms of their historical development, comparative content, and impact, noting an evolving professional trend toward a predominant focus on clinical practice research. The 1962 Blueprint for Research in Nursing is highlighted, and its continuing relevance for contemporary nursing is stressed. The authors discuss the impact of nursing research on public policy, note its origin in the efforts of Florence Nightingale to influence health care reform, and cite examples of recent research with actual or potential impact. Future research priorities are suggested. Nurse researchers must design, conduct, and report research that is policy-relevant and includes cost variables, if such research is to have an impact on health policy.
